Through gentle breeze

Through the banks of Yamuna

Vrushchikamaasanilaavoli pooshiya vrindaavanikayiloode

Through the Vrindavan garden,

Painted with moonlight of *Vrishchikam month,

Ee dwarakaapuri thedi varunnavalaaro…. Neeyaaro (M)

Who is this girl coming,

In search of Dwaraka,

Who are you?

Gomedakamanimuthukal chinniya govarddhanathin madiyil

In the lap of Govardhana

Where the beads of Hessonite gems are scattered

Kodi janmangalil nin kuzhal vilikettodivannaval njaan –

Ninte gopakanyaka njaan (F)

I am the one,

In millions of births,

Came running

Listening to your flute.

I am the gopi of yours

 

Raasavilasini raadha ente raakaa shashimukhi raadha

Someone who enjoys Rasa dance,

My Radha

The one with the face of moon.

Enne vikaaravimohithanaakkiya vrindaavanathile raadha

The Radha of Vrindavan

Who made me desiring love & emotions.

Ee raajasadanam nee alankarikkoo priya raadhe (M)

Decorate this royal house

Dear Radha…

Adorning the golden ornaments of crescent moon

Manmadha pushpasharangal maaril vidarthi (F)

Blossoming the flower arrows of cupid in bosom

Innum nruthanishaasadanathil varaarundallo (M)

You come every night on the dance stage

Enne madaalasayaakkaarulla manohara raathri (F)

The beautiful night which makes me intoxicated

Jalatharangathaalam (M)

The rhythm of Jal Tharang

Yamunaathada mrudanga melam (F)

The music of mridanga on the banks of Yamuna

Neelakkadambinnilathaalam

Ilam peeli vidarthum mayilaattam (M)

*Ilathaalam of blue kadamb flower

The dance of peacock, spreading tender feathers

Kannaa nin kaananamuralee kalanaadam, enne

Orapsara narthakiyaakkiya geetham (F)

Kanna, the sweet voice of your wild flute

The song which transformed me to a celestial dancer

Ormmayundo ormmayundo ormmayundo (M)

Do you remember?

Do you remember?

Do you remember?

Dearest Aromalunni Kanna…

Please wear, in your royal chest,

The crossandra garland made by me

Note: Year of release of the movie is noted as 1972, 1974 and 1975 in different websites.

*Aromalunni is the titular role played by Prem Nazir in this movie, a warrior told in Northern Ballads of Malabar

*Ilathaalam – one among the 5 musical instruments used in Panchavadyam

A brief note on Vijayasree – The heroine of this song, known as Marilyn Monroe of Malayalam had a short but glorious career in the first half of 1970s. Her pairing with evergreen hero Prem Nazir was immensely popular, and fans admired her beauty. No other actress had such a string of hits in the short span. Only exception maybe Manju Warrier.

65 films in 4 or 5 yrs! She committed suicide at the age of 21 at the peak of career & a few movies released posthumously. Her death is still a controversy – whether suicide or murder. As per rumours, while shooting for a bathing scene in a movie, wardrobe malfunction occurred & filmmakers who shot her zoomed video, later used to blackmail her. That’s why she committed suicide.

One of her close friends from film industry, a co-actress clarifies that Vijayashree can never commit suicide. In fact she had one secret lover who she wanted to get married. What’s the truth, who knows!!! Her death, still a mystery.
