Kannadi Kayyil song from Paavam Paavam Rajakumaran – Lyrics in English with Translation

Kannaadi kayil kalyanam kando, kakkathi kiliye..

In the mirror hand,

Have you seen marriage, the bird of the *Kakkathi (a tribe)?

Ullathil chendumallippoo virinjoraalundo..

Azhakolum thambranundoo…

Is there someone to throw a bunch of jasmine flowers into heart?

Is there a handsome prince?

Kannaadi kayil kalyanam kando, kakkathi kiliye..

In the mirror hand,

Have you seen marriage, the bird of the *Kakkathi (a tribe)?

Ullathil chendumallippoo virinjoraalundo..

Azhakolum thambranundoo…

Is there someone to throw a bunch of jasmine flowers into heart?

Is there a handsome prince?

Kannaadi kayil kalyanam kando…

In the mirror hand,

Have you seen marriage?

 

Thalirolakkayi ne ittu kathirone pole,

Avanenne thedi ethumbol…..

Like the sun who put forward his tender arms of rays,

While he comes in search of me,

Thalirolakkayi ne ittu kathirone pole,

Avanenne thedi ethumbol….

Like the sun who put forward his tender arms of rays,

While he comes in search of me,

Parayan vayyathe, paadan vayyathe..

Kilivaathil paathiyilude kankulire njan kanum..

Losing speech, Unable to sing,

I shall be watching him through half opened window,

Till my mind fills,

Kannodu kan nirayum…

And both our eyes will be filled with tears

Kannaadi kayil kalyanam kando, kakkathi kiliye..

In the mirror hand,

Have you seen marriage, the bird of the *Kakkathi (a tribe)?

Ullathil chendumallippoo virinjoraalundo..

Azhakolum thambran undoo…

Is there someone to throw a bunch of jasmine flowers into heart?

Is there a handsome prince?

Kannaadi kayil kalyanam kando…

In the mirror hand,

Have you seen marriage?

 

Ilaneela thiri neettum, Pon arayal kombil

Avan enne kandirunnalo…

In the branch of banyan tree,

Where the light blue lamp is lighted (*Is it moonlight?)

What if he sits & watches me!

Ilaneela thiri neettum, Pon arayal kombil

Avan enne kandirunnalo…

In the branch of banyan tree,

Where the light blue lamp is lighted (*Is it moonlight?)

What if he sits & watches me!

Oru janmam porathe, maru janmam porathe..

Thannethan oru nimineram, Oruthudiyayi cherum,

As one birth is not enough,

& Next birth too is not enough,

You will unite with me as a single beat,

In a moment spontaneously,

Kannodu kan nirayum…

And both our eyes will be filled with tears

Kannaadi kayil kalyanam kando, kakkathi kiliye..

In the mirror hand,

Have you seen marriage, the bird of the *Kakkathi (a tribe)?

Ullathil chendumallippoo virinjoraalundo..

Azhakolum thambran undoo…

Is there someone to throw a bunch of jasmine flowers into heart?

Is there a handsome prince?

Kannaadi kayil kalyanam kando……

In the mirror hand,

Have you seen marriage?
