Kannuthurakkatha Daivangale song from Agniputhri – Lyrics in English with Translation

Kannuthurakkaatha daivangale

Karayaanariyaatha chirikkaanariyaatha

Kaliman prathimakale

Marakku ningalee devadaasiye

Marakkoo marakkoo

Hey gods who never open eyes

Who don’t know to cry…

Who don’t know to smile…

Just clay statues.

Please forget this Devadasi…

Please forget…

Forget…

 

Aayiramaayiram anthapurangalil

Aaraadhichaval njaan ningale

Aaraadhichaval njaan

In thousands & thousands of *Anthapurams

I am someone who worshiped you all,

Someone who worshiped you all.

Ningalorikkal choodiyerinjoru

Ningalorikkal choodiyerinjoru

Nishaagandhiyaanu njaan

I am a Nishagandhi

Who you wore once & thrown away

Kannuthurakkaatha daivangale

Karayaanariyaatha chirikkaanariyaatha

Kaliman prathimakale

Marakku ningalee devadaasiye

Marakkoo marakkoo

Hey gods who never open eyes

Who don’t know to cry…

Who don’t know to smile…

Just clay statues.

Please forget this Devadasi…

Please forget…

Forget…

 

Karppoora naalamaay ningal than munpil

Kathiyerinjaval njaan

Orunaal kathiyerinjaval njaan

As a camphor flame, in front of you all

I am someone who burned herself,

Someone who burned one day.

Kanneeril mungiya thulasikkathiraay

As a basil leaf filled with tears

Kanneeril mungiya thulasikkathiraay

As a basil leaf filled with tears

Kaalkkal veenaval njaan

Kaalkkal veenaval njaan

I am someone who fell into your feet

I am someone who fell into your feet

Kannuthurakkaatha daivangale

Karayaanariyaatha chirikkaanariyaatha

Kaliman prathimakale

Marakku ningalee devadaasiye

Marakkoo marakkoo

Hey gods who never open eyes

Who don’t know to cry…

Who don’t know to smile…

Just clay statues.

Please forget this Devadasi…

Please forget…

Forget…
