Ponne Ponnambili from Harikrishnans – Lyrics in English with translation

Ponne ponnambili

Ninne kaanaan kannaayiram

Hey gold…. Golden moon

To watch you, thousand eyes

Vinnin vaarthinkale

Ingu thaazhe maanathu vaa

Hey beautiful moon of sky,

Come here, to skies below

Kuyilammappenninte panchaara chundile

Paadaatha paattu kavarnnu nalkaam

Shall give you the unsung song

Of sweet lips of cuckoo bird

Kankalilaayiram kaithiri neettidaam

Kannaadikkavilil kaarmeghappottu thodaam

Shall light 1000 lamps in your eyes

In the mirror-like cheeks,

Shall put a bindi of dark cloud

Ponne ponnambili

Ninne kaanaan kannaayiram

Hey gold…. Golden moon

To watch you, thousand eyes

Vinnin vaarthinkale

Ingu thaazhe maanathu vaa

Hey beautiful moon of sky,

Come here, to skies below

Kuyilammappenninte panchaara chundile

Paadaatha paattu kavarnnu nalkaam

Shall give you the unsung song

Of sweet lips of cuckoo bird

Kankalilaayiram kaithiri neettidaam

Kannaadikkavilil kaarmeghappottu thodaam

In the mirror-like cheeks,

Shall put a bindi of dark cloud

 

Mindaappenne ninakkaayiram naavu

The non-talking(silent) girl,

You have thousand tongues

Neril kathir mazhayaay

Peythunarumpol then mozhiyazhaku

When you pour down as truth rain,

Stop, and wake up,

Your words have the beauty of honey

Kanneer thumpi ninte pavizha chundil

The teared dragonfly,

In your pearl like lips

Panineerppoovithalaay melle virinjoo

Poomchiriyazhaku

Slowly blossomed a beautiful smile,

Like petals of a perfumed rose.

Minnaamini ninakkaayiram koodu

Koottinurangaan thoo vennilavu

Hey firefly, thousand nests for you,

To accompany you in sleep,

The white moonlight

 

Ponne ponnambili

Ninne kaanaan kannaayiram

Hey gold…. Golden moon

To watch you, thousand eyes

Vinnin vaarthinkale

Ingu thaazhe maanathu vaa

Hey beautiful moon of sky,

Come here, to skies below

 

Chakkarappoocha kalikkoottarumaayi

*Chakkara cat, with friends,

Chokkarakkannirukki kothi thullunne

Nin koodarike

Winking his eyes, is standing near your nest,

With hunger (desire for food)

Kaniyaan kaakka kalikkeertham paadi

*Kaniyan crow singing songs,

Kadinjool kanmaniyude kalyaanam chollum

Nin kaathukalil

Is informing you in your ears,

About the marriage

Of first child.

Vende venda engum pokem venda

Ee ambilikkunju njangalkkullathalle

Don’t…Don’t….

Don’t go away

This moonchild is ours only

Ponne ponnambili

Ninne kaanaan kannaayiram

Hey gold…. Golden moon

To watch you, thousand eyes

Vinnin vaarthinkale

Ingu thaazhe maanathu vaa

Hey beautiful moon of sky,

Come here, to skies below

Kuyilammappenninte panchaara chundile

Paadaatha paattu kavarnnu nalkaam

Shall give you the unsung song

Of sweet lips of cuckoo bird

Kankalilaayiram kaithiri neettidaam

Kannaadikkavilil kaarmeghappottu thodaam

Shall light 1000 lamps in your eyes

In the mirror-like cheeks,

Shall put a bindi of dark cloud

Ponne ponnambili

Ninne kaanaan kannaayiram

Hey gold…. Golden moon

To watch you, thousand eyes

Vinnin vaarthinkale

Ingu thaazhe maanathu vaa

Hey beautiful moon of sky,

Come here, to skies below
