Ponnitta Pettakam song from Pranaya Nilavu – Lyrics in English with Translation

Ponnitta pettakam poottalle

Ath thannathenikkee muthalle

Kanninum kannayi vannille

Ilam kanni nilavin vilakkalle

It’s a box with gold, with a lock

What it gave me is this pearl.

It came as precious even more than eyes

Is it not the lamp of tender moonlight?

Kanikaanaan oru poomottu

Kathil oru thaaratt

Kannaam thumbi thenoott

A flower bud to see *kani (first sight)

A lullaby for ears

Hey dragonfly, feed with honey

Ponnitta pettakam poottalle

Ath thannathenikkee muthalle

Kanninum kannayi vannille

Ilam kanni nilavin vilakkalle

It’s a box with gold, with a lock

What it gave me is this pearl.

It came as precious even more than eyes

Is it not the lamp of tender moonlight?

 

Thankam ninne kaanaan

Innu thamara pookal vannu

Konchum paalmozhi kelkkan

Oru panchavarnnakkili vannu

Hey gold, to see you

Lotus flowers came today

To listen to your sweet words

A bird with five colours, also came.

Kai viralaal nee thodumbol

Manchiradil pon velicham

Ente punyam polaa sindhooram

When you touch with finger

Golden flame in earthen lamp

That shade, like my blessings

Ponnitta pettakam poottalle

Ath thannathenikkee muthalle

Kanninum kannayi vannille

Ilam kanni nilavin vilakkalle

It’s a box with gold, with a lock

What it gave me is this pearl.

It came as precious even more than eyes

Is it not the lamp of tender moonlight?

 

Thaazhampoove ninne

Mizhi thenmazhayil njan moodum

Neeradum nin munnil

Mani thaarakal kaaval nilkkum

Hey *Thazhampoo (Fragrant screw pine flower)

I shall wrap you in the honey rain of my eyes

While you are bathing,

Beautiful stars will guard in front of you

Annamaayi nee punchirikkum

Ammaye pol snehamoottum

Nira pournamiyallo neeyennum

You will smile as a swan

Will feed love like mother

Are you not full moon, everyday?

Ponnitta pettakam poottalle

Ath thannathenikkee muthalle

Kanninum kannayi vannille

Ilam kanni nilavin vilakkalle

It’s a box with gold, with a lock

What it gave me is this pearl.

It came as precious even more than eyes

Is it not the lamp of tender moonlight?

Kanikaanaan oru poomottu

Kathil oru thaaratt

Kannaam thumbi thenoott

A flower bud to see *kani (first sight)

A lullaby for ears

Hey dragonfly, feed with honey

Ponnitta pettakam poottalle

Ath thannathenikkee muthalle

Kanninum kannayi vannille

Ilam kanni nilavin vilakkalle

It’s a box with gold, with a lock

What it gave me is this pearl.

It came as precious even more than eyes

Is it not the lamp of tender moonlight?
