Thambraan Thoduthathu song from Sindooracheppu – Lyrics in English with Translation

Thambraan thoduthathu malarambu

Thambraatti pidichathu poonkombu

Dhaahichu mohichu thapassirunnu

Thambraatti pidichathu poonkombu

What the ‘prince’ shot was flower arrow,

What the ‘princess’ caught was flower branch

Doing tapas with thirst & desire,

What the ‘princess’ caught was flower branch

Thambraan thoduthathu malarambu

Thambraatti pidichathu poonkombu

Dhaahichu mohichu thapassirunnu

Thambraatti pidichathu poonkombu

What the ‘prince’ shot was flower arrow,

What the ‘princess’ caught was flower branch

Doing tapas with thirst & desire,

What the ‘princess’ caught was flower branch

 

Changala kilukkam kellkkumbol

Chankilakathoru peda pedappu

When she hears the jingling of (elephant) chains,

Her heart beats too fast

Changala kilukkam kellkkumbol

Chankilakathoru peda pedappu

When she hears the jingling of (elephant) chains,

Her heart beats too fast

Manakkale pappaane kaanumbol

Penninte kavilathu thudu thuduppu

When she sees the mahout of *Mana (House of Brahmins)

Girl’s cheek blushes

Manakkale pappaane kaanumbol

Penninte kavilathu thudu thuduppu

When she sees the mahout of *Mana (House of Brahmins)

Girl’s cheek blushes

Thambraan thoduthathu malarambu

Thambraatti pidichathu poonkombu

Dhaahichu mohichu thapassirunnu

Thambraatti pidichathu poonkombu

What the ‘prince’ shot was flower arrow,

What the ‘princess’ caught was flower branch

Doing tapas with thirst & desire,

What the ‘princess’ caught was flower branch

 

Karayile pidichitta meen pole

Kadakannu thudikkanathenthaanu

Like a fish put on bank,

Why is her eye fluttering?

Karayile pidichitta meen pole

Kadakannu thudikkanathenthaanu

Like a fish put on bank,

Why is her eye fluttering?

Kaavile pooram kanaamo

Karalile thevare poonaano

Is it to watch the festival at sacred mangroves,

Or to embrace the lord of heart?

Kaavile pooram kanaamo

Karalile thevare poonaano

Is it to watch the festival at sacred mangroves,

Or to embrace the lord of heart?

Thambraan thoduthathu malarambu

Thambraatti pidichathu poonkombu

Dhaahichu mohichu thapassirunnu

Thambraatti pidichathu poonkombu

What the ‘princess’ caught was flower branch

Doing tapas with thirst & desire,

What the ‘princess’ caught was flower branch

 

Aarum kothikkana pennaanu

Aalila vayarulla pennaanu

She is a girl everyone desires,

A girl with (flat) belly like banyan leaf

Madham potti ninnaal patoolaa

Manakkale pappaan pidichu kettum

You can’t stay rutting (like elephant)

The mahout of *Mana

Will catch & tie somewhere
