Oru Manju Thulliyil Song from Akasha Ganga – Lyrics in English with Translation
Oru manju thulliyil
Suvarnna marivillu veenalinjuvo
Did a golden rainbow fall down &
Dissolved in a dew drop?
Oru kunju poovil varshamegham
Umma vachu peythozhinjuvo
Did a rain cloud kiss a small flower,
& Dissolved, pouring down?
Jadayirangi malayirangi maramirangi mannirangi
Amara ganga ozhuki ethum pralayam
Akasha ganga vannu moodum pulakam
Alighting *Jada (Long hair of Shiva),
Alighting mountain,
Alighting tree and earth,
This love is like
Immortal Ganga flowing down as a flood,
And it’s a tingle
Which fully wraps like Akasha Ganga (Milky Way)
Sundaram sughakaram
Ee madhura nimishamallee jeevitham
Beautiful… pleasure…
Isn’t it this sweet moment, the real life?
Kadarinju puzhayarinju
Kadal arinju thira niranju vaa
Letting know forest & lake,
Come as a filling wave, letting know the seas
Kattarinju mazhayarinju
Manthrakodi nanananaju
Kathirunna kanni mannil vaa
Letting know wind & rain,
And drenching your wedding dress
Come into the waiting soil (which is dry)
Chippi kandu muthu kandu
Mungi neernnu vaa
Watching shells & pearls,
Come, after having a bath
Swargavathil nee thurannu –
Swarnna veena tha
Open the door of heaven &
Give me golden veena
Sundaram sughakaram
Ee sukritha nimishamallee jeevitham
Beautiful… pleasure…
Isn’t this blissful moment the real life?
Oru manju thulliyil
Suvarnna marivillu veenalinjuvo
Did a golden rainbow fall down &
Dissolved in a dew drop?
Oru kunju poovil varshamegham
Umma vachu peythozhinjuvo
Did a rain cloud kiss a small flower,
& Dissolved, pouring down?
Onnilonnaay chernnalinju
Mizhi niranju thuzha thuzhanju vaa
Dissolving in each other,
Come, filling eyes & rowing waters
Mannil veena minneduthu
Madiyilittu mudiyazhichu
Taking the mangalsutra locket that fell on earth,
Placing on lap & unlocking the hair,
Manthravaada sandhyayayi vaa
Come as the magical dusk.
Devadharuvil padarnnu poothirangi vaa
Devathe enikku ninte daahaveena tha
Spread in *Devadaru tree,
Blossom & come down.
Hey Devatha (Goddess),
Give me your veena of thirst
Sundaram sukhakaram
Ee pralaya lahariyalle jeevatham
Beautiful…pleasure…
Isn’t it this flooding intoxication, the real life?
Oru manju thulliyil
Suvarnna marivillu veenalinjuvo
Did a golden rainbow fall down &
Dissolved in a dew drop?
Oru kunju poovil varshamegham
Umma vachu peythozhinjuvo
Did a rain cloud kiss a small flower,
& Dissolved, pouring down?
Jadayirangi malayirangi maramirangi mannirangi
Amara ganga ozhuki ethum pralayam
Akasha ganga vannu moodum pulakam
Alighting *Jada (Long hair of Shiva),
Alighting mountain,
Alighting tree and earth,
This love is like
Immortal Ganga flowing down as a flood,
And it’s a tingle
Which fully wraps like Akasha Ganga (Milky Way)
Sundaram sughakaram
Ee madhura nimishamallee jeevitham
Beautiful… pleasure…
Isn’t it this sweet moment, the real life?
