Ponveyil Manikacha song from Nrithasaala – Lyrics in English with Translation

Ponveyil manikacha azhinju veenu

Swarna peedhambaram ulanju veenu

The dress knot of golden beams fell down

Golden yellow dress (of Krishna) shook and fell

Kannante manmadha leela vinodhangal

Sundari vanarani anukarichu

Sundari vanarani anukarichu

Those intimate games played by Kannan

Were imitated by the pretty jungle queen

 

Sandyayaam gopastree than mugham thuduthu

Chenthalir meyyil thaara nagham amarnnu

The face of dusk, the gopika blushed

On her tender body, nails of stars pressed

Sandyayam gopastree than mugham thuduthu

Chenthalir meyyil thaara nagham amarnnu

The face of dusk, the gopika blushed

On her tender body, nails of stars pressed

Rajeeva nayanante rathi veenayaakuvan

Radhikee.. radhikee iniyum nee orungiyille

To become the lustful veena –

Of the lotus-eyed one (Krishna),

Hey Radhika, haven’t you got ready yet?

Ponveyil manikacha azhinju veenu

The dress knot of golden beams fell down

 

Kanchana noopurangal azhichuvechu

Kalindi poonilavil mayakkamayi

After untying golden anklets

Kalindi has fallen asleep in moonlight

Kannante maarile malar maalayakuvan

Kamini.. kamini iniyum nee orungiyille

To become the garland on Kannan’s chest

Hey lover haven’t you got ready yet?

Pon veyil manikazha azhinju veenu

Swarna peedhambaram ulanju veenu

The dress knot of golden beams fell down

Golden yellow dress (of Krishna) shook and fell
