Raakkuyil Paadi Song from Kasthooriman – Lyrics in English with Translation

Rakuyil Padi Ravinte Shokam
Nakshatra Kunjungalkinnaanandha Vela
The night bird sang night’s sorrows
Star children tonight, have happy moments
Rakuyil Padi Ravinte Shokam
Nakshatra Kunjungalkinnaanandha Vela
The night bird sang night’s sorrows
Star children tonight, have happy moments
Idarunnu Thalam Thulumbunnu Kanneer
Idanenjiletho Mani Veena Thengi
Scattering rhythm
Brimming tears
Some earthen Veena sobbed in heart
Rakuyil Padi Ravinte Shokam
Nakshatra Kunjungalkinnaanandha Vela (M)
The night bird sang night’s sorrows
Star children tonight, have happy moments
Hoi, Kattathethum Vellam
Mazha Vellam Mazha Vellam
Hai Muttam Ethum Vellam
Mazha Vellam Mazha Vellam
Water that reaches through the wind,
Water, rainwater
Water kissing courtyard,
Water, rainwater
Njanundakkum Kali Vallam Vallam
Thane Thullidum Ennullam (Chorus)
Play boat I make,
My heart also jumps along
Ravin Nenjil Pookunnuvo
Vaada Mallikal
Is it blossoming in the heart of night,
Non-withering jasmines?
Mannin Maaril Veezhunnuvo
Vaadum Poovukal
Is it falling in Earth’s bosom,
Withering flowers?
Ravin Nenjil Pookunnuvo
Vaada Mallikal
Is it blossoming in the heart of night,
Non-withering jasmines?
Mannin Maaril Veezhunnuvo
Vaadum Poovukal
Is it falling in Earth’s bosom,
Withering flowers?
Irulurungumbol Unarum Prabhatham
Marayunnu Vanil Thara Jaalam
The morning that wakes up,
When night sleeps
And disappear the magical stars of the sky
Evide Evide Neela Thukalin Chantham-
Charthum Swapnangal
Marayunnatharu Theliyunnatharu
Where is the beauty of blue cloth(sky)?
Who is disappearing?
Who is becoming visible?
Rakuyil Padi Ravinte Shokam
Nakshatra Kunjungalkinnaanandha Vela (M)
The night bird sang night’s sorrows
Star children tonight, have happy moments
Aaaaa Om Karam Om Karam Aaaaaaaa
Sa Sa Sa Sa Ri Ri Sa Ni Sa Sa Ni Pa Pa
Sa Sa Ni Sa Dha Ri Sa Ni Pa Ga
Ma Pa Dha Ni
Om Kaara Pankara Dheera Pura Hara Saroja-
Bhava Kesha Vadhi Roopa Vaasavani Poo
Janakanthakaaaaaaa (F)
Rakuyil Padi Ravinte Shokam
Nakshatra Kunjungalkinnaanandha Vela
The night bird sang night’s sorrows
Star children tonight, have happy moments
Hoi, Kattathethum Vellam
Mazha Vellam Mazha Vellam
Hai Muttam Ethum Vellam
Mazha Vellam Mazha Vellam
Water that reaches through the wind,
Water, rainwater
Water kissing courtyard,
Water, rainwater
Njanundakkum Kali Vallam Vallam
Thane Thullidum Ennullam
Play boat I make,
My heart also jumps along
Hoi, Kattathethum Vellam
Mazha Vellam Mazha Vellam
Hai Muttam Ethum Vellam
Mazha Vellam Mazha Vellam
Water that reaches through the wind,
Water, rainwater
Water kissing courtyard,
Water, rainwater
Njanundakkum Kali Vallam Vallam
Thane Thullidum Ennullam (Chorus)
Play boat I make,
My heart also jumps along
Kunchakko Magic of late 1990s and early 2000s
Undoubtedly, no one in Mollywood has ever created the kind of ripples and hysteria that Kunchacko Boban did as a youth icon and romantic hero. Born into a family of filmmakers, he entered the film industry in 1997, at a time when veteran stars like Mohanlal, Mammootty, and Suresh Gopi ruled the screen with action films and family dramas. No hero truly represented the youth then.
Two romantic films opposite Shalini — Aniyathipravu and Niram — made him the heartthrob of youngsters. Today, he has moved on to more mature roles, and most of his films receive critical acclaim. He also commands a wider audience. Yet he is still remembered by Malayalis as the face of modern romance, much like Shah Rukh Khan has been to Bollywood since the mid-1990s. Some people are simply irreplaceable.
