Thalirvalayo Song from Cheenavala – Lyrics in English with Translation
Thalirvalayo thaamaravalayo thaalipponvalayo
Is it a tender net,
Is it a lotus net,
Or the net of golden mangalsutra?
Nin sringaara chippiyil veenathu
Swapnavalayo… pushpavalayo….
What fell in your romantic shell,
Is it a dream net, or a flower net?
Thalirvalayo thaamaravalayo thaalipponvalayo
Is it a tender net,
Is it a lotus net,
Or the net of golden mangalsutra?
Vembanaattu kaayalkkarayil
Veyil piravu chirakunakkum cheenavalakarikil
On the banks of *Vembanad lake shore
Near the Chinese(fishing) net
Where sunlight dove dries its wings,
Arikil arikil cheenavalakarikil
Near..near..near to Chinese net,
Aadi vaa aninju vaa pennaale
Come dancing,
Come wearing makeup, hey girl
Naale aariyankavil nammude thaalikettu
Tomorrow is our wedding at *Aryankavu (sacred mangrove)
Aayiram pooppaalikayile sindooram choodi varaam
Will come with
Sindoor in 1000 flower plates
Poyi varaam poyi varaam
Shall go & come back
Thalirvalayo thaamaravalayo thaalipponvalayo
Is it a tender net,
Is it a lotus net,
Or the net of golden mangalsutra?
Velli pookum aattum kadavil
Vilakumaadam kanneriyum poonthonippadavil
On the bank of the river where silver blossoms,
In the steps of the boat, where the lantern hut throws eyes
Padavil padavil poonthonippadavil
In the step…steps of the boat,
Paadi vaa parannu vaa pennaale
Come singing,
Come flying, hey girl
Naale pathiraamanalil nammude adyaraathri
Aayiram raavukal thediya romancham
Choodi varaam poyi varaam poyi varaam
Tomorrow is our first night at *Pathiramanal
I shall come adorning
Horripilation of 1000 nights
Shall go & come back
Thalirvalayo thaamaravalayo thaalipponvalayo
Is it a tender net,
Is it a lotus net,
Or the net of golden mangalsutra?
Nin sringaara chippiyil veenathu
Swapnavalayo… pushpavalayo….
What fell in your romantic shell,
Is it a dream net, or a flower net?
Thalirvalayo thaamaravalayo thaalipponvalayo
Is it a tender net,
Is it a lotus net,
Or the net of golden mangalsutra?
*Pathiramanal – An island inside Vembanad Lake, situated in Alappuzha district.
