Ujjayiniyile Gaayikaa Song from Kadal Palam – Lyrics in English with Translation
Ujjayiniyile Gaayikaa
Urvvashiyennoru Maalavika
Shilpikal Theertha Kaalidaasante
Kalprathimayil Maalayittu
A singer from Ujjain,
A Malavika named Urvasi
In the stone statue of Kalidasa,
Made by sculptors,
She put a garland
Ujjayiniyile Gaayikaa
Urvvashiyennoru Maalavika
Shilpikal Theertha Kaalidaasante
Kalprathimayil Maalayittu
A singer from Ujjain,
A Malavika named Urvasi
In the stone statue of Kalidasa,
Made by sculptors,
She put a garland
Rithu Devathayaay Nritham Vechuu
Munikanyakayay Poojichuu
Himagiri Puthriyaay Thapassirunnuu Aval
Swayamvarappanthalil Orungi Ninnuu
She danced as the goddess of seasons
She worshiped as a hermit girl
She did tapas as the daughter of Hima Giri (Himavan)
& She came prepared in the Swayamvara Pandal
Ujjayiniyile Gaayikaa
Urvvashiyennoru Maalavika
Shilpikal Theertha Kaalidaasante
Kalprathimayil Maalayittu
A singer from Ujjain,
A Malavika named Urvasi
In the stone statue of Kalidasa,
Made by sculptors,
She put a garland
Aliyum Shilayude Kannu Thurannuu
Kalayum Kaalavum Kumbittuu
Avalude Manjeerashinjithathil Srishti-
Sthithiulayathalangalothungi Ninnuu
The melting statue opened its eyes
Art and time bowed before it
In the sound of her anklet
Even the rhythms of *Shrishti *Sthiti & *Layam
Stayed calm & quiet
Ujjayiniyile Gaayikaa
Urvvashiyennoru Maalavika
Shilpikal Theertha Kaalidaasante
Kalprathimayil Maalayittu
A singer from Ujjain,
A Malavika named Urvasi
In the stone statue of Kalidasa,
Made by sculptors,
She put a garland
Yugakalpanayude Kallinu Polum
Yuvagaayikayude Daahangal
Oru Punarjanmathin Chiraku Nalki Avar
Swayam Marannangane Parannuyarnnu
Even for the stone of creativity of yugas,
The intense desire of the (female) singer
Gave wings of reincarnation.
Forgotten themselves
Both rose to fly
Ujjayiniyile Gaayikaa
Urvvashiyennoru Maalavika
Shilpikal Theertha Kaalidaasante
Kalprathimayil Maalayittu
A singer from Ujjain,
A Malavika named Urvasi
In the stone statue of Kalidasa,
Made by sculptors,
She put a garland
*Shrishti *Sthiti & *Layam – Rhythms of universe (birth, growth, salvation)
