Vaakapoo Maram Song from Anubhavam – Lyrics in English with Translation
Vaakapoo maram choodum varilam
Poonkulakkullil
Vadakaykkoru muriyeduthu vadakkan thennal
Pandoru vadakkan thennal
Inside a tender bunch of flowers,
Held by gulmohar tree,
Took a room for rent, a northern breeze
A long time back, a northern breeze
Vaakapoo maram choodum varilam
Poonkulakkullil
Vadakaykkoru muriyeduthu vadakkan thennal
Pandoru vadakkan thennal
Inside a tender bunch of flowers,
Held by gulmohar tree,
Took a room for rent, a northern breeze
A long time back, a northern breeze
Vaathilil vannethinokkiya
Vasanatha panchamippennin
Valakilukkam kettu koritharichu ninnu
Thennal tharichu ninnu
In the sound of bangles
Of Vasanta Panchami girl (5th moon of spring)
Who peeped through the door,
The northern wind stood in tingles
Vaathilil vannethinokkiya
Vasanatha panchamippennin
Valakilukkam kettu koritharichu ninnu
Thennal tharichu ninnu
In the sound of bangles
Of Vasanta Panchami girl (5th moon of spring)
Who peeped through the door,
The northern wind stood in tingles
Viral njodichu vilicha neram
Viral kadichaval arikil vannu
Vidhuvadhanayay vivashayayaval othungi ninnu
Naanam kunugi ninnu
The moment he snapped finger & called her
She bit her finger & came near
The moon-faced, helpless girl stood still
She stood shy.
Vaakapoo maram choodum varilam
Poonkulakkullil
Vadakaykkoru muriyeduthu vadakkan thennal
Pandoru vadakkan thennal
Inside a tender bunch of flowers,
Held by gulmohar tree,
Took a room for rent, a northern breeze
A long time back, a northern breeze
Tharala hridhaya vikaaralolan
Thennal avalude chodi mukarnnu
Thanuvani thalir shayyayil thanu thalarnnu veenu
Thammil punarnnu veenu
The tender-hearted, emotional
Northern wind kissed her lips
Their bodies fell exhausted –
Into the slim leaf bed
They fell in an embrace.
Tharala hridhaya vikaaralolan
Thennal avalude chodi mukarnnu
Thanuvani thalir shayyayil thanu thalarnnu veenu
Thammil punarnnu veenu
The tenderhearted, emotional
Northern wind kissed her lips
Their bodies fell exhausted –
Into the slim leaf bed
They fell in an embrace.
Pulari vannu vilicha neram
Avanunarnnonnavale nokki
Avaladuthillakaleyengo maranju poyi
Thennal parannu poyi
When rising morning called him up
He woke up and looked at her
She wasn’t around, she vanished afar
And the wind flew away
Vaakapoo maram choodum varilam
Poonkulakkullil
Vadakaykkoru muriyeduthu vadakkan thennal
Pandoru vadakkan thennal
Vadakkan thennal
Inside a tender bunch of flowers,
Held by gulmohar tree,
Took a room for rent, a northern breeze
A long time back, a northern breeze
Northern breeze
End note: Clearly a song of one-night stand written poetically. Many of the songs released then were way ahead of time.
