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 in a poetic way. Many of the songs released then were way ahead of time.
