Vaalkannezhuthi Vanapushpam Choodi song from Picnic – Lyrics in English with Translation

Vaalkkannezhuthi Vanapushpam Choodi

Vaishaakha Raathriyorungum (F)

Writing kohl eyes & adorning wild flowers,

*Vaisakha night is getting ready

Mandasmithamaam Chandrika Choodee

Vanamallika Nee Orungum (M)

Adorning the smile of moonlight

You, the wild jasmine will get ready

Vaalkkannezhuthi Vanapushpam Choodi

Vaishaakha Raathriyorungum (M/F)

Writing kohl eyes & adorning wild flowers,

*Vaisakha night is getting ready

 

Mandaara Poovin Manamundu Parakkum

Maaleya Kulir Kaattil

In the snowy & chilled breeze

Which feeds the perfume of *Mandaram flower,

Mandaara Poovin Manamundu Parakkum

Maaleya Kulir Kaattil

In the snowy & chilled breeze

Which feeds the perfume of *Mandaram flower

Vandanamaala Than Nizhalil Neeyoru

Chandana Latha Pol Nilkkum (M)

In the shadow of greeting garland

U will stand like a sandalwood vine

Vaarmukil Vaathil Thurakkum

Vaarthinkal Ninnu Chirikkum (F)

Dark cloud will open door

& The moon will stand smiling

Vaalkkannezhuthi Vanapushpam Choodi

Vaishaakha Raathriyorungum (M/F)

Writing kohl eyes & adorning wild flowers,

*Vaisakha night is getting ready

 

Nin Paattiloorum Sringaara Madhuvum

Neehaaraardra Nilaavum

The romantic nectar oozing from your song

And the moonlight condensed with snow

Nin Paattiloorum Sringaara Madhuvum

Neehaaraardra Nilaavum

The romantic nectar oozing from your song

And the moonlight condensed with snow

Nammude Rajani Madakaramaakkum

Njaan Oru Malarkkodiyaakum(F)

Will make our night lustful

And I will turn a flower vine

Vaarmukil Vaathiladakkum

Vaarthinkal Naanichu nilkkum (M)

Dark cloud will open door

& The moon will stand blushing

Vaalkkannezhuthi Vanapushpam Choodi

Vaishaakha Raathriyorungum (F)

Writing kohl eyes & adorning wild flowers,

*Vaisakha night is getting ready

Mandasmithamaam Chandrika Choodee

Vanamallika Nee Orungum (M)

Adorning the smile of moonlight

You, the wild jasmine will get ready

Vaalkkannezhuthi Vanapushpam Choodi

Vaishaakha Raathriyorungum (M/F)

Writing kohl eyes & adorning wild flowers,

*Vaisakha night is getting ready

 

*Vaisakha – Full moon night of Vaisakhi month, which falls in the month of April-May

Movie, Picnic is the uncredited remake of Madhumati, cult classic Bollywood movie based on the theme of incarnation. I watched Malayalam version long before Bollywood version. So, at that time, I didn’t know it’s a remake of this classic film. Picnic is one of the biggest hits of Prem Nazir, also addressed as ‘Evergreen Hero of Malayalam’ (Nithya Haritha Nayakan). List of movies, connected to Madhumati. Read it here.

This song always gives me a glimpse of B’wood style of music of 1960s & 1970s. Picnic is one among the last works of A. R. Rahman’s father as a music conductor, before his demise. Music was a huge hit. An unsung hero – R. K. Shekhar
