Pariwar’s Aakasham Ariyathe Lyrics Translation
The verses look to the past for comfort. One part describes a search for childhood by following old footprints in the courtyard sand. Another line speaks of seeking relationships that provide joy, even when mixed with sorrow and conflict.
Aakasham AriyatheUnbeknownst to the sky
Neermukilum Mazhayum MaariThe rainclouds and the showers have passed
Aaramam KothiyodeThe garden, with a deep yearning
Poonthalirum Malarum ChoodiAdorns itself in new leaves and flowers
Chundoram PookkunnilleIsn’t that forgotten verse of love
Pandu Nammal Paathiyilwe left unfinished long ago
Marannora Snehapallavinow blooming upon our lips?
Doore Thaaraa Mettil NinnumFrom a distant, starry hill
Vaathsalyam Neettunnu Aarosomeone reaches out with affection
Poonkuyilukal MoolumWhere the cuckoo birds softly hum
Thenmaavil Oru Kaliyoonjaaland a swing hangs from the sweet mango tree
Aavolam AayathilWhen we feel the longing to swing
Veendum Aadaan Thonnumbolwith abandon once again
Thodimanal Tharikale Vakayave KaanumTracing over the grains of sand
Kaalppaadilkkoodiand through the footprints in the courtyard
Baalyathe Naam Thedumbolis how we go searching for our childhood
Doore Thaaraa Mettil NinnumFrom a distant, starry hill
Vaathsalyam Neettunnu Aarosomeone reaches out with affection
Novidavazhi ThaandiHaving crossed over paths of pain
Ulchoolil Swayamurukumpoland melted in our own inner fire
