Aaramba Thenimba
Madhu Balakrishnan | Sreenath Sivasankaran • From “Mei Hoom Moosa”
Aaramba Thenimba Lyrics Translation (from “Mei Hoom Moosa”)
Madhu Balakrishnan and Sreenath Sivasankaran contrast earthly beauty with divine surrender. Lyrics compare a lover to ‘a flower in the passing cloud’ and ‘death-like arrival.’ The phrase ‘change me into heaven’ shifts focus from physical admiration to spiritual transformation.
Aaramba Thenimba Thoominnal ThullunneA drop of sweet honey, a pure flash of lightning, is dancing.
Marathoru Halathin PeelikkattazhiyunneIn my heart, a peacock’s feather of ‘hal’ (spiritual ecstasy) unfurls.
Aalakuda Meghakkuda Akasham NirayunneBanyan-sized umbrellas and cloud umbrellas fill the sky.
Jaram Muthananda Palvelli NilavoliyeOld age turns to bliss in this milky-white moonlight.
