Bijibal | Shahabaz Aman • From “Vellam”
Akashamayavale Lyrics Translation – Vellam Soundtrack
Shahabaz Aman traces physical collapse in ‘Udalum Chernu Poy’ (the body worn away). Nidheesh Naderi compares a lover’s departure to the sky becoming unreachable, asking how many winds one must endure alone.
AkashamayavaleOh, you who transformed into the sky.
AkalepparannavaleYou who flew so far away.
Chirakayirunnallo NeeYou were my wings all along.
Ariyathe Poyannu NjanI didn’t realize it back then.
Nizhalo Maanjupoy Vazhiyum Marannupoy Thoratha RamazhayilThe shadow faded and the path was lost in the endless night rain.
Choodumanjupoy Paattum MurinjupoyThe warmth froze and the song broke off.
Njano ShoonyamayiAnd I’ve become nothing but a void.
Udalum Chernu Poy Uyirum PakuthupoyMy body has worn away and my soul has split in two.
Ullam Pinanju PoyiMy heart is entangled in pain.
Ottaykkirunnethra Kaattu NjanelkkannamSitting alone, how many winds must I endure?
Theera NovumayiWith this unending pain.
Ormmayilazhnnethra Kathangal NeenthanamHow many leagues must I swim, submerged in memories?
Neeyam TheerameranJust to reach the shore that is you.
Kadavo Irulundu Poy Padavil ThanichumayThe ferry landing has darkened, leaving me alone on the steps.
Ninavo Nee MathramayiMy thoughts are filled only with you.
Anthikkilikoottamonayi ParannupoyThe flock of evening birds has flown away together.
Vanam VimookamayiLeaving the forest silent and mute.
Ittu Nilaventte Nettimeൽ ThottathA drop of moonlight fell and touched my forehead.
Neeyo RaakkanavoWas it you, or just a dream of the night?
AkashamayavaleOh, you who transformed into the sky.
AkalepparannavaleYou who flew so far away.
Chirakayirunnallo NeeYou were my wings all along.
Ariyathe Poyannu NjanI didn’t realize it back then.
Nizhalo Maanjupoy Vazhiyum Marannupoy Thoratha RamazhayilThe shadow faded and the path was lost in the endless night rain.
Choodumanjupoy Paattum MurinjupoyThe warmth froze and the song broke off.
Njano ShoonyamayiAnd I’ve become nothing but a void.
