Ariyaathoru JeevithamaaneLife’s an unknown journey, I’ve found.
Athil Avaloru ThaarakamaaneIn it, she’s a guiding star that’s profound.
Irulaayoru PaathayathaalumEven when the path’s shrouded in gloom,
Vettam Nee Thannille ChellakkiliDidn’t you light it up, my ‘dear bird’?
Neeyente KaadhalumaaneYou’re the love I’ve always known,
Neeyoru KaavalumaaneYou’re the guardian I call my own.
Chudu Viral Korthu Kaathil PathiyumboAs warm fingers lock and whispers fill my ear,
Konjalle Kollalle PonnumkiliDon’t tease or slay me, my ‘golden bird’ so dear.
Nee Poya Enakinnu AaruIf you leave, who’s left for me today?
Nee Thaana Enakinnu PaaruJust look, you’re the one in every way.
Vaa Moodi Mizhiyilu PaaruStay silent and look deep into my eyes,
Nee Thaana Enakinnu PaaruSee that you’re my only prize.
Nee Poya Enakinnu AaruIf you go, who’ll be my anchor today?
Nee Thaana Enakinnu PaaruLook closely, you’re the only one for me.
Vaa Moodi Mizhiyilu PaaruHush now, and gaze into my soul,
Nee Thaana Enakinnu PaaruYou’re the one who makes me whole.
Chembarathi Nalla ChembarathiHibiscus, oh lovely ‘hibiscus flower’,
Chandana Manam Avale ParathiShe spreads ‘sandalwood’ scent with such power.
Chenthaamarayum Cherum PennoruthiA girl as graceful as the ‘red lotus’ bloom,
Chenkavilorathu Chiri ParathiA smile on her ‘rosy cheeks’ dispels the gloom.
Chembarathi Nalla ChembarathiHibiscus, my beautiful ‘hibiscus flower’,
Nalla Penpirannolente PennoruthiThe finest woman born, she’s my soul’s bower.
Avalude Chiri Enteyullil ManjurukkiHer smile’s melted the ice I’ve long held inside,
Avalude Chiri Enne Melle MayakkiHer smile’s gently cast a spell I can’t hide.
Chembarathi Nalla ChembarathiHibiscus, oh radiant ‘hibiscus flower’,
Nalla Sundari Kothaval EnnilethiA beauty like her has arrived in my life,
Avalude Chiri Enteyullil ManjurukkiHer smile’s thawed the coldness in my heart,
Avalude Chiri Enne Melle MayakkiHer smile’s left me enchanted and apart.
Nee Poya Enakinnu AaruIf you depart, who’ll stand by me?
Nee Thaana Enakinnu PaaruLook at me, you’re my only destiny.
Vaa Moodi Mizhiyilu PaaruBe still and see yourself in my eyes,
Nee Thaana Enakinnu PaaruYou’re the treasure I’ll always prize.
Nee Poya Enakinnu AaruWithout you, I’ve got no one to hold,
Nee Thaana Enakinnu PaaruLook here, you’re more precious than gold.
Vaa Moodi Mizhiyilu PaaruKeep quiet and read what my gaze says,
Nee Thaana Enakinnu PaaruYou’re the one I’ll love all my days.
Chembarathi Nalla ChembarathiHibiscus, oh lovely ‘hibiscus flower’,
Chandana Manam Avale ParathiShe spreads ‘sandalwood’ scent with such power.
Chenthaamarayum Cherum PennoruthiA girl as graceful as the ‘red lotus’ bloom,
Chenkavilorathu Chiri ParathiA smile on her ‘rosy cheeks’ dispels the gloom.
