Chembattu Lyrics Meaning Gopika G Krishnan | Syam Prasad | Vedikkettu
Syam Prasad asks the red‑clad goddess to descend to her temple and guard the land. Vipin Jefrin mentions that she should wield her sword to sweep away evil and replace sorrow with happiness.
Chempattaninjamma ChempakappoomaraMother dressed in ‘red silk’, you dwell in the Champak flower tree.
Kovilananju Nee Naadu VaazhaCome to your temple and rule over this land.
Nerintey Kaavalaay Vaalenthum KaikalaalAs the guardian of truth, with a sword in your hands,
Doshangal Neekki Nee Naadu KaakkuClear away all evils and protect the land.
Valyaalin Thunchathu KudikollunnekshiyumThe ‘Yakshi’ spirit who resides at the top of the great banyan tree,
Kaaverum Naagathaanmaarum ThunaAnd the ‘serpent gods’ of the sacred groves are our guides.
Kali Thullum Kovalakkoduvaalin ThumbathumAt the tip of the curved sword where the ‘divine frenzy’ of Kali dances,
Adiyangal Naavilum Vaazhaathe NeeWon’t you also come to live upon the tongues of your humble servants?
Kanneraa Doshangal Theerthama KaakkaneyProtect us like holy water from the effects of the ‘evil eye’.
Thirayaadum Kaavil Nee VilayaadaneCome and grace the sacred grove where the ‘ritual dances’ unfold.
Chempattaninjamma ChempakappoomaraMother dressed in ‘red silk’, you dwell in the Champak flower tree.
Kovilananju Nee Naadu VaazhCome to your temple and rule over this land.
Ee Vazhiyee Neram Thudikottum PaattumaayiAt this hour, we walk this path with songs and the beat of the ‘Thudi’ drum.
Sannidhi Cherunnee Kovil MunnilWe’ve arrived at your presence, right before the temple.
Kizhiketti Maarapil JeevithaveshangalCarrying our life’s burdens like ‘tied bundles’ upon our chests,
Aadunnee Thirumunpil KanthurakkuWe perform before you; please open your eyes and see us.
Santhaapam Matti Nee SandoshamettaneTake away our sorrows and bring us more happiness.
Paapamen Naavil Nee ShreeyaavaneInstead of sin, let prosperity and wisdom dwell upon my tongue.
Chempattaninjamma ChempakappoomaraMother dressed in ‘red silk’, you dwell in the Champak flower tree.
Kovilananju Nee Naadu VaazhCome to your temple and rule over this land.
Nerintey Kaavalaayi Vaalenthum KaikalaalAs the guardian of truth, with a sword in your hands,
Doshangal Neekki Nee Naadu KaakkuClear away all evils and protect the land.
Doshangal Neekki Nee Naadu KaakkuClear away all evils and protect the land.
