Devan Magalo Lyrics Translation K. J. Yesudas | Vani Jayaram | Kaattukkulle Thiruvizha

K. J. Yesudas asks if the woman is a “daughter of gods” or a “wandering goddess.” Vani Jayaram’s lines mirror this, querying if the man is a “son of gods” or the god of love. Vaali describes “honey drops falling on a lotus petal,” a taste creating indescribable pleasure. This highlights pure, intense nascent love.

Devan Magalo MalaroIs she a daughter of the gods, or a flower?
Ulavum DevathaiA wandering goddess?
Pournami IravilOn this full moon night,
Innalil Bavani VanthaloDid she come in procession today?
Devan Magano MadhanoIs he a son of the gods, or ‘Madhan’ the god of love?
Thazhuvum KadhalanAn embracing lover?
Pournami IravilOn this full moon night,
Sangeetham Pada VanthanoDid he come to sing a song?
Athiyum Anthamum Poomagal MeniyilFrom beginning to end, on the flower-maiden’s body,
Santhosha Vellangal OdaWaves of joy run through.
Adaiyil Vanavil Medaiyil AduthoDid a rainbow dance on the stage of her attire,
Anantha Ragangal PadaTo sing melodies of bliss?
Thamaraiyin Idhazh MeethuOn the lotus’ petal,
Then Thuligal Vizhum PothuWhen honey drops fall,
Suvaithal Sugam Than Yetho YethoThe pleasure of tasting it is truly something indescribable.

Ayiram Deepangal Ettriya RathiriIt’s a night lit by a thousand lamps,
Anaigal Ambari ThangaWith elephants bearing the ‘Ambari’ royal seat on their backs.
Rajanum Raniyum Oorvalam PoivaraAs the king and queen proceed in a procession,
Ven Megam Panneerai ThoovaWhite clouds sprinkle ‘panneer’ or rosewater.
Asaigalai Vizhi PesaAs their eyes speak their desires,
Jadaigalin Mozhi PesaAnd their gestures speak a silent language,
Thodangum Thodarum Kadhal YagamThis is a ‘Kadhal Yaagam’ or sacred fire of love that begins and continues.
