Sookshmadarshini Movie’s Dhurooha (Durooha) Manthahasame Lyrics Translated in English
Durooha Mandahaasame
O’ dark, mysterious smile
Durooha Mandahaasame
O’ secret grin, so sly and vile
Chikanju Nokkiyal Tirinja Saarame
O’ truth that’s seen when searched so deep
Tirinja Saarame Mudinja Bhaarame
O’ truth, that’s too heavy for the heart to keep
Aparathe Nisara Rekhe
O’ grand enormity, O’ trivial line, A world of meaning in a curve so fine
Durooha Mandahaasame
O’ dark, mysterious smile
Neerate Churuli, Niyo Kannil Karuthi
An endless spiral maze, held deep within your gaze
Koora Koorirulil, Neelae Njaanum Parathi
All through the deep, dark night, I kept searching with all my might.
Shankaleele Shankaleele Leele
O’ play of doubts, so sly and slight
Shandhahetu Nidrahari Vele
O’ cause of endless fights, that creates sleepless nights
Antharalam Manthralokam Mookam
Secrets whispered all around.
Mandahaasathanthralokam Lokam
Scheming smiles across the world abound.
Shankaleele Shankaleele Leele
O’ play of doubts, so sly and slight
Shandhahetu Nidrahari Vele
O’ cause of endless fights, that creates sleepless nights
Antharalam Manthralokam Mookam
Secrets whispered all around.
Mandahaasathanthralokam Lokam
Scheming smiles across the world abound.
Theera Paathira
An endless night,
Thedum Pakale Pakale
Searching for the day,
Maaraa Yavanika
The unchanging world,
Maare Theliyum Porule
Slowly reveals its true nature.
Shankaleele Shankaleele Leele
O’ play of doubts, so sly and slight
Antharalam Manthralokam Mookam
O’ cause of endless fights, that creates sleepless nights
Mandahaasathanthralokam Lokam
Secrets whispered all around.
Anthassaram Anthassaram Shoonyam
Scheming smiles across the world abound.
