Ente Priyathamanu’s Ente Manassilum Ninte Manassilum Lyrics Translation

The lyrics later ask for the scent of the ‘Velippoovin,’ or fence flower. This fragrance is intended “to write upon your blue, languid eyes.” The song connects the sense of smell directly to an act of physical adornment and sight.

Ente Manassilum Ninte ManassilumIn my mind and in your mind

Ezhilam Paala PoovanamThere’s a garden of the seven-leaved ‘Paala’ tree

Ente Nabhassilum Ninte NabhassilumIn my sky and in your sky

Ezhilam Paala PoomanamThere’s the fragrance of the seven-leaved ‘Paala’ flower

Ozhukum Ozhukum PoomanamA fragrance that drifts and flows

Thazhukum Thazhukum PoomanamA fragrance that gently caresses

Ente Manassilum Ninte ManassilumIn my mind and in your mind

Ezhilam Paala PoovanamThere’s a garden of the seven-leaved ‘Paala’ tree

Maalakorkkum ManamevideWhere is the mind that weaves garlands?

Poomaalakorkkum VanamevideWhere is the forest that weaves floral garlands?

Sheetha Sameerana SumasharananiyaanTo be adorned by the flower-arrows of the cool breeze

Neelakkaavin MalarevideWhere is the flower from the blue sacred grove?

Paalakkaavin MalarevideWhere is the flower from the ‘Paala’ sacred grove?

Ente Manassilum Ninte ManassilumIn my mind and in your mind

Ezhilam Paala PoovanamThere’s a garden of the seven-leaved ‘Paala’ tree

Vaaka Theerkkum VazhiyithileAlong this path created by the ‘Vaaka’ trees

Poovaaka Theerkkum VazhiyithileThrough this lane adorned with ‘Vaaka’ blossoms

Neela Madaalasa MizhikalilezhuthaanTo write upon your blue, languid eyes

Velippoovin ManamivideThe scent of the fence flower is here

Paalappoovin ManamivideThe scent of the ‘Paala’ flower is here

Ente Manassilum Ninte ManassilumIn my mind and in your mind

Ezhilam Paala PoovanamThere’s a garden of the seven-leaved ‘Paala’ tree

Ente Nabhassilum Ninte NabhassilumIn my sky and in your sky

Ezhilam Paala PoomanamThere’s the fragrance of the seven-leaved ‘Paala’ flower

Ozhukum Ozhukum PoomanamA fragrance that drifts and flows

Thazhukum Thazhukum PoomanamA fragrance that gently caresses

Ente Manassilum Ninte ManassilumIn my mind and in your mind

Ezhilam Paala PoovanamThere’s a garden of the seven-leaved ‘Paala’ tree
