China Town (2011) Movie’s Innu Penninu Lyrics [English Translation]
Innu Penninu Sindoora Nalu
Today is her wedding day.
Manassellam Vilampunna Nalu
The day her dreams come true.
Chamanjellarum Cherunna Nalu
The day when everyone gathers.
Niranjullasa Poovinte Ullake Thulli Thulli
She gets happy today.
Kanninu Mayyedu Minnedu Ponnedu Cheppedu Chinkari
What happened to you, sweet little one?
Vattoru Muramedu Atharu Nurayanu Puthan Kodiyudu
We will shower you with gifts very soon.
Manamothoru Kuravayathethi Muzhakkande
Shouldn’t there be music too?
Ariya Mruduvelayil Hrudayamunarunnitha
In the glorious moment, the heart awakens.
Innu Penninu Sindoora Nalu
Today is her wedding day.
Manassellam Vilampunna Nalu
The day her dreams come true.
Chamanjellarum Cherunna Nalu
The day when everyone gathers.
Niranjullasa Poovinte Ullake Thulli Thulli
She gets happy today.
Manchadi Konnathengo Mayiladum Nerathallo
On top of a hill,
Manavatti Pennin Nanam Choriyan
When a peacock dances, the bride smiles.
Thiri Thazhum Meghakkoottil Viraladum Kattin Chundil
Amidst the clouds at dusk, along with the wind,
Karukappoo Vayalile Kuliru
She felt a chill.
Oru Nooru Kanavin Lalanam Anuraga Melanam
The bliss of 100 dreams and the sweetness of love.
Ozhukatha Nanavin Olamay Ardra Nomparam
An unfulfilled wish like a fake tide.
Moha Mandaram Thane Poovittu Mazha Puranda Manathu Thane Chalittu
The dreams sprouted, and it all began to rain.
Azhithirayil Sandramaliyum Ragatheeratharo Eenam Meettunnu
And it merged along with a random tune.
Madhuram Hrudayamunarunnitha Harithamanayunnitha
It is sweet.
Hrudayamunarunnitha Harithamanayunnitha
The heart awakens, and it becomes enriched.
Innu Penninu Sindoora Nalu
Today is her wedding day.
Manassellam Vilampunna Nalu
The day her dreams come true.
Chamanjellarum Cherunna Nalu
The day when everyone gathers.
Niranjullasa Poovinte Ullake Thulli Thulli
She gets happy today.
Ennoram Swapnam Kaanam Chenthaara Chantham Kaanam
We shall dream and hope.
Sindhooram Thudikkunna Mukilee
Oh, sweet cloud.
Nenjoraam Chayaamallo Sanjaaram Onnichallo
In this moment of rain-soaked dreams,
Nin Chaare Thanjikkonjum Nizhalee
come, holding an umbrella.
Mazha Chaanju Kiniyum Velayil
Like a colorful rainbow that cannot be hidden,
Kuda Neernnu Nee Varoo
come, filled with vibrant hues.
Marayaatha Mazhavil Jaalamaay Niramarnnu Nee Varoo
Simple conversations bring joy,
Verum Sallaapam Nedum Santhosham
The heart finds music in every blooming season.
Manamiyanna Sangeetham Oroo Pookaalaam
Deep emotions blend with the ocean waves,
Aazhithirayil Saandramaliyum Raaga Theerathaaro Eenam Meetunnu
Someone strums a melody on the shores of passion.
Madhuram Hridayamunarunnithaa Harithamanyunnithaa
Sweetness, the heart awakens, adorned in green.
Hridayamunarunnithaa Harithamanyunnithaa
The heart awakens, adorned in green.
(Innu Penninu…)
(Today is the day of sindoor…)
