The poet describes generations changing like seasons over Rajesh Murugesan’s melody, which sounds like sunlight breaking through monsoon clouds. Together, they create a musical invitation to embrace life’s constant motion.
Ithu Puthan Kalam
Rajesh Murugesan | Shabareesh Varma • From “Premam”
Varma drafts verses that turn smiles into survival tactics. ‘Don’t you ever forget to smile,’ he insists, pairing resilience with images of joy-chariots and blooming love. The composer backs this vision with music that swells like the first rain after summer, giving weight to every optimistic word.
Ithu Puthan Kalam Puthuputhan LokamThis is a new era, a brand-new world.
Generation Thorum Maarum PuthulokamA world that shifts with every generation’s turn.
Ithu Puthan Kalam Puthuputhan LokamIt’s a fresh season, a whole new world.
Generation Thorum Maarum PuthulokamA world that evolves as each generation passes.
Ee Lokathil Thirakkeri OdumbozhumWhile you’re racing through this hectic world,
Thirinjonnu NokkumbozhumAnd whenever you pause to look back,
Chirikkan Marakkalley NeeDon’t you ever forget to smile.
Ee Lokathil Marakkan PadikkumbozhumWhile you’re learning to let go in this world,
Sahikkan MadikkumbozhumAnd even when you’re tired of enduring it all,
Chirikkan Marakkalley NeePlease, don’t forget to keep on smiling.
Ee Mannil Aanum Pennum OnnikkumbolWhen a man and woman unite on this earth,
Santhosha Therileri ParakkumThey’ll soar away on a chariot of joy.
Ninnullil Premam Poothu ThudangumbolWhen love begins to bloom deep within you,
Ee Mannil Swaragalokam ThurakkumA heavenly realm will open up right here on earth.
Mohichathokkeyum Orumichhu NedanamWe’ve got to achieve all our dreams together,
Ee Kochu Jeevitham Premichhu TheerkkanamWe should spend this brief life just loving each other.
Ee Premam Poloru MayajalamThis magic that’s just like love itself,
Theerkkunnitha Itha EelokamIs what’s building this very world.
Ithu Puthan Kaalam Puthuputhan LokamThis is a new era, a brand-new world.
Generation Thorum Maarum PuthulokamA world that shifts with every generation’s turn.
Ithu Puthan Kaalam Puthuputhan LokamIt’s a fresh season, a whole new world.
Generation Thorum Maarum PuthulokamA world that evolves as each generation passes.
Ee Lokathil Thirakkeri OdumbozhumWhile you’re racing through this hectic world,
Thirinjonnu NokkumbozhumAnd whenever you pause to look back,
Chirikkan Marakkalley NeeDon’t you ever forget to smile.
Ee Lokathil Marakkan PadikkumbozhumWhile you’re learning to let go in this world,
Sahikkan MadikkumbozhumAnd even when you’re tired of enduring it all,
Chirikkan Marakkalley NeeNever forget to keep that smile on your face.
