Kaadaniyum Kalchilambe
Dr. K. J. Yesudas | K. S. Chithra • From “Pulimurugan”
What is the meaning of Kaadaniyum Kalchilambe Lyrics from Pulimurugan?
The poet describes a lover’s plea in the wild forest. He compares his beloved to a ripe jamun fruit and a forest myna bird, singing, ‘Won’t you come to me?’ The lyrics mix playful longing with vivid images of nature, like anklets echoing and red Kaanthari chilies shining.
Kaadaniyum KalchilambeOh, the echoing anklets that adorn the wild forest.
Kaanana MaineMy lovely forest Myna bird.
Kaattu Njaaval Kaa PazhutheYou’re like the ripened fruit of the wild Jamun tree.
Nee VarukilleWon’t you come to me?
Kanavu Nirache Njaan EnI’ve filled my soul with dreams.
Chiraku NanacheAnd I’ve drenched my wings in longing.
Kaliyil Oliche Njaanee KaadaakeI’ve hidden playfully throughout this entire forest.
Kaadaniyum KalchilambeOh, the echoing anklets that adorn the wild forest.
Kaanana MaineMy lovely forest Myna bird.
Kaattu Njaaval Kaa PazhutheYou’re like the ripened fruit of the wild Jamun tree.

Maanam Muttum Maamara KaadumIn this forest of massive trees that touch the sky.
Aarum Kaana Thazhvara ThodumBy the stream in the valley that no one has ever seen.
Kunnimani Yennathu Pole NjaanLike counting scattered ‘Kunnimani’ seeds,
Ammanam Aadidam PenneLet’s play and dance together, my girl.

Anthikethum Manjum ThanappumAnd the mist and chill that arrive at dusk.
Omanakal Kudilil Ivide KiliyeOur darlings are here in the hut, oh bird.
Kaanthari ChuvappalleIsn’t that the fiery red of the ‘Kaanthari’ chili?
Kaanthari ChiriyalleIsn’t that a sharp, spicy smile?
Munnilethi Pammi PathungumbamWhen you sneak up to the front and crouch down.

Kaaru Neeyum Aadi KaruppilYou and the rainclouds danced in deep black.

Then Eduthu Karalin IlayilYou gathered honey on the leaf of my heart.
Thannathalle Neeyen PonneDidn’t you give that to me, my dear gold?
Maariyamman Kovilil InneToday at the Maariyamman temple,
