Suresh Ramanthali describes a journey through forests and rivers, with the line ‘A little bell’s chiming on the celestial heights’ evoking a sense of tranquility. The poet uses natural imagery to create a dreamlike atmosphere, where the listener drifts into a peaceful slumber.
Kaadum Kaattaarum KadannuvannuWe’ve journeyed through forests and rushing rivers.
Maanathe Mettile ManikkoorunnuA little bell’s chiming on the celestial heights.
Kaadum Kaattaarum KadannuvannuHaving crossed the woods and the wild streams,
Maanathe Mettile ManikkoorunnuA tiny bell’s ringing on the heavenly hills.
Mohikkum Kathakal KettuListening to those enchanting tales,
Mohikkum Kathakal KettuHearing the stories that captivate the soul.
Kanavum Kandu UrangiyalloWe’ve finally drifted off while dreaming.
Doore Kanavilaay Kaana KadavilaayFar away in a dream, at a hidden harbor,
Pookkaatha Veyilchilla PookkumbolWhen the barren branch of sunlight starts to bloom.
Doore Kanavilaay Kaana KadavilaayDistant in our dreams, on an unseen shore,
Pookkaatha Veyilchilla PookkumbolWhen the sun’s unflowered branch begins to blossom.
Koottinnaayi Njanum KoodepporaalloI’ll come along to keep you company,
Koottinnaayi Njanum KoodepporaalloI’ll walk beside you as your companion.
Thottu Thottu Nammal ParanjaaloWhat if we whisper while staying so close?
Maanathe Mettile ManikkoorunnuA little bell’s chiming on the celestial heights.
Thaaram Maranja Ravum Thengum ManasumaayOn a starless night with an aching heart,
Padaatha Kili Melle PadumbolWhen the silent bird begins to sing softly.
Thaaram Maranja Ravum Thengum ManasumaayThrough the dark night and a sobbing soul,
Padaatha Kili Melle PadumbolWhen the bird that never sang starts its tune.
Chaarathaay Njanum Mookamaay NinnuI stood right beside you in total silence,
Chaarathaay Njanum Mookamaay NinnuI remained quietly by your side.
Melle Melle Ninnil AlinjaaloWhat if I slowly dissolve into your being?
Kaadum Kaattaarum KadannuvannuWe’ve journeyed through forests and rushing rivers.
Maanathe Mettile ManikkoorunnuA little bell’s chiming on the celestial heights.
Kaadum Kaattaarum KadannuvannuHaving crossed the woods and the wild streams,
Maanathe Mettile ManikkoorunnuA tiny bell’s ringing on the heavenly hills.
Mohikkum Kathakal Kettu KettuHaving heard those captivating tales repeatedly,
Mohikkum Kathakal KettuListening to the stories we’ve longed for.
Kanavum Kandu UrangiyalloWe’ve finally drifted off while dreaming.
