Enpathukalile Ebhyanmaar’s Kanavukal Malayalam Lyrics English Translation
Shaji Yusuf describes dreams as dark shadows that turn into burning embers in the eyes. Vijay Yesudas sings of a night watch that turns into a rain of tears.
Kanavukal Karinizhal PoleDreams are like dark shadows,
Kanmizhiyil KanalukalaayiThey’ve become burning embers in my eyes.
Kaathangal Thaandum YaamamThe night watch that crosses endless miles,
Kanneer MazhayaayTurns into a rain of tears.
Kanavukal Karinizhal PoleDreams are like dark shadows,
Kanmizhiyil KanalukalaayiThey’ve become burning embers in my eyes.
Kaathangal Thaandum YaamamThe night watch that crosses endless miles,
Kanneer MazhayaayTurns into a rain of tears.
Pularvailin Puthumakal ThedaanTo seek the wonders of the morning sun,
Poonkaattin Puthumanam NukaraanTo breathe in the breeze’s fresh scent.
Puthumayaay Pulakamaay Maarumo Ee VazhidooramWill this long road turn into a new thrill?
AaaAaa
Kanavukal Karinizhal PoleDreams are like dark shadows,
Kanmizhiyil KanalukalaayiThey’ve become burning embers in my eyes.
Kaathangal Thaandum YaamamThe night watch that crosses endless miles,
Kanneer MazhayaayTurns into a rain of tears.
Nimishangal Neerimaayunna Neramee PularivelayilIn this morning hour when moments fade like mist,
Ariyaathe Vannu Cherunna Sneha Poonthen KanangalaayLike drops of love’s sweet nectar arriving unawares.
Irumey Chernnurangunna Aadyaraavinte ThaalavumThe rhythm of that first night when two souls rested as one,
Kulirunna Pularikalkkinnu Puthuvasanthathin PuthumayumA new spring’s freshness for these chilling dawns.
Pranayaardramaakunna Neram Parilaalanathinte ThaalamThe rhythm of a soft caress as love fills the air,
Sukhalayanam Padarum NimishamThe moment when blissful surrender spreads.
Kanavukal Karinizhal PoleDreams are like dark shadows,
Kanmizhiyil KanalukalaayiThey’ve become burning embers in my eyes.
Kaathangal Thaandum YaamamThe night watch that crosses endless miles,
Kanneer MazhayaayTurns into a rain of tears.
Unarunna Pularikalkkinnu Puthusugandhathin PuthumayaayA fresh new fragrance for the dawns that wake,
Anayunna Nimishaminnennil Alinju Cherunna SukrithamaayA blessing melting into me as the moment nears.
Ariyaathe Vannu Cherunnoranubhavathinte AazhavumThe depth of an experience that found its way to me,
Akathaaril Vannu Chernnulloranugrahathinte NombaramThe ache of a grace that’s settled in my heart.
Vidacholli Maarunna Yaamam Alathalli Mariyunna PoleLike a crashing wave as the night watch fades away,
Sukhayaamam Viriyumee PulariyilA blissful hour’s blooming in this dawn.
Kanmizhiyil KanalukalaayiBurning embers smolder in my eyes,
Kaathangal Thaandum YaamamThe night watch that crosses endless miles,
Kanneer MazhayaayTurns into a rain of tears.
Pularvailin Puthumakal ThedaanTo seek the wonders of the morning sun,
Poonkaattin Puthumanam NukaraanTo breathe in the breeze’s fresh scent.
Puthumayaay Pulakamaay Maarumo Ee VazhidooramWill this long road turn into a new thrill?
AaaaAaaa
Kanavukal Karinizhal PoleDreams are like dark shadows,
Kanmizhiyil KanalukalaayiThey’ve become burning embers in my eyes.
Kaathangal Thaandum YaamamThe night watch that crosses endless miles,
Kanneer MazhayaayTurns into a rain of tears.
