Thudarum Movie’s Kanmanipoove Lyrics {English Meaning}
Who is closing the temple next to the ‘Chembazhukka’ (a type of fruit tree)?
Chembaraththikambukondu Amp Kulakkanathaar
Whose arrow soars through the air?
Anguthotthe Ingu Thotthe Akkuthikkuthoduvaanaa
Brushing here, grazing there, the elephant trots around, full of play
Thoovelicham Chaariveena Maamane Njanonnu Kande
As light dances, I see the mountain rise to life
Chenthamizin Then Kudanje Poonguyil Paadunna Kette
A sweet song carried by the Tamil breeze, hear the little cuckoo sing its melody
Enthoru Chelaanu Nenchile Neranu
Oh, how lovely you are! A heart as pure as can be
Ente Kinaavaanu Enthinum Neeyaanu
My dream, my life, You are my everything
Kanmanippoove Kannaadippoove Kanippoove
O precious flower, like a mirror in bloom
Muttamithaake Poothu Ninnaatte
You bloom in joy across the courtyard’s light
Punchirikkaatte Paarum Poombaatte Kurunnaatte
Oh smiling breeze, fluttering butterfly, little one so sweet
Chakkaramaavil Chaanjirunnaatte
You lie nestled in the shade of the treacly mango tree
Kilippoomakale Neeyaliyum Poonthanalaanu
O little birdie, You are the tender shade that embraces me
Ilakkumbililaay Peythutharum Thenkudamaanu
Like honey dripping from a cupped leaf, You flow into me
Alivode Thodum Santhwanamaanu
Your touch woven with quiet solace
Ithile Vaa…. Ithile Vaa….
Come, come along. Come along this way
Kanavile Chirakumaay
With wings born of a dream
Pakalile Vazhikalil
To wander the sunlit paths
Veyilupol Alayuvaan
Like light drifting through the day
Kanmanippoove Kannaadippoove Kanippoove
O precious flower, like a mirror in bloom
Muttamithaake Poothu Ninnaatte
You bloom in joy across the courtyard’s light
Gamapapadhapa … Gamapapadhapa …
Gamapa Madhapapa
Sa Nisanidapa
Gamapapadhapa … Gamapapasapa …
Gamapa Padhamapa
[Classical music notes]
Muttathoru Konil Pachappanambaayil, Ishtakkurumbode Chernnikkaam
We can sit closely together with loving playfulness in a corner of the courtyard, on a green palm-leaf mat.
Muthukalamaane Thettipinangaathae, Muthumizhiyode Njaanirikkaam
My ‘muthukalaman’ (a term of endearment similar to ‘precious deer’), without any misunderstandings, I will be there with eyes shining bright like pearls.
Oru Dalaam Pole Iru Manam Cherum
Our two hearts will join together, like a single petal.
Manikkunjaolangal Mazhavillaay Maarum
The small, precious waves of our moments will transform into a rainbow.
Ima Chimmaavaanam Ithukande Nilkkum
The unblinking sky will stand and watch all of this.
Manikkutilin Chumarukalil Niram Kudanjonnu Chirikkum
And happiness will splash its colors and smile upon the walls of our precious little home.
Enthoru Chelaanu Nenchile Neranu
What remarkable beauty this is; it feels like the very truth within my heart.
Kanmanippoove Kannaadippoove Kanippoove
Oh, my precious flower, my mirror-like flower, my auspicious ‘kani’ flower.
Muttamithaake Poothu Ninnaatte
May you stand in full bloom across this entire courtyard.
Kilippoomakale Neeyaliyum Poonthanalaanu
Oh, my ‘kilippoomakal’, you are a gentle, flowery shade that offers solace.
Ilakkumbililaay Peythutharum Thenkudamaanu
You are like a pot of honey poured gently into a cupped leaf.
Alivode Thodum Santhwanamaanu
You are the comfort that touches one with deep affection.
Ithile Vaa …. Ithile Vaa ….
Come, come along. Come along this way
Kanavile Chirakumaay
With wings born of a dream
Pakalile Vazhikalil
To wander the sunlit paths
Veyilupol Alayuvaan
Like light drifting through the day
