Kathu Paattu
Raaza Razak • From “The Indie Radar”
Kathu Paattu Lyrics Translation – The Indie Radar Soundtrack
Mm Hamsa Muvattupuzha parallels emotional vulnerability with ‘opening the door of the heart, she threw a song.’ A later verse compares closeness to ‘a speck of dust that fell in the eye,’ framing intimacy as both constant and unnoticed.
Kathu Pattu Padi NadannuShe walked around singing songs of waiting.
Kattumulla ChottilirunnuShe sat beneath the wild jasmine bush.
Kannukondu Kalam VarachuShe drew patterns on the ground with her eyes,
KathirunnolShe’s the one who waited.
Kandu Theertha Kinavum KorthuShe’s stringing together the dreams she once had,
Pandu Padiya Pattum CherthuAnd adding in the songs she used to sing.
Khalbinullile Kathak ThurannuShe’s opened the door to her heart,
PatterinjolAnd she’s offered up a song.
Thottu Thottu Irunna BenchilOn the bench where we sat side-by-side,
Kothuku Pole MelinjirunnuShe sat there, looking as thin as a mosquito.
Kannil Veena Karadu Pole ChernnirunnolShe stayed as close as a speck of dust that’s fallen in the eye.
Kathu Pattu Padi NadannuShe walked around singing songs of waiting.
Kattumulla ChottilirunnuShe sat beneath the wild jasmine bush.
Kannukondu Kalam VarachuShe drew patterns on the ground with her eyes,
KathirunnolShe’s the one who waited.
