Kattin Kayyil Lyrics Translation Prasanth Mohan M P | Sithara Krishnakumar | Kla Kla Klee Klee Nazriya Thirinjunookki
The poet fills every line with village instruments like para drum and nadaswaram pipe. He invites you to dance inside the wind’s hand while the lost friend line, ‘You left without taking me,’ still tugs.
Kaattin Kayyil Thaalolamaay AadaamLet’s dance, cradled gently in the hands of the wind.
Pullaankuzhal Paattumaayi AadipaadidaamWe can sing and dance to the song of the ‘pullaankuzhal’ flute.
Kaadum Medum KarakaviyanoraarumThe forest and the hills are all melting into one,
Parakottum Thudi Kottum Shinkari Melamwith the ‘para’ and ‘thudi’ drums beating in a ‘shinkari melam’ rhythm.
Chendamelam NaadaswaravumThere’s the ‘chendamelam’ percussion and the ‘nadaswaram’ pipe,
Chaadithullanaay Band Melama band’s melody that makes you want to leap and dance.
Theeram Thedi Neengum OlamThe waves are moving, searching for the shore,
Koode Koottaathe Poyille Neebut you left without taking me with you, didn’t you?
Aambal Pookkana Neram Vanne Koode Koottaam ChangaayiHey friend, when the ‘aambal’ water lilies bloom, I’ll come and take you with me.
Raakkili Paadana Kuliraniyana RaavilOn a cool night when the ‘raakkili’ nightbird sings,
Theekkanal Choodil Nrithamaadidaamwe can dance in the warmth of the embers.
Raavinte Koottinaay Minnaaminni MinnanaThe fireflies are twinkling, like companions for the night,
Thaalam Kotti Aattam Aadi Koode Chernidaamso let’s clap to the rhythm, dance our dance, and join in together.
Clacla Cleeclee Eenam MooliHumming a sweet and simple tune,
Poonilaavathe Raappaadikalthe nightingales sing in the soft moonlight.
Neelamegham NadanamaadiThe deep blue clouds performed their own dance,
Kannu Chimmaathe Ponnambiliwhile the golden moon watched without even blinking.
Poomaram Pookkana NeramaayiIt’s now time for the flowering trees to blossom.
Chaamaram Veeshuvan KaatuvannuThe wind has arrived, fanning a royal ‘chaamaram’ whisk.
Mannilum Vinnilum AaghoshamaayThere’s a grand celebration on earth and in the sky.
Koottare Koode VarooMy friends, come and join us too.
Raakkili Paadana Kuliraniyana RaavilOn a refreshing night as the ‘raakkili’ nightbird is singing,
Theekkanal Choodil Nrithamaadidaamlet’s all dance together in the warmth of the embers.
Raavinte Koottinaay Minnaaminni MinnanaAs fireflies glitter, becoming companions for the night,
Thaalam Kotti Aattam Aadi Koode Chernidaamwe’ll clap to the beat, dance freely, and all become one.
Kaattin Kayyil Thaalolamaay AadaamCome on, let’s sway, cradled softly in the hands of the wind.
Pullaankuzhal Paattumaayi AadipaadidaamWe’ll sing and we’ll dance to the music of the ‘pullaankuzhal’ flute.
Kaadum Medum KarakaviyanoraarumEven the forests and the hills are dissolving into one,
Parakottum Thudi Kottum Shinkari Melamwith the ‘para’ drum pounding and the ‘thudi’ drum tapping a ‘shinkari melam’ beat.
Chendamelam NaadaswaravumThe sound of the ‘chendamelam’ and the ‘nadaswaram’ fills the air,
Chaadithullanaay Band Melama band’s rhythm that makes you leap with pure joy.
Theeram Thedi Neengum OlamLike a restless wave that keeps searching for the shore,
Koode Koottaathe Poyille Neewhy did you have to leave without taking me along?
Aambal Pookkana Neram Vanne Koode Koottaam ChangaayiMy dear friend, when it’s time for the ‘aambal’ water lilies to bloom, I’ll come to get you.
Raakkili Paadana Kuliraniyana RaavilOn such a cool night, with the ‘raakkili’ nightbird’s song all around,
Theekkanal Choodil Nrithamaadidaamwe can finally dance together in the warmth of the fire’s embers.
Raavinte Koottinaay Minnaaminni MinnanaAnd the fireflies will be twinkling, our companions for the night,
Thaalam Kotti Aattam Aadi Koode Chernidaamso let’s clap the rhythm, dance our dance, and finally join as one.
