Pravinkoodu Shapp’s Kedathe Lyrics Translation

The song describes a love that is pure, or ‘untouched by termites,’ but also hidden from view. It then addresses a person with a smile that ‘drips honey’ while also having a wound that will not heal. This figure is called a secret that casts a shadow.

Nullaal NullaalIt’s all you, it’s all you
Kinav KaanalI’m seeing a dream
Ninnal VannavalShe’s the one who came through you
Vannal VannalWhen she comes, when she comes
Pollale PollalIt’s a searing pain
Nerale ThannavalShe’s the one who gave what is real
Chethal Thodatha KathalA love that termites haven’t touched
Maranja KavalA guard who stays concealed
Vidatha Cheru ViralA small finger that won’t let go
Nilav Varatha PravinkooduA dovecote where the moonlight never comes
Karaala KoorirulA terrifying, deep darkness
Kedathe KedatheDon’t go out, don’t go out
Cherathe IruleleriyBurn on in the darkness
Kedathe KedatheDon’t go out, don’t go out
Cherathe IruleleriyBurn on in the darkness
MalaraleOh, flower
Malarale Poonkula NeeraleOh, flower, with the soul of a fresh blossom
Chiriyale MadhuvoorumThe one whose smile drips honey
MurivarathavaleThe one with a wound that won’t heal
Nizhal Pakiya SwakaryameOh, my secret that has cast its shadow
Kathak Chariya VikarameOh, my feeling behind a closing door
Velivulla ThaleThis forehead full of light
Karayunna MuthaleThis weeping pearl
Kalavinte KaleThis art of the lie
Kavilile KalayeThis dark spot on your cheek
Kedathe KedatheDon’t go out, don’t go out
Cherathe IruleleriyBurn on in the darkness
Kedathe KedatheDon’t go out, don’t go out
Cherathe IruleleriyBurn on in the darkness

The song returns to the plea ‘Kedathe’ as a persistent chant. The verses add details of a pure but secret love for a person who is both sweet and wounded. The meaning of the ‘Kedathe’ lyrics comes from this desperate effort to preserve a feeling in isolation.
