Charles Enterprises’s Kuttanadan Kattu Chodikkunnu Malayalam Lyrics English Translation

The poet mentions the wind of Kuttanad and the waves of Vattakkayal lake, asking if those who left will ever return. A standout line translates to, ‘How can you lose, my children? Aren’t you the boys of Karumadi who bathed in the mud?’ This imagery paints a vivid picture of resilience and identity rooted in the soil of home.

Kuttanadan Kattu ChodikkunnuThe wind of Kuttanad is asking.
Vattakkaayalthira ChodikkunnuThe waves of the Vattakkayal lake are asking.
Kevuvallangal ChodikkunnuThe cargo boats are asking.
Poyavaraarum Thirichu VarilleWill none of those who left ever return?
Poyavaraarum Thirichu VarilleWill none of those who left ever return?
Tholkkunnathengane MakkaleHow can you lose, my children?
Ningal Cheril Kulichavar KarumadikkuttanmaralleAren’t you the boys of Karumadi who bathed in the mud?
Tholkkunnathengane MakkaleHow can you lose, my children?
Ningal Cheril Kulichavar KarumadikkuttanmaralleAren’t you the boys of Karumadi who bathed in the mud?
Illa Marikkilla NingalNo, you won’t die.
Illa Marakkilla NjangalNo, we won’t forget.
Kuttanadan Kattu ChodikkunnuThe wind of Kuttanad is asking.
Vattakkaayalthira ChodikkunnuThe waves of the Vattakkayal lake are asking.
Kevuvallangal ChodikkunnuThe cargo boats are asking.
Poyavaraarum Thirichu VarilleWill none of those who left ever return?
Poyavaraarum Thirichu VarilleWill none of those who left ever return?
