Maanam Karuth Lyrics Meaning Bijibal | Swarna Malsyangal
Dr. G. S. Pradeep writes about a butterfly struggling against a storm. The lyricist describes, ‘Fly away, little butterfly, or your colorful wings’ll be torn and lost.’ The imagery of nature’s fury mirrors the fragility of life.
Maanam Karuthu Varunne Mazha Neerippidanju VarunneThe sky’s gathering dark clouds; the rain’s lashing down, writhing in the wind.
Paarimaarikko Poombaatte Ninte Varnnachirakattu PokumFly away, little butterfly, or your colorful wings’ll be torn and lost.
Ee Svarnnakkurikalum MaayumEven these golden markings’ll surely fade away.
Maanam Karuthu Varunne Mazha Neerippidanju VarunneThe sky’s turning heavy and dark; the rain’s pouring down with a restless fury.
Paarimaarikko Poombaatte Ninte Varnnachirakattu PokumSeek shelter, little butterfly, or your vibrant wings’ll be swept away.
Ee Svarnnakkurikalum MaayumThese golden spots’ll vanish into the gloom.
ChempakachodumozhinjeThe hollow beneath the ‘Champak’ tree stands deserted now.
Kaavil DeepangalokkeyananjeEvery lamp in the ‘Kaavu’ (sacred grove) has flickered out.
Padavarambil Neeykan KunjeYou’re left all alone on the ridge of the fields, little one.
Poomaram Kaattuthee Choodil KarinjeThe blooming tree’s charred in the wildfire’s blistering heat.
Padavarambil Neeykan KunjeYou’re standing solitary on the edge of the fields, little child.
Poomaram Kaattuthee Choodil KarinjeThe flowering tree’s been scorched by the forest fire’s breath.
