Mazhacharum Idavazhiyil Lyrics Translation (from “Sameer”)
Vidyadharan Master describes growing weary from waiting yet finding purpose in memories. Sivaram’s words pledge to build monuments surpassing the Taj Mahal, even sending one’s soul to stay close.
Ravinte NeelakkadavilOn the night’s blue riverbank,
Nilavinte Kayal KadavilAt the moonlit backwater shore,
Kolusinte Thalamay VannooleDid you come as the rhythm of an anklet?
Mazhacharum IdavazhiyilIn the rain-drizzled alleyway,
Nizhalaadum KalppadavilOn the stone steps where shadows dance,
Cheruvalkkiliyude Thooval PolLike the feather of a little wagtail bird,
Ilam Nampu PolLike a tender sprout,
Kulirkkattu PoleLike a cool breeze,
Chare VannooleYou came close to me.
Ente Chare VannooleYou came right by my side.
Mazhacharum IdavazhiyilIn the rain-drizzled alleyway,
Nizhalaadum KalppadavilOn the stone steps where shadows dance,
Cheruvalkkiliyude Thooval PolLike the feather of a little wagtail bird,
Ilam Nampu PolLike a tender sprout,
Kulirkkattu PoleLike a cool breeze,
Chare VannooleYou came close to me.
Ente Chare VannooleYou came right by my side.
Meyyilathar Pooshiyanayum Ilaveyil ThumpeeOh dragonfly of soft sunlight, wearing ‘athar’ ‘perfume’ on your body,
Karal Nirayan Karyamere Cholluvan VempeeI’m eager to say so much to fill your heart.
Kadalivazha Kayyiladan CherumanikkuruveeOh little sparrow, swinging on the ‘kadali’ ‘sweet banana’ branch,
Khalbu Kuliran Kavyageetham NeeyenikkekiYou gave me a poetic song to soothe my ‘khalbu’ ‘heart’.
Ente Neelakashamake Nee ParannolooFly across the whole of my blue sky.
Ente Neelakashamake Nee ParannolooFly across the whole of my blue sky.
Ente Nenjil Chernnirikkan Paari VannolooCome flying to rest against my chest.
Mazhacharum IdavazhiyilIn the rain-drizzled alleyway,
Nizhalaadum KalppadavilOn the stone steps where shadows dance,
Cheruvalkkiliyude Thooval PolLike the feather of a little wagtail bird,
Ilam Nampu PolLike a tender sprout,
Kulirkkattu PoleLike a cool breeze,
Chare VannooleYou came close to me.
Ente Chare VannooleYou came right by my side.
Kathirunnu Kuzhanju Poyath Ninne OrththalleHaven’t I grown weary of waiting, just by thinking of you?
Kalamere Kazhinju Poyathum NeeyarinjilleDidn’t you realize how much time has passed?
Erenalay Njan Kothippu Nee VarukilleI’ve longed for so long, won’t you come?
Kannuneeril Thoniyunthi Njan ThalarnnilleHaven’t I grown exhausted, rowing a boat through my tears?
Njan Ninakk Taj Tholkkana Koodu VacholaamI’ll build you a nest that puts the Taj to shame.
Njan Ninakk Taj Tholkkana Koodu VacholaamI’ll build you a nest that puts the Taj to shame.
Ente Roohum Ninte Chare NjanayacholaamI’ll even send my ‘rooh’ ‘soul’ to be by your side.
