William Francis • From “Udal”
Udal’s Mezhuthiripol Malayalam Lyrics English Translation
Bt Anilkumar’s words compare the beloved to a candle flame rising as a prayer within the heart. William Francis questions if this powerful love, like a golden wick, remained in life or faded into the night.
Mezhuthiripol IdanenjilLike a candle in my heart’s core,
Thozhuthuyarunnathu NeeIt’s you rising, like a prayer.
EriyukayaanathilullilBurning deep within it,
Njaanam TheeI’m the fire.
Nizhalizhapaakiya KannilIn eyes that once cast shadows,
Azhakukal Thannathu NeeIt was you who gifted beauty.
Avayil Anashvararaay NaamWithin them, we were immortal,
AriyaatheWithout us even knowing.
Pon Thirinaalam PolennoLike a golden wick’s flame, I wonder when,
Prananil NinnuvoDid it remain in my life,
Raavil PolinjuvoOr did it fade into the night?
DooreFar, far away.
Irulile Nishaada NeethikalThe cruel rules of the darkness,
Udalile Porul ThiranjSearching for meaning within this body,
Sheetha Rathriyil Udanju Poy NeeYou shattered in that cold night.
Nithaantha Ragame Varoo Nee ThirikeOh, eternal melody, please come back,
ArikeCome near to me.
