Kallanum Bhagavathiyum’s Nanmayulla Nadu Lyrics Translation

The verses give human qualities to the surroundings. A temple is home to a Goddess adorned with a sword and anklets. Later, the lyrics depict tall palm trees holding canopies like umbrellas over the long country roads.

Nanmayulla Naadu Kallamillaa NaaduA land of goodness, a land without lies.
Aa NaadinnanuminnumThat land, to this very day,
Enthu Bhangi Enthoru BhangiHow beautiful it is, what splendor it holds.
KumbhakkaliyunduThere are Kumbhakali dances,
Kanyaar KaliyunduAnd there are Kanyaar Kali plays.
EngumillaakkaazhchayennumSights you won’t find anywhere else,
Kaathu Vaykkana NaaduAre cherished and preserved in this land.
Aa NaadinnanuminnumThat land, to this very day,
Enthu Bhangi Enthoru BhangiHow beautiful it is, what splendor it holds.
Vaalaninju ChilambaninjuAdorned with a sword and anklets,
Devi Vaazhana KovilunduThere’s a temple where the Goddess resides.
Palliyundu MasjidunduThere are churches and there are mosques,
AmbalakkulangalunduAnd there are sacred temple ponds.
Nellolakkathiraadi Nikkana PunchappaadamunduThere are green paddy fields swaying with grain.
Aa NaadinnanuminnumThat land, to this very day,
Enthu Bhangi Enthoru BhangiHow beautiful it is, what splendor it holds.
Karimbana Kuda PidiykkanaWhere tall palm trees hold their canopies like umbrellas,
Neenda Naattu VazhikalunduThere are long, winding country roads.
ManjaninjamalayumunduThere are mountains veiled in mist,
Kolussu Chaarthiya PuzhayumunduAnd a river that wears shimmering anklets.
Thottam Paattukal PaadiSinging the sacred songs of the groves,
Chuttana Naattu KaattumunduA country wind wanders all around.
Aa NaadinnanuminnumThat land, to this very day,
Enthu Bhangi Enthoru BhangiHow beautiful it is, what splendor it holds.
