Vineeth Sreenivasan’s “Neeyen Panjamiravu” comes from the album Veluththa Madhuram. The lyrics by Vaishakh Sugunan and composition by Shaiju Pallikkunnu open with a description of a lover as “a mischief no one sees.” This establishes an intimate and private connection.
The verses describe the two lovers as a flower and honey with one mind, showing a complete union. Another line suggests affection’s transformative effect, stating a heart becomes a river in the rain. This points to a deep, evolving connection between them.
Neeyen Panchamiravu Aarum KaanaakkurumbuYou’re my full moon night, a mischief no one sees.
Paadoo Panchamaraagam Neeye KaanaakkuyileSing that five-note melody, you’re the unseen cuckoo.
Mazhayettu KarivalaththaalamaniyumWearing charcoal bangles that chime as the rain falls,
PuthupularoliyazhakeOh, you beauty of the new morning light.
Pathanjuppongana ThaalammelamA rhythm and melody bubbling over,
Orottamanamee Poovum ThenumThis flower and this honey are one single mind.
Udichu Thaarukalaayiramee JanmamA thousand stars have risen in this lifetime.
Neeyen Panchamiravu Aarum KaanaakkurumbuYou’re my full moon night, a mischief no one sees.
Paadoo Panchamaraagam Neeye KaanaakkuyileSing that five-note melody, you’re the unseen cuckoo.
Pazhayorormmayil NirayumaashayilIn an old memory, in a hope that overflows,
Oru Saagaram Niramaalayaakumo IniWill an ocean now become a garland of colors?
Mazhapeytha Neramee ManamWhen the rain falls, this heart
Puzhayaayi Maarumennumewill forever turn into a river.
Kalichiriyamunayilala NjorikalOn its playful waves, the ripples of laughter.
Pathanjuppongana Thaalam MelamA rhythm and melody bubbling over,
Orottamanamee Poovum ThenumThis flower and this honey are one single mind.
Udichu Thaarukalaayiram Ee JanmamA thousand stars have risen in this lifetime.
Neeyen Panchamiravu Aarum KaanaakkurumbuYou’re my full moon night, a mischief no one sees.
Paadoo Panchamaraagam Neeye KaanaakkuyileSing that five-note melody, you’re the unseen cuckoo.
Puthiyorolamaay NirayumaaravamLike a new wave, a sound begins to swell.
Ini Nammalil Puthuraagamaay MaarumoWill it now become a new melody within us?
Veyilettu VaadidumpozheeWhen we start to wither in the sunlight,
Kara Thedumee ThanalaayidaamI can be the shade this shore is searching for.
Akamalarinakalil NavalahariA new bliss blooms in the petals of the heart.
Pathanjuppongana Thaalam MelamA rhythm and melody bubbling over,
Orottamanamee Poovum ThenumThis flower and this honey are one single mind.
Udichu Thaarukalaayiram Ee JanmamA thousand stars have risen in this lifetime.
Neeyen Panchamiravu Aarum KaanaakkurumbuYou’re my full moon night, a mischief no one sees.
Paadoo Panchamaraagam Neeye KaanaakkuyileSing that five-note melody, you’re the unseen cuckoo.
Mazhayettu KarivalaththaalamaniyumWearing charcoal bangles that chime as the rain falls,
PuthupularoliyazhakeOh, you beauty of the new morning light.
Pathanjuppongana ThaalammelamA rhythm and melody bubbling over,
Orottamanamee Poovum ThenumThis flower and this honey are one single mind.
Udichu Thaarukalaayiramee JanmamA thousand stars have risen in this lifetime.
The song consistently uses images from nature like the moon, flowers, and rivers. These references build a picture of a love that is private and self-sufficient. The overall effect is a quiet celebration of a bond that creates its own universe, away from others.
