Thottampatturayunna Malepothi’s Nizhalu Pole Kathidam Lyrics Translation

The verses track a child’s firsts, including their earliest words and first steps. A later line describes the parent’s heart aching as the child grows and becomes independent. This introduces the bittersweet feeling of watching a child mature.

Nizhalu Pole Kathidam Karalinullil CherthidamLike a shadow, I’ll guard you, I’ll hold you in my heart
Ennumen PooveAlways, my flower
Nizhalu Pole Kathidam Karalinullil CherthidamLike a shadow, I’ll guard you, I’ll hold you in my heart
Ennumen PooveAlways, my flower
En Kunjilam PooveMy tender little flower
Kunjunaavaale ThenmozhiyuthirkkaveWhen your little tongue utters honeyed words
Kunjukaaladikal Nee PichavekkaveWhen you take your first steps with your tiny feet
Enteyullil Neeyaam Kanavu MaathramaayInside me, you became my only dream
Enteyullil Neeyaam Kanavu MaathramaayInside me, you became my only dream
Ennumente Jeevanil Nee KunjupoovalleIn my life, aren’t you forever my little flower?
Kunjukaikkumbil En Nenjil VeezhaveWhen your little cupped hands fall upon my chest
Kanninullil Nin Chiri PoothirangaveWhen your smile blossoms deep within my eyes
Nee Valarnnu Poke En Nenju VingaveAs you grow up and go on, my heart aches
Nee Valarnnu Poke En Nenju VingaveAs you grow up and go on, my heart aches
Koode Ennum Kaavalaayi KoottirunnidaamI’ll always stay with you, as your guardian and companion
Nizhalu Pole Kathidam Karalinullil CherthidamLike a shadow, I’ll guard you, I’ll hold you in my heart
Ennumen PooveAlways, my flower
En Kunjilam PooveMy tender little flower
