Jawanum Mullappoovum’s Onnu Thotte Annu Thotte Lyrics Translation

The verses develop this pledge of careful protection. One line promises to guard this person like a treasure, ensuring their eyes never become wet with tears. The difficult month of ‘Aashaadham’ is shown fading away, replaced by the auspicious ‘Aavani’. This change signals an end to a period of solitude.

Onnu Thotte Annu ThotteFrom the first touch, from that day forward,
Thottavadi NinneYou, the sensitive plant,
Ente Ullinte Ullile Muttathu NatteI planted in the courtyard deep within my soul.
Chaare KaathirunneI’ve waited here, right by your side.
Onnu Nanayanayi Mazhamoham PeyyumHoping for a rain to fall and drench you,
Thanneer Thevi Melle VidaranayiGently sprinkling water for you to blossom.
Idanenjum Vevum Venneer ThooviMy own burning heart offers its warmth,
Naanam Mayyittu Manikkya KannodeWith shyly kohled, jewel-like eyes,
Anuragam Nammil Pookunnu MounamOur love quietly blooms in the silence.
Onnu Thotte Annu ThotteFrom the first touch, from that day forward,
Thottavadi NinneYou, the sensitive plant,
Ente Ullinte Ullile Muttathu NatteI planted in the courtyard deep within my soul.
Chaare KaathirunneI’ve waited here, right by your side.
Kilichundan Maavin ChottilBeneath the Kilichundan mango tree,
Olichetthum Kaattay MaaramI’ll become a secret, wandering breeze.
Ithalukal Vaadathoru Muttham ThanneedamI’ll give you a kiss that won’t wilt your petals,
Iravariyathe Kadhayotham KaathoramAnd whisper stories in your ear, unknown to the night.
Mashikannin Konil AnneIn the corner of your kohl-lined eyes,
Ninekkekan Kaathe Vekkum ManikkinaavellamAll the precious dreams I’ve saved for you,
Marakkാതെ ThanneedamI’ll give them all, forgetting none.
Vayal Pullu Paadum Puthu Paattum KettidamWe can listen to the new songs the meadow grass sings.
Aathmaavil Madhu NirayeAs sweetness fills our very souls,
Athirukalo AliyukayayThe boundaries between us dissolve.
Aashaadham MaayunneThe bleak month of Aashaadham fades away,
Aavani PonkaniyayiAnd you become the golden first sight of Aavani.
Onnu Thotte Annu ThotteFrom the first touch, from that day forward,
Thottavadi NinneYou, the sensitive plant,
Ente Ullinte Ullile Muttathu NatteI planted in the courtyard deep within my soul.
Chaare KaathirunneI’ve waited here, right by your side.
Manassakum Koodin ChaareBeside this nest that is my heart,
Malarkaalam Vanne VeendumThe season of flowers has come once more.
Karimukil MaanjeThe dark clouds have disappeared,
Niravaanam PookkunneAnd the endless sky is now in bloom.
Pularikal Thorum Kilinaadam KelkkunneWith every dawn, I hear the song of birds.
Enikkennum NenjinullilAlways, deep within my heart,
Midippayi Maarum MulleYou’re the jasmine vine that has become my heartbeat.
Ilathanalayi Ini Ennum NinnidaamFrom now on, I will always be your leafy shade.
Ima Nanayathe Nidhipole KaathidamI’ll guard you like a treasure, so your eyes never know a tear.
Aavolam PuzhanirayeAs much as a river can fill,
Ninavukalo KarakaviyeMy thoughts of you are overflowing.
Neeyennum En KanninYou will always be, for my eyes,
Aavani PonkaniyayiThe golden first sight of Aavani.
Onnu Thotte Annu ThotteFrom the first touch, from that day forward,
Thottavadi NinneYou, the sensitive plant,
Ente Ullinte Ullile Muttathu NatteI planted in the courtyard deep within my soul.
Chaare KaathirunneI’ve waited here, right by your side.
