Oru Neenda Venalin Lyrics Translation (from “Chilappol Penkutty”)

M. Kamarudheen writes about a bird with clipped wings, a small creature that dreams of pain. He notes, ‘A bird with clipped wings only dreams of pain.’ The lyricist mentions a throb in the left eye, a physical sensation that points to a crossing soul. He questions whether spoken words become empty chaff, a simple worry that stays in the poem.

Oru Neenda Venalin MounabhaaramThe heavy silence of a long, drawn-out summer.
Nenjil Ariyathe Novayi Vithumpi NilkkeWhile it stood sobbing in my heart as an unknown ache,
Ente Ninavinte Chillayil Paattum PaadumOn the branch of my memories, singing a song,
Kunju Kiliyonnunarnnuvo Melle MelleDid a little bird wake up, slowly and gently?
Kiliyonnunarnunarnnuvo Melle MelleDid that little bird wake up, slowly and gently?
Chirakatta Pakshiykk Novin KinakkaloDoes a bird with clipped wings see only dreams of pain?
Karuthiyirippathu KaalamIs that what time has kept in store?
Chirakatta Pakshiykk Novin KinakkaloDoes a bird with severed wings see only painful dreams?
Karuthiyirippathu KaalamIs that truly what time has in store?
Ariyillenikkonum Ariyaatha VaazhvinteI don’t know anything about this unknown life.
Niramente Vaakkil NiraykuPlease, fill my words with color.
Niramente Vaakkil NiraykuFill my words with color.
Chilaneramullil Pirakkum ArundoruSometimes, a rare feeling is born within,
Puzhayil Shayikunna ChandranLike the moon sleeping in the river.
Athu Nokki Nilkke Thudikkunnidam KannuAs I stand gazing at it, my left eye throbs,
Vazhikadannaaru VeendumWondering who has crossed my path again.
Vazhikadannaaru VeendumWondering who has crossed this path again.
Parayunnathokkeyum Pathiraayi MaarumoWill everything I say turn into empty chaff?
Ariyillenikkonum OnnumennalumI don’t know anything, even though—
Oru Kilipattinte ChirakulillundathuThat which lies within the wings of a bird’s song,
Kavaruvanethumo KaalamWill time arrive to steal it away?
Kavaruvanethumo KaalamWill time really come to steal that away too?
