Oh Cinderella’s Paathiravu Pookkunnu Lyrics Translation

The lyrics describe a person so captivated that even their shadow has been stolen by another. Another line points to a gentle touch during a moment of slow intimacy. These images focus on sensory details instead of direct statements.

Um… Um…Um… Um…
Paathiraavu Pookkunnu MelleMidnight blooms so slowly
Raathinkalin ChumbanathaalWith the kiss of the night-blossom
Paadarenu Thedunna NeramIn the hour we search for pollen
Aardrametho KeliswanangalHearing tender sounds of love
Akalunna Kaattil Anayunna ManjinIn the fading wind, in the settling mist
Thanuvarna Thanuvil Thalarunna NidrayilIn a cool-colored body, in a weakening sleep
Irulum Kadannethumee ThekkupaattilIn this southern song that crosses through the dark
Nizhalum KavarnneduthaaroHas someone stolen even the shadow?
Mazhavil Niram Chaathumee MeghadoothilIn this cloud-messenger that paints the rainbow
Ulayum Kilikkoottil AaroThere’s someone in the swaying bird’s nest
Oru Ven ChiraathinarikeBeside a single white lamp
Thirayaathe Thirayunnu KankalMy eyes search without even trying
Pathiye Nananja RathiyilIn an intimacy that slowly soaks us through
Alasam Pathinja ViralaalWith the languid touch of a finger
Nadamaadum NeerchuzhiyilWithin this dancing whirlpool
Athivegam ThuzhayukayoAre you rowing with such speed?
Kanalaadum KaamanayilIn a desire that dances like embers
Madamorum Ithaloram IvalShe is here, at the edge of an intoxicating petal
Paathiraavu Pookkunnu MelleMidnight blooms so slowly
Raathinkalin ChumbanathaalWith the kiss of the night-blossom
Paadarenu Thedunna NeramIn the hour we search for pollen
Aardrametho KeliswanangalHearing tender sounds of love
Akalunna Kaattil Anayunna ManjinIn the fading wind, in the settling mist
Thanuvarna Thanuvil Thalarunna NidrayilIn a cool-colored body, in a weakening sleep
Irulum Kadannethumee ThekkupaattilIn this southern song that crosses through the dark
Nizhalum KavarnneduthaaroHas someone stolen even the shadow?
Mazhavil Niram Chaathumee MeghadoothilIn this cloud-messenger that paints the rainbow
Ulayum Kilikkoottil AaroThere’s someone in the swaying bird’s nest
