Amrita Jayakumar • From “Chathur Mukham”
Chathur Mukham’s Paathiyil Malayalam Lyrics English Translation
Amrita Jayakumar sings Paathiyil Theerunnu Paathakal Kanmunnil describing a path that stops midway and Ullilay Neerunnu Novezhum Chodhyangal which talks about burning questions inside. These lines paint the feeling of being lost and unsettled as every path vanishes.
Paathiyil TheerunnuEnding halfway,
Paathakal KanmunnilThe paths before my eyes.
Theerchakal IllaatheWithout any certainty,
Shwasavum NeelunnuEven my breath’s dragging on.
Punchirichonnu Mindum MunneBefore a smile could even speak,
Maayumi NeramThis moment’s fading away.
Naalikal NeroIs tomorrow even real?
Raakinavo Kavalay AarareIs it a night’s dream or a guard, who’s watching?
Raappakal NerangalThe days and nights pass,
Utharam NalkaatheWithout giving any answers.
Ullilay NeerunnuThey’re burning deep inside,
Novezhum ChodhyangalThese questions full of pain.
Kannadachonnu NilkumbozhumEven as I stand with eyes closed,
Kaiviral NeettaamI reach out my fingers.
Kaarnizhal MaathramBut there’s only dark shadows,
Kaanbu Chaare Aaray AarareTo be seen nearby, who’s really there?
Punchirichonnu Mindum MunneBefore a smile could even speak,
Maayumi NeramThis moment’s fading away.
Naalikal NeroIs tomorrow even real?
Raakinavo Kavalay AarareIs it a night’s dream or a guard, who’s watching?
Paathiyil TheerunnuEnding halfway,
Paathakal KanmunnilThe paths before my eyes.
