Padachone Lyrics Translation (from “My Name Is Azhakan”)
Vineeth Sreenivasan describes a businessman praying for his shop to boom without losing his evening meal. The lyrics mention dreams stored like coins in a jar, asking for a small way to sell them.
Illatha Samayathu Vallatha PanikkaayIn these scarce times, for the sake of some crazy work,
Allaarum Irankana KachodamEveryone is jumping into this trade.
Pollappu Polivukal Vallaandu VarilleWon’t hassles and failures come in heaps?
Nallonam Thunaykkane PadacchoneGuide me well, oh Creator.
Mittaayi Kudukkayil Ittoru KanavukalThe dreams I’ve saved up like coins in a candy jar,
Vilkkanumoru Cheru Vazhi KaattuShow me a small way to sell them.
Kachodam Podikkanam Athaazham MudakkalleLet the business boom, but don’t let me starve at supper.
Muttum Varuthalle EniyennumDon’t let trouble knock on my door ever again.
Kada Cherukataivanithu Valiyoru KadamaayiThis shop is small; don’t let it turn into a massive debt.
Maaralle PadacchoneDon’t let it transform like that, oh Creator.
Adi Adimudi Varanathu Thadayanamividam Kaakkane PadacchoneBlock the blows coming from head to toe; protect this place, oh Creator.
Illatha Samayathu Vallatha PanikkaayIn these scarce times, for the sake of some crazy work,
Allaarum Irankana KachodamEveryone is jumping into this trade.
Pollappu Polivukal Vallaandu VarilleWon’t hassles and failures come in heaps?

Kannumadachu Thurakkum MunpeBefore I could even blink my eyes,
Enthu Pukilaanambo VanneWhat a commotion has arrived, oh my!
Ninna Nilaykku Kada Than KolamFrom where it stood, the shop’s whole form,
Ponthi ValuthaayHas risen up and grown huge.
Aalum KoodiThe crowds have gathered too.
Ninne Thiriyaanilla NeramI don’t have time to even stand and turn.
Enthu Bahalam Veettil PooramWhat a noise, it’s like a festival in the house!
Kanjikkalavum Thattim MuttimKnocking and banging into the rice gruel pot,
MakkaritthayyayyoIt’s all become a mess, oh dear!

Kedakkan Polum Neram IllaI don’t even have time to lie down.
Kedannittu PoruthillaEven if I lie down, I find no peace.
Eni Thala Vazhi ChurundaalNow, even if I curl up covering my head,
Oru Gathi EvanilaaThere is no salvation for this guy.
Kedakkan Polum Neram IllaI don’t even have time to lie down.
Kedannittu PoruthillaEven if I lie down, I find no peace.

Pulari Thottu Thudangum PanikalChores that start at the crack of dawn,
Kudumbam Muzhavan Parakkam ParannuHave the whole family flying around in panic.
Njanaayi Kondonna Kachodam InnayyoThis business I started on my own… oh, alas!
Vendannu Thonnana MattaayiIt’s reached a point where I wish I hadn’t.
