Pon Vanil Lyrics Translation – Vasanthakala Paravai Soundtrack
K. J. Yesudas describes a sleepless lover questioning where to rest. He uses natural imagery to show that love, like a mountain, withstands storms.
Pon Vanil MeenurangaWhile the fish sleep in the golden sky,
Poonthoppil ThenurangaAnd the honeybees sleep in the gardens,
Anbe Un GnabagathilMy love, in my memory of you,
Enge Poi NaanurangaWhere can I possibly go to sleep?
Kannodu Thookkam Edhu Nee IllaiyeWhat sleep is there for my eyes when you aren’t here?
Kanneeril Neendhugindren Then MullaiyeI’m swimming in my tears, my sweet jasmine.
Pudhu Then MullaiyeMy fresh, sweet jasmine.
Puyal Kaatril Marangal SaayumIn a storm, the trees may fall,
Malai SaayumaaBut will a mountain ever fall?
Poove Nam Kaadhal MannilOh flower, our love in this world,
SaayathammaaIt won’t ever fall.
Veiyil Naalil Nadhigal KaayumOn a hot day, the rivers may run dry,
Kadal KaayumaaBut will an ocean ever dry up?
Vazhve Nam Kaadhal VellamMy life, the flood of our love,
KaayathammaaIt won’t ever run dry.
En Jeevane Ho Oho En JeevaneOh, my very life, oh, my very life.
Karkaala Minnalgal Idiyodu VanthaalumEven if the monsoons bring lightning and thunder,
Neelvaanam RendaagumaaWill the blue sky ever split in two?
Keezhvargam Melvargam Enkindra BedangalThe differences they call ‘lower class’ and ‘upper class’,
Nesathai ThundaadumaaCan they really tear our love apart?
Unakkagave Uyir VaazhgirenI live my life only for you,
Vidum Moochum UnakkagaEvery breath I take is for you.
Illai Vaazhkkai EdharkagaWithout that, what’s the purpose of this life?
Pon Vanil MeenurangaWhile the fish sleep in the golden sky,
Unai Thedi Varuven KanneI’ll come searching for you, my dear,
Nadu RaathiriIn the middle of the night.
Nee Indri Naalum Ingu SivaraathiriWithout you, every day here is a ‘Sivaraathiri’ vigil.
Nadanthathu Nilavai ThediI’ve walked, searching for the moon,
Pala RaathiriNight after night.
Naan Kaana Vendum Unnaal NavaraathiriBecause of you, I want to see a ‘Navaraathiri’ festival.
Nee Kaathiru Oh Edhir PaarthiruYou just wait, oh, keep on waiting.
Anbe En Paattukku Andraadam Un PaarvaiMy love, for my songs, your gaze each day,
Aadhaara Shruthi AllavaIsn’t that the fundamental note?
Penne Un Thol Sera Mudiyaamal Thadai PodumMy girl, the thing that stops me from reaching your shoulder,
Pollaatha Vidhi AllavaIsn’t that just cruel fate?
Adhai Maatruven Unai ThetruvenI’ll change it, and I’ll console you.
Adi Oorar ThaduthaalumEven if the whole town tries to stop us,
Uyir Kaadhal ArangerumOur soul-deep love will take the stage.
Pon Vanil MeenurangaWhile the fish sleep in the golden sky,
Poonthoppil ThenurangaAnd the honeybees sleep in the gardens,
Anbe Un GnabagathilMy love, in my memory of you,
Enge Poi NaanurangaWhere can I possibly go to sleep?
Kannodu Thookkam Edhu Nee IllaiyeWhat sleep is there for my eyes when you aren’t here?
Kanneeril Neendhugindren Then MullaiyeI’m swimming in my tears, my sweet jasmine.
Pudhu Then MullaiyeMy fresh, sweet jasmine.
