K. K. Nishad | K. S. Chithra • From “Screen Play”
Sayamsandhye Lyrics Translation (from “Screen Play”)
Lejin Chemmani describes the evening twilight turning into a smile, with lines like ‘the cold moon comes today, bringing a sense of freshness.’ The poet uses the screw-pine flower as a metaphor for awakening, creating a serene, natural rhythm. K. K. Nishad and K. S. Chithra bring this imagery to life with their voices.
Saayamsandye Veendum ChiriyaakumbolWhen the evening twilight turns into a smile again,
Puthumakalaruli Varum Panimathiyalinnumthe cold moon comes today, bringing a sense of freshness.
Ariyaathe ThaazhambooveO unwitting ‘screw-pine’ flower,
Melle Unarnnuvodid you wake up slowly?
Muriyaathe Veezhum ThenaamLike honey falling in an unbroken stream,
Raagam Punarnnuvodid you embrace the melody?
Aaranyamizhimuna ThazhukukayaayThe gaze of the forest’s eyes is caressing us now.
Aaraadhya Mozhiyizha PaakukayaayThe threads of worshipful words are being woven together.
Aaramaveethikal OzhukukayaayThe garden paths are flowing by.
Aamoda NadanasvaroopikalaayWe’ve become the very forms of a joyful dance.
Saayamsandye VeendumAs the evening twilight comes again,
Veendum Chiriyaakumboland turns into a smile once more.
Poonulli VannethumWhen you arrive after picking flowers
Pularunna Velayilin the early hours of the dawn,
Kannadi Nokkunnoare you looking in the mirror?
Chaaruthe NeeyennumMy beautiful one, do you always do that?

Chamayangalekiyo Chandanam ChaarthiyoDid you put on makeup or apply sandalwood paste?
Naanam VirinjoOr did shyness just bloom on your face?
Nerukil Sindooram ThookiyoDid you sprinkle ‘vermillion’ on your forehead?
Aaranyamizhimuna ThazhukukayaayThe forest’s watchful eyes are caressing us now.
Aaraadhya Mozhiyizha PaakukayaayThe threads of worshipful words are being woven together.

Poovili Nerathu Aniyunna Bhaavangalthese expressions you wear during the ‘flower-calling’ festival,
Chandrika Nokkiyo Sundaree Ninnolamdid the moonlight watch you to see if it’s as lovely as you?
Thaamboolamekiyo Pudavayum NeerthiyoDid you offer ‘betel leaf’ or spread out the new cloth?
Dhyaanam Niranjo NinavilIs your mind filled with a deep meditation?
Kaithiri PoothuvoHas the little ‘hand-lamp’ finally bloomed?
Aaranyamizhimuna ThazhukukayaayThe forest’s deep gaze is caressing us now.
Aaraadhya Mozhiyizha PaakukayaayThe threads of worshipful words are being woven together.
