Pachuvum Albuda Vilakkum’s Thinkalppoovin Ithalaval Lyrics Translation
The song then shifts to a pledge of protection. A guardian vows to become a star to help her through the “deepest darkness.” A later Hindi line states that when his own boats faltered, she was the shore, showing a two-way connection.
Thinkalppoovin IthalavalShe’s a petal from a moonlit flower
Minnum ThankathiriyavalShe’s a shimmering wick of gold
Manjin Muthin MizhikalilFrom her eyes of misty pearls
Chinthum Ponnin ThariyavalA single speck of gold does fall
Thinkalppoovin IthalavalShe’s a petal from a moonlit flower
Minnum ThankathiriyavalShe’s a shimmering wick of gold
Manjin Muthin MizhikalilFrom her eyes of misty pearls
Chinthum Ponnin ThariyavalA single speck of gold does fall
Kunjikkaiviral ThumpilaadyamaayOn the tip of her tiny finger
Pookkumaksharangal SooryanaayThe first letters bloom like the sun
Kanneernanavukal Oppum AlivumaayWith a kindness that wipes away tears
Enne Thediyethum ThennalaayShe comes seeking me like a gentle breeze
Omalaay PonnomaalaayMy darling, my precious treasure
En SnehasaanthwanamaayShe is my loving comfort
Thinkalppoovin IthalavalShe’s a petal from a moonlit flower
Minnum ThankathiriyavalShe’s a shimmering wick of gold
Manjin Muthin MizhikalilFrom her eyes of misty pearls
Chinthum Ponnin ThariyavalA single speck of gold does fall
Thaamarathalire Maamazhakkulire Maarivil MayileOh, tender lotus leaf, cool as the rain, my rainbow peacock
Koorirul Neenthaan KoodeyirikkaanTo swim through the deepest darkness, to stay by my side
ThaaramaayavaleThe one who became a star
Thaamarathalire Maamazhakkulire Maarivil MayileOh, tender lotus leaf, cool as the rain, my rainbow peacock
Koorirul Neenthaan KoodeyirikkaanTo swim through the deepest darkness, to stay by my side
ThaaramaayavaleThe one who became a star
Kadalilere Dooram Thalaraathe PoyiduvaanTo travel great distances, across the sea, without tiring
Kanavupole Ellam Kaineetti VaangiduvaanTo reach out and receive everything, just like in a dream
Kanmanee KanmaneeMy precious one, my precious one
Nee Veenidaathe Kaathidaam NjanI will guard you so that you don’t fall
Thinkalppoovin IthalavalShe’s a petal from a moonlit flower
Minnum ThankathiriyavalShe’s a shimmering wick of gold
Manjin Muthin MizhikalilFrom her eyes of misty pearls
Chinthum Ponnin ThariyavalA single speck of gold does fall
Naaz Hai Ki Hum Hain Teri Aur Humaara TuI’m proud that I am yours and you are mine
Dagmagayi Kashtiyaan Toh Tha Kinaara TuWhen my boats began to falter, you were the shore
Meri Ummeedon Ki Lau Jab Kapkapaayi TohWhen the flame of my hopes started to flicker
Timtima Hosla Deta Sitaara TuYou were the star that gave it twinkling courage
Penne Nee UnarnaaleMy girl, from the day you awakened
Kanalaavaam Thaane Theeyaay AalaamLet’s be the embers, let’s become the fire
Aa Vazhikalil Aayiram Muriyum MullukalaakaveOn those paths, a thousand piercing thorns will be there
Ven chirakilaay VinnanayukaWith white wings, let’s reach for the sky
Kaanaam PuthulokamWe can see a new world
Theliyenam Nee Kaatha PunchiriThe smile you’ve kept safe must now brightly shine
Thinkalppoovin IthalavalShe’s a petal from a moonlit flower
Minnum ThankathiriyavalShe’s a shimmering wick of gold
Manjin Muthin MizhikalilFrom her eyes of misty pearls
Chinthum Ponnin ThariyavalA single speck of gold does fall
Kunjikkaiviral ThumpilaadyamaayOn the tip of her tiny finger
Pookkumaksharangal SooryanaayThe first letters bloom like the sun
Kanneernanavukal Oppum AlivumaayWith a kindness that wipes away tears
Enne Thediyethum ThennalaayShe comes seeking me like a gentle breeze
Omalaay PonnomaalaayMy darling, my precious treasure
En SnehasaanthwanamaayShe is my loving comfort
Thinkalppoovin IthalavalShe’s a petal from a moonlit flower
Minnum ThankathiriyavalShe’s a shimmering wick of gold
