Thiru Thiru Thiruvanathapurathu Lyrics Translation – Kaapa Soundtrack
The lyricist tells the story of a girl named Maalathi who loses her bangle in a jeweled well. She stands there, talking and complaining until someone offers her a golden bangle instead. The story unfolds in Thiruvananthapuram, where the narrative shifts to a powerful group declaring their dominance with lines like, ‘We’re the kings with our bare hands.’
Onnam ManikkinattiluIn the first jeweled well,
Onnam Manikkinattilu ValaIn the first jeweled well, a bangle,
Kalanjuu Pennu MaalathiyeThe girl Maalathi’s gone and lost it.
Onnam Manikkinattilu ValaIn the first jeweled well, a bangle,
Kalanjuu Pennu MaalathiyeThe girl Maalathi’s gone and lost it.
Valayum KalanjechumHaving lost her bangle,
Pennavide Ninnum PesunneThe girl stands there and keeps on talking.
Valayum KalanjechumWith her bangle now gone,
Pennavide Ninnum PesunneThe girl stands there and keeps complaining.
Adi Pesaathe Nilladi PonneStop your chatter and stand still, darling,
Kanakapponvala Njan TharamI’ll give you a golden bangle instead.
Adi Pesaathe Nilladi PonneDon’t say a word and stand right there,
Kanakapponvala Njan TharamI’ll give you a bangle made of pure gold.
