Thrishanku Swargam Lyrics Translation (from “Thrishanku”)
Manu Manjith writes about hanging on a cross in Trishanku’s heaven and falling into a pit. JK describes clutching a thread to soar, only to be pulled back into the same mess.
Kalavin KaivittaThe games lost to deceit,
Kalikal Onnoodeonce again,
Kulamaayi Theerunnithaare turning into a mess.
Atham Thammil Muttan NeramAs the festivities are about to clash,
Veendum Pottunneit erupts again.
Thrushanku SvargathilIn the limbo of Thrishanku’s heaven,
Kurushil Thungeettuhanged on a cross,
Kuzhiyil Veezhunnivanhe falls into a pit.
Kittum Noolil PattikkeriClinging onto whatever thread he can find,
Paayan Nokkunnehe tries to soar.
Paayum NeramAs he soars,
Chaayam Pooshiputting on a disguise.
Koode KoodumHe joins the crowd,
Puliye Parayuspeak of the tiger.
EnthaanannumWhatever it is,
Athaanennumit is what it is.
GothayithaHere is the stage,
Avalude Thirayumand the waves of her search.
Ayyo AyyoAlas, alas,
Karalu Thanukkumy heart grows cold.
Enthu CheyyanWhat can be done?
Oodi NokkamLet’s try to run.
Enku NokkanWhere to look?
Edavum ValavumThrough twists and turns.
Ayyo AyyoAlas, alas.
Kettinu MunneBefore the knot is tied,
Netottamo Pinnea mad dash afterwards?
Vattavanu PennaaluThe bride is a madwoman.
Bhashaa Vesham DeshamaakeLanguage, attire, the whole country,
Maari Povunneis changing.
Chakkinu VakkumWhat’s meant for the grinder,
Kokkinu Kollumis taken by the stork.
Akkidi TheerunnilleAren’t the blunders ever-ending?
Kitti PoyennorthalappolJust when you think you’ve got it,
Thattithoovunneit’s snatched away.
Aalum TheeyilIn the blazing fire,
Pollum Kaalama scalding time.
Thankaayi TheeramLet the shore be a refuge,
Puliye Parayuspeak of the tiger.
KalyaanamoIs it a wedding,
Kallerathoor a stoning?
KandorundoHas anyone seen,
Evante Vidhikalthis man’s destiny?
Ayyo AyyoAlas, alas,
Karalu Thanukkumy heart grows cold.
Enthu CheyyanWhat can be done?
Oodi NokkamLet’s try to run.
Enku NokkanWhere to look?
Edavum ValavumThrough twists and turns.
Aayyo AyyoAlas, alas.
