Vaadunnuvo
K. S. Chithra | Vinayak Sasikumar • From “Pookkaalam”
Vaadunnuvo Lyrics Translation (from “Pookkaalam”)
Chithra asks if white lilies wither before summer rain arrives. Sasikumar writes about searching for lost daylight among falling petals. Their words show sorrow through images of drying roots and silent songbirds.
Vaadunnuvo VennambugalAre the white water lilies fading?
Venal Vaaran VaigumbozhumEven as summer is late to arrive?
Veezhunnuvo OroyithalIs a single petal falling?
Veeril Jalam ThangumbozhumEven when water remains in the roots?
Vane IrulkugayoIs darkness blanketing the sky?
Ravinere MunbeyEven before the night falls?
Vaarkiligaley Vaa PadugilleyO songbirds, come, won’t you sing?
Veezhunnuvo OroyithalIs a single petal falling?
Veeril Jalam ThangumbozhumEven when water remains in the roots?
Pakale Oru KonilIn a corner of the day,
Varuvaayi MizhithediI came, searching with my eyes.
Engo KazhijuvoHas it passed by somewhere?
Kaana MalakkalameO unseen season of blossoms.
Vaadunnuvo VennambugalAre the white water lilies fading?
Venal Vaaran VaigumbozhumEven as summer is late to arrive?
Vaadunnuvo VennambugalAre the white water lilies fading?
Venal Vaaran VaigumbozhumEven as summer is late to arrive?
