Cup’s Vellithooval Malayalam Lyrics English Translation
Manu Manjith writes about two hearts searching together for a shore. He also asks lovers to carve their names worldwide through the chessboard metaphor of life’s competition.
Vellithooval Megham Menje MeleSilver-feathered clouds weave the sky above,
Vellathooval Naadunarnne ThaazheWhile the land below awakens like a white feather.
Manjil Moodum Thazhvaarathe PulkaanTo embrace the valley draped in mist,
Peelithennal Thellum Ponne KoodeA breeze as soft as a peacock’s plume drifts with us, my dear.
NeelumidavazhikalilAlong these winding, stretching paths,
SnehanarumozhikalaalWith sweet, fragrant words of love,
Thammil Thammil CherunneWe’re joining together, hand in hand,
Koumarathin ChangaathamIn this companionship of our youth.
Dhoore MalamukalileFar away, atop the mountain peaks,
ThaaramalarithalineTo the petal of a star-flower,
Umma Vachu PaaruvaanTo kiss it and fly away,
Mohamulla PraakkalaayiWe become doves filled with desire.
Vellithooval Megham Menje MeleSilver-feathered clouds weave the sky above,
Vellathooval Naadunarnne ThaazheWhile the land below awakens like a white feather.
PoomizhikkonileIn the corner of your flower-like eyes,
Ponkanavin ThoniyilInside the boat of golden dreams,
Varnnamazhavillin ThuzhayonnoonnumbolAs we lean on a rainbow for an oar,
Korthinakki NeelumaLinking together those long…
Kunju Kalivakkilaay…little playful words,
Randu Manamonnaay Theeram ThedunnuTwo hearts become one, searching for the shore.
Akathaaril NirayeFilling the depths of the heart,
Azhakaakum PranayamA beautiful romance,
Thelinilaavu PolLike the clear moonlight,
OlividarthaveSpreads its radiance.
Hrithayathin IlayilOn the leaf of the heart,
Oru Thingkal MukhavumA moon-like face,
Nee VarachuvoHave you sketched it out,
Kaathu VachidaanTo treasure forever?
Vellithooval Megham Menje MeleSilver-feathered clouds weave the sky above,
Vellathooval Naadunarnne ThaazheWhile the land below awakens like a white feather.
Jeevitham MalsaramLife’s a fierce competition,
Chodurachu NeengidaanTo move forward with firm, steady steps,
Dheerga Chathurangal Kalamaayi TheliyunneThe long squares of the chessboard appear as the stage.
Kannilulla SwapnameeThis dream held in your eyes,
Kaiyil Vannu CheruvaanTo finally arrive in your hands,
Ethrayini Kaatham Munnil ThaandaanaayHow many more miles lie ahead to cross?
Karavegam ParayumThe speed of your hands will tell,
Thala Thaazhaa KadhakalStories of a head that never bows,
Vijayaveedhiyil PadhamamarthiduPress your feet firmly on the path of victory.
Viriyunnee ChirakilOn these spreading wings,
Uyarangal AnayuReach for the heights,
Lokamaake NinAcross the entire world,
Peru Kothi VaaGo and carve your name.
Vellithooval Megham Menje MeleSilver-feathered clouds weave the sky above,
