Chembarathi Lyrics English Translation – Lil Payyan

Ariyaathoru Jeevithamaane
I have realized that life is an unknown journey.

Athil Avaloru Thaarakamaane
In it, she is a guiding star, profound and deep.

Irulaayoru Paathayathaalum
Even if the path is drowned in darkness,

Vettam Nee Thannille Chellakkili
Didn’t you light it up, my “dear bird”?

Neeyente Kaadhalumaane
You are the love I have always known.

Neeyoru Kaavalumaane
You’re the guardian I call my own.

Chudu Viral Korthu Kaathil Pathiyumbo
Like warm fingers intertwine and whispers fill my ears,

Konjalle Kollalle Ponnumkili
Don’t tease me or hurt me, my sweet “golden bird.”

Nee Poya Enakinnu Aaru
If you leave, who’s left for me today?

Nee Thaana Enakinnu Paaru
Just look, you’re the one in every way.

Vaa Moodi Mizhiyilu Paaru
Stay silent and look deep into my eyes,

Nee Thaana Enakinnu Paaru
See that you’re my only prize.

Nee Poya Enakinnu Aaru
If you leave, who will be my anchor today?

Nee Thaana Enakinnu Paaru
Look closely — you are the only one for me.

Vaa Moodi Mizhiyilu Paaru, Nee Thaana Enakinnu Paaru
Now be quiet, and look into my soul — you are the one who makes me whole.

Chembarathi Nalla Chembarathi, Chandana Manam Avale Parathi
Hibiscus, oh, lovely “hibiscus flower,” it spreads the fragrance of sandalwood with such strength.

Chenthaamarayum Cherum Pennoruthi, Chenkavilorathu Chiri Parathi
A girl blossoms as beautifully as a “red lotus,” and the smile on her “rosy cheeks” chases away all sadness.

Chembarathi Nalla Chembarathi, Nalla Penpirannolente Pennoruthi
Hibiscus, my beautiful “hibiscus flower,” the finest woman by birth — she is the sacred pavilion of my soul.

Avalude Chiri Enteyullil Manjurukki, Avalude Chiri Enne Melle Mayakki
Her smile has melted the ice frozen inside me; her smile has gently worked a magic that I cannot hide.

Chembarathi Nalla Chembarathi
Hibiscus, oh radiant ‘hibiscus flower’,

Nalla Sundari Kothaval Ennilethi
A beauty like her has entered my life,

Avalude Chiri Enteyullil Manjurukki
Her smile has melted the coldness of my heart,

Avalude Chiri Enne Melle Mayakki
Her smile has left me mesmerized and enchanted.

Nee Poya Enakinnu Aaru
If you depart, who’ll stand by me?

Nee Thaana Enakinnu Paaru
Look at me, you’re my only destiny.

Vaa Moodi Mizhiyilu Paaru
Be still and see yourself in my eyes,

Nee Thaana Enakinnu Paaru
You’re the treasure I’ll always prize.

Nee Poya Enakinnu Aaru
Without you, I’ve got no one to hold,

Nee Thaana Enakinnu Paaru
Look, you are more precious than gold.

Vaa Moodi Mizhiyilu Paaru
Keep quiet and read what my gaze says,

Nee Thaana Enakinnu Paaru
You’re the one I’ll love all my days.

Chembarathi Nalla Chembarathi, Chandana Manam Avale Parathi
Hibiscus, oh, lovely “hibiscus flower,” it spreads the fragrance of sandalwood with such intensity.

Chenthaamarayum Cherum Pennoruthi, Chenkavilorathu Chiri Parathi
A girl blossoms as beautifully as a “red lotus,” and the smile on her “rosy cheeks” chases away all sadness.
