Engotta Lyrics English Translation – Balan The Boy | Sushin Shyam

Ilakal Ozhuki Neengum Pole
Like leaves floating along,

Iru Sanchaarikal
Two wandering souls,

Ekaantharaam Nizhalukal
Lonely shadows.

Nizhal Neelum Paathayiloode Pakal
Across the trails where shadows stretch, daylight faded.

Vazhiyambala Raakkathayaay Maari, Avar
And they turned into nightly tales of wayside inns,

Aarum Kaanaaththooril Thee Kaayum Koodaarathil
In a tent, unseen by all, the heat of fire rises.

Aaditheeraa Vesham Aadunno, Raaghoshathil
And in a celebration, where roles left incomplete are played.

Kannil Vannu Minni Maayum Poymukhangal
Masks flicker and fade before the eyes,

Thammil Maathram Chilla Veeshum Paazhmarangal
Barren trees swaying their branches only to one another,

Aaravangal…
The clamor…

Kaattupole Engottaa?
Where are you off to, like the wind?

Kaarupole Engottaa?
Where are you off to, like the cloud?

Maanaththe Paadaththe, Maamazha Koyyaano?
Is it to reap the great rain from the fields of the sky?

Kaikale Kaalkale
O hands, feet, and eyes

Kankale Engottaa
Where are you all off to?

Paanjupom Maayayaam, Maaninte Pinnaale?
Chasing the fleeting deer, a mirage?

Rodellaam Engottaa
Where do all these roads lead?

Neenduneende Engottaa?
Stretching on and on, where to?

Bhoomeede Thunchatthe
To the very edge of the earth,

Thoonilaa Thediyo?
Seeking the bright moonlight?

Appooppanthaadi Pol Aalolam Aadi Nee
Swaying like a milkweed seed,

Engottaan Engottaa
Where are you off to?

Naaraarum Kaanaathe?
Unseen by anyone else?

Engottaa Paari Nee
Where are you drifting away?

Paazhiyile?
You, fallen leaf?
