Kaattuchembakam Lyrics English Translation – Pallichattambi | Vishal Mishra, Aavani Malhar

Innuvare Kanda Thilla Njan,
Until today, I have never seen it.

Ponnurukki Vecha Pennmukham
A woman’s face shaped like molten gold.

Innuvare Kanda Thilla Njan, Ponnurukki Vecha Pennmukham
Until today, I have never seen a girl’s face as pure as gold.

Vinnil Ninnum Vannu Mannil Kothum
As if she descended from the sky and touched the earth.

Chempakappennival Kannivaal
This champak-like maiden, whose eyes are bright and piercing.

Thedi Kitti Oru Vennila, Paathiraavil Vannu Ponmazha
I found the moon I had been searching for — a golden rain that fell at midnight.

Thooval Thumbin Munayal Oru Mrudulaksharam
A delicate letter written with the tip of a feather.

Seemaatheetha Sooryodaya Deepankuram
A sunrise flame that rises beyond all boundaries.

Aakaasham Ninne Thannennu oru Ponmaanam
As if the sky itself has bestowed upon you a golden blessing.

Mele Kandu Kanavin Kuliraay, Kuliraazha Varavaay
From above, it looks like a dream — arriving with a deep, soothing coolness.

Kattuchembakam Pooththotte
Let the wild champak flowers bloom.

Naattuthathamma Kettotte
Let the village parrot hear it,

Nee Enikkulla Kannippeṇṇaaṇe
You are the maiden meant for me,

Kaathu Kittiya Muththaaṇe
The pearl I received after waiting,

Thedi Kittiya Ponnaṇe
The gold I found after searching.

Kattaduth oru Mohasothaaṇe
A desire that stands close to me.

Oh Oh Oh Oh… Oh Oh Oh Oh…
Oh Oh Oh Oh… Oh Oh Oh Oh…

Varumo Varumo Ithile Varumo, Ninne Kaathu Ninnu En
Will you come, will you come this way? I have been waiting for you.

Kaal Kuzhanjhe En Mohapenmaane
My dear little one, my legs were trembling.

Nee Pokathe Pokathe Kai Vittiyathe
Don’t go, don’t let go of my hand.

Nooru Mohangal Daahangal Thedi Varumpol
When hundreds of desires and longings come searching.

Theeram Thirayoṭa Oru Prema Sallapam
Like the shore and the waves in a loving conversation.

Kaattum Mulamthandum Oru Gaan Sallaapam
Like the wind and the bamboo singing a song together.

Mukilaanu Mazhapozhiyaṇa Pakalaay
Like a cloud raining in the light of day.

Kaattuchembakam Pooththotte
Let the wild champak flowers bloom,

Naattuthathamma Kettotte
Let the village parrot hear it,

Nee Enikkulla Kannippeṇṇaaṇe, Eyy
You are the girl who is mine, oh.

Kaathu Kittiya Muththaṇe
The pearl I gained after waiting,

Thedi Kittiya Ponnaaṇe
The gold I found after searching,

Kattaduththoru Mohasoththaaṇe
A longing that stays close to me.
