Thaakkol Lyrics English Translation – Balan: The Boy | Sushin Shyam | Nila Raj

Kando Kando Thaakkol,
Have you seen the key?

Kunjan Thavalayude Thaakkol.
The tiny froggy’s key?

Naattil Thendi Nadakkumbol, Kaanaathaayoru Thaakkol,
The key that slipped away while wandering here and there,

Kaanaathaayoru Thaakkol…
The key that slipped away,

Mann Kuzhikkum Njendalyaa,
O crab-bro, digging the sand,

Kando Neeyaa Thaakkol?
Have you seen the key?

Kando Neeyaa Thaakkol?
Have you seen the key?

Mann Kuzhikkum Neram,
While I dig the muddy earth,

Engane Kaanum Thaakkol…
How could I see your key?

Pattam Ketti Varum Kombaa,
Hey tusker, wearing a golden caparison.

Nee Kandodaa Thaakkol?
Have you seen my key?

Nee Kandodaa Thaakkol?
Have you seen it at all?

Kottum Chendayilillallo,
It’s not in the beating drum,

Pottumamittilumillallo,
Nor in the bursting crackers,

Payyin Vaale Thoongiyole,
OH, my egret, have you seen my key?

Mundikokke Nee Kando?
While hanging from the cattle’s tail?

Neettil Ponthum Meene, Kannaale Njaan Kandullu.
Only the fish popping up have I seen with my eyes.

Kombil Njaalum Vavvaale,
O bat, hanging from a tree trunk,

Kando Velli Thaakkol?
Did you see my silver key?

Kuttirittilumillallo,
It’s not in the pitch-dark night,

Utharathilumillallo,
Nor on the roof beam,

Chodhichangane Poyyaare,
As the frog went around asking,

Neendu Nivarnnu Kidakkunnu,
Stretched out long and flat was

Thaakkol Poloru Neerkkoli,
A key-like wriggly water eel,

Thaakkol Poloru Neerkkoli.
A key-like wriggly water eel,

Kunjan Thavalachaarinnum, Ellaarodum Chodhichu:
Even today, the tiny frog asks everyone.

“Thaakkol Kando?” “Pekkrom Pekkrom!”
Croak, croak, did you see the key?

Veedin Velli Thaakkol.
The silver key to my home?

“Thaakkol Kando?” “Pekkrom Pekkrom!”
Croak, croak, did you see the key?

Minnaaminni Thaakkol,
The glowing firefly key?

Minnaaminni Thaakkol.
The glowing firefly key?
