Yavana Kadhayil Ninnu Vanna Lyrics English Translation – Bethlehem Kudumba Unit Version

Yavana Kadhayil Ninnu Vanna Iadayakanyake
O shepherd maiden, straight from a Greek fairy tale,

Vayana Pootha Vazhiyilenthe Veruthe Nilppu Nee
Why do you linger where the wildflowers bloom?

Yamuna Ozhukum Vanikayile Venu Gayaka
O flute-player by the banks of Yamuna,

Murali Paadum Pattil Swayam Marannu Ninnu Njan
I stood entranced by the melody of your flute,

Thammil Thammil Annadhyamayi Kandu
That was the first time our eyes ever met,

Ninne Kananen Kannukal Punyam Cheythu
And my eyes felt blessed just to behold you,

Yavana Kadhayil Ninnu Vanna Iadayakanyake
O shepherd maiden, straight from a Greek fairy tale,

Yamuna Ozhukum Vanikayile Venu Gayaka
Why do you linger where the wildflowers bloom?

Ravin Thanka Thoniyeri En Aramanathan
Riding a golden canoe through the night,

Arayilival Arum Kanathinnu Vannu
She came unseen into my palace chamber,

Prema Lolayayi Chenchodiyina Than
Love-lorn, her crimson lips,

Punchiriyil Thoovennilavu Uthirnnu
She smiled and moonlight spilled.

Raparkkan Idamundo
Is there room for me to spend the night?

Iadanenchil Koodund
There is a nest within my heart,

Neermathalam Poochoodum Kalam Vannu
The season has come for the flowers in our hearts to bloom,

Yavana Kadhayil Ninnu Vanna Iadayakanyake
O shepherd maiden, straight from a Greek fairy tale,

Yamuna Ozhukum Vanikayile Venu Gayaka
Why do you linger where the wildflowers bloom?
