Nenjodu Cherthu :

Nenjodu cherthu, pattonnu padan
Pattinte eenam neeyanu
Kaanathe kannil, ariyathe nenjil
Viriyunnu chitram, neeyanu

Nee varu, ee pattin raagamai
Nee tharoo, ee chitram varnamai
Hridayam thookum pranayam
Nalki njanum nila sandhye
Thirike nanayum mizhikal, nalki neeyum engo maanju

Nenjodu cherthu, pattonnu padan
Pattinte eenam neeyanu

Kananai mohangal chirakadikkumbol,
Snehathin kaattayi nee enne thalodi
Mizhiyile mozhiyilum ninmugham mathramai
Kanavile kannilum nin niram mathram
Maayalle akale akale akale

Nenjodu cherthu, pattonnu padan
pattinte eenam neeyanu

Chollanai kavyangal ezhuthiyathellam
Nin chundil pookkunna hindolamayi
Aazhiyum maariyum nin swaram mathrameki
Ninavile nizhalilum ninte nishwasam
Thedunnu arikil nee innivide

Nenjodu cherthu, pattonnu padan
Pattinte eenam neeyanu
Kanathe kannil, uhuhooohuhu…
Viriyunnu chitram, uhuhoohuhu….









English:


With you close to my heart, I shall sing a song
The tune of that song, it's you
The unseen picture in my eyes
The one that came unkowingly to my heart
It's yours
Oh come as the music of the song
Oh colour my picture of yours

Moonlit dusk, I gave you my heart overflowing with love
And giving me tearful eyes, you vanished!

With you close to my heart, I shall sing a song
The tune of that song, it's you
The unseen picture in my eyes
The one that came unkowingly to my heart
It's yours

[Dialogue between the boy and girl]

When my wings of desire to see began to take flight,
You caressed me as a breeze of love,
Even in the voice of my eyes there was only you,
The view of my dreams, were coloured by you..
Oh don't go away, away, away

With you close to my heart, I shall sing a song
The tune of that song, it's you
The unseen picture in my eyes
The one that came unkowingly to my heart
It's yours

All the poems I wrote to recite
Blossomed into the ripples of your lips
Slowly, it changed to your voice
Even in the shadows of my dreams
There is only your breath
I search for you beside me,
But where are you today?

With you close to my heart, I shall sing a song
The tune of that song, it's you
The unseen picture in my eyes
The one that came unkowingly to my heart
It's yours

[Dialogue between the boy and girl]
