Sundara Ravanan Lyrics English Translation

Maayaa Ravanane
Manmada Mohana Sundarane
Lanka Paalakane Sevaka Naayakane
Raghuveeraa Raghavane
Vambodu Porinu Vannavane
Neeyo Paakkaname Vaanara Sanchithane

[O magical Ravana,
The handsome one who enchants like Manmatha, the god of love,
The ruler of Lanka, the leader of servants,
O brave Raghuveera, O Raghava,
You have come boldly to the battlefield,
You must be seen, O mighty one surrounded by the Vanara warriors.]

Ohoo Aakaashaththe Thiriyum Bhoogolathe
Kanalin Theenaalaththe
Kadalin Neraazhaththe
Idiminnal Vegaththil Maattunnone
Kaattin Chirakullone Poril Padarunnone
Ambara Thaaraka Sambhavanaayaka
Nalloru Kaavalane
Shanmukhapoojitha Shankarasevakha
Sundara Ravanane

[Oh, you who can turn the revolving globe in the sky,
The blazing flames of fire,
And the deepest depths of the ocean,
You who can transform everything at the speed of thunder and lightning,
You have wings like the wind and spread across the battlefield,
O leader who brings gifts from the celestial stars,
You are a wonderful protector,
Worshipped by Shanmukha and a devoted servant of Shankara,
O handsome Ravana.]

Pattunde Padayunde Padayalunde
Nin Koottunde Thanalunde
Nalloru Kavalane
Anbaane Arulaane Azhakezhaane
Nee Ninnalo Balamane Sundaranaravanane

[You have songs, an army and warriors,
You have companions and their protective shade,
You are a wonderful guardian,
You are loving, gracious and exceptionally beautiful,
When you stand by us, we gain strength, O handsome Ravana.]

Hum Haro Haro Haro Hara
Hum Haro Haro Haro Hara
Hum Haro Haro Haro Hara

[Chanting the sacred invocation of Hara (Lord Shiva).]

Mani Manchlilerana Manjula Roopini Maale
Kunnu Kurumbu Koruththa Koottalle Nee
Chiri Chembaka Chendonnu Chankilu Choodana Chele
Eri Theeyellam Thenaakki nee

[O beautiful garland, with a charming form, riding in a precious palanquin,
Aren’t you the one who brings together playful mischief and joy?
O beauty, whose smile is like a bunch of golden champaka flowers worn close to the heart,
You turn even blazing fire into honey.]

Maayaa Ravanane Manmada Mohana Sundarane
Lanka Paalakane Sevaka Naayakane

Neeyo Paakkaname Vaanara Sanchithane

[O magical Ravana, the handsome one who enchants like Manmatha,
The ruler of Lanka, the leader of servants,
O brave Raghuveera, O Raghava,

[The one who took up the mighty weapon and crushed the enemy ranks,
The one who shattered the opposing forces,
Using clever strategies and overcoming every obstacle,
The graceful Ravana who fought bravely in battle,
You are a wonderful protector who lovingly stands by everyone,
O handsome Ravana,
The devoted servant of Shankara, worshipped by his attendants,
O handsome Ravana.
You are a wonderful protector who lovingly stands by everyone,
The devoted servant of Shankara, worshipped by his attendants,
O handsome Ravana.]

You are here as the wind and the ocean,
You are far away as the rain and the mountain,
You are near as truth and as a shadow.]
