Minnatholi Ninte lyrics English Translation

Minnatholi Ninte Jannathithu Thanne
Chundathuthirum Punjiri
Thankathikavalle Thinkalkala Ninne
Kandethiyathalle Kani

(The sparkling glow — this heaven itself is yours,
The smile that blooms on your lips…
Are you not the golden radiance, the crescent moon’s grace
That I finally found, my treasure…)

Oruvari Njaan Moolidam Ee Pallavi
Ithuvare Nee Kettidaathee Thenmozhi
Nee Thanna Raavil Aa Neela Vaanil
Urangathirunnere Njaan
Shararanthalaay Nee Theliyunnu Khalbil
Kanavinte Kadaveri Njaan

(Let me hum a line — this refrain,
A honeyed voice you’ve never heard till now.
On the night you gave me, in that blue sky,
I stayed awake for so long…
Like a shooting flame you shine in my heart,
I crossed into the shores of dreams.)

Thennum Thalir Mulle Thellonnulayalle
Ennum Neeyalle Kani
Manjum Mazhapole Enjum Athilole
Nee Chernnirunnal Mathi

(O tender jasmine bud, sway just a little,
You are always my blessing.
Like mist and rain, soft and gentle —
It’s enough if you stay with me.)

Iruvazhiye Naampokum Ee Neernadhi
Iniyithile Porumo Enpoonkani
Neeyum Ini Njaanum Kaanan Kothi Thonnum
Raavinte Pulpaayayil
Aa Raavum Laavum Kaana Kinavum
Onnakuvaan Porunee

(Along two paths we walk — this flowing river,
Will you journey with me further, my flower-eyed one?
Now you and I long to meet
On the grassy bed of night…
That night, its warmth, and unseen dreams —
Come, let them become one…)

Nee Ishkin Raagmaay Ragam Eenamaayi
Eenam Ardra Gaanamaayi
Njaan Khalbin Jaalakam Melle Chaaridaam
Chaare Nee Varum Vare

(You… as the melody of love, the tune, the harmony,
The harmony becoming a tender song…
I… will slowly close the window of my heart
Until you come near…)

Nee Ishkin Raagmaay Ragam Eenamaayi
Eenam Ardra Gaanamaayi
Njaan Khalbin Jaalakam Melle Chaaridaam
Chaare Nee Varum Vare

(You… as the melody of love, the tune, the harmony,
The harmony becoming a tender song…
I… will slowly close the window of my heart
Until you come near…)

Minnatholi Ninte Jannathithu Thanne
Chundathuthirum Punjiri
Manjum Mazhapole Enjum Athilole
Nee Chernnirunnal Mathi

(That sparkling glow — this heaven itself is yours,
The smile that blooms on your lips…
Like mist and rain, soft and gentle —
It’s enough if you stay with me.)

Will you come along with me, my flower-eyed one?
On the night you gave me, in that blue sky,
I stayed awake for long…)

Aa Raavum Laavum Kaana Kinavum
Onnakuvaan Porunee.

(That night, its warmth, and unseen dreams —
Come, let them become one…)
