Translation of the song Paalthira Paadum artist Shreya Ghoshal
Paalthira Paadum
The Milky Waves Sing
Naare Naare na…
Naare Naare na…
Paal thira paadum…
Is it on the white coast,
Ven Theerathil aanoo…
where the milky waves sing...
Kaalangal Paayum…
or is it on the earthen path
Manpaathayil aano…
where the eons hurry past,
Kaaladii… Paadukall…
foot prints
Velivaayii…
were revealed
Nirukil… Aniyaan…
I am eager to wear it
Kothiyaaayii…
upon my forhead...1
Oorkathe… Kanmunnill..
You came before me
Ni Vanuu….
unexpectedly
Kaanathee… Kelkathee…
I stood there,
Njan Ninnuu…
not seeing, not hearing
Arike… Arike…
Even though you
Priyanee… Ni undennalumm…
are near me my dear...
Paal thira paadum…
Is it on the white coast,
Ven Theerathil aanoo…
where the milky waves sing...
Kaalangal Paayum…
or is it on the earthen path
Manpaathayil aano…
where the eons hurry past,
Aalunitho…
Is it flaring up,
Ullile Naalamm…
the flame inside...
Moodunithoo…
Is it covering up,
Kannili Mounam…
this silence in the eyes...
Verengu pooyii…
Not knowing where else to go
Aliyaanariyathe…
to merge...
Cherunithaa…
I join you, ocean,
Kadalee.. Nadiyayi njan..
as a river...
Pirakee.. Pirakee.. Varavaayii…
behind, behind, I come...
Piriyan.. Kazhiyaa…
...like an inseparable
Nizhalayii…
shadow
Paal thira paadum…
Is it on the white coast,
Ven Theerathil aanoo…
where the milky waves sing...
Kaalangal Paayum…
or is it on the earthen path
Manpaathayil aano…
where the eons hurry past,
Dhoorangalill…
In the distance
Kaatupoll.. Paarii…
you flew like the wind
Snehathinaal…
becoming
Manjuneerayu, nii…
a mist of love
Njan ithra naall,
You are the pleasant coolness
Ariya kulire nee…
I didn't know until today
Vaathilkalayuu…
You are the flower
Viriyum malaraayi nii…
blooming at my doorstep
Karalin.. Chimizhill…
Filling my
Pathiyee… yee..
heart2
Pakarum.. Madhuvayii…
like slowly poured
Nirayee….
nectar
Paal thira paadum…
Is it on the white coast,
Ven Theerathil aanoo…
where the milky waves sing...
Kaalangal Paayum…
or is it on the earthen path
Manpaathayil aano…
where the eons hurry past
Oooo…. Ooo….
Oooo…. Ooo….
