Parayuvaan ithadhyamai
As the lines1 fade away
Varikal maaye
for the first time to speak of
Mizhikalil orayiram
It is like there are
Mazhavil pole
a thousand rainbows in my eyes2
Shalabhamaai parannoral
Someone will fly as a butterfly
Arikil cherum
and come beside me
Pathiye njan thodunnathum
But as I touch her softly
Avalo maayum
she will fade
Theeraathe ullil ini ila manjin choodu
The light fog's warmth remains inside still
Noorode ninte chirakini
Hundred are the pretty feathers
Cheluvum thoovalu
of your wing;
Neeyum njanum pande
You and me, we were since forever,
Pande povum vandum
since forever the flower and the beetle;
Then kanangal pinangum
The time when the nectar drops sparkle
Neram pinneyum
is once again here
Parayuvaan ithadhyamai
As the lines fade away
Varikal maaye
for the first time to speak of
Mizhikalil orayiram
It is like there are
Mazhavil pole
a thousand rainbows in the eyes
Shalabhamaai parannoral
Someone will fly as a butterfly
Arikil cherum
and come beside me
Pathiye njan thodunnathum
But as I touch her softly
Avalo maayum
she will fade
Mothiram kai maaran
To exchange rings
Manasaale moolunnu
I whisper my consent
Thaarakal minnunnu
The stars sparkle
Ini nooru nooraayiram
a hundred, a hundred thousand now
oru pookalam kankalil aadunnu
A springtime of flowers sway in my eyes
Ravetho venmathiyavunnu
The night becomes a white river,
Kinaavukal thuzhanju naam
Are we rowing our dreams
doore dooreyo
far, far away,
Nilaavithal menanjora
Searching for that nest
Koodu thediyo ooo
shaped from the leaves of moonlight
Parayuvaan ithadhyamai
As the lines fade away
Varikal maaye
for the first time to speak of
Mizhikalil orayiram
It is like there are
Mazhavil pole
a thousand rainbows in the eyes
Shalabhamaai parannoral
Someone will fly as a butterfly
Arikil cherum
and come beside me
Pathiye njan thodunnathum
But as I touch her softly
Avalo maayum
she will fade
