Pookkal, Panineer pookkal

Biju takes some time out of his hectic career in law enforcement to meet Benitta while she is in his city for her artwork exhibition. They are two people in the new age going the traditional way of arranged marriage. The song has a 80’s – 90’s nostalgic feel to it which brings that contrast in forefront.

Pookkal, panineer pookkal
Neeyum kaanunnundo
[Flowers, fragrant flowers
Are you seeing them too?]
Eenam, kilithan eenam
Neeyum kelkunnundo
[Tune, the sweet tune of birds
Are you hearing them too?]

Vannu naam randalum
Iru vazhiye ivide vare
[We came …
on two paths, this far]
Porenam nee koode
Ini ozhukam oru vazhiye
[Now you have come to with me…
let us flow as a single stream]

Pookkal, panineer pookkal
Neeyum kaanunnundo
[Flowers, fragrant flowers
Are you seeing them too?]

Ee vazhiye varum, narumazhayum ilaveyilum
Ee vani muzhuvan himam aniyum, ila pozhiyum
[In this path, may come, beautiful rain and soft sunlight
This woods may be covered in snow and leaves may fall]
Ithu vazhi poyeedum…rithu palathennalum(2)
[This way, may advance…different seasons]
Maanasamake nammal neyyum vasantham
Maayaruthengum…mayaaruthengum
[This beautiful spring we weave in our minds
Should never fade…should never fade]
Mayaaruthengum…mayaaruthengum
[Should never fade…should never fade]

Pookkal, panineer pookkal
Neeyum kaanunnundo
[Flowers, fragrant flowers
Are you seeing them too?]
Eenam, kilithan eenam
Neeyum kelkunnundo
[Tune, the sweet tune of birds
Are you hearing them too?]

Vannu naam randalum
Iru vazhiye ivide vare
[We came …
on two paths, this far]
Porenam nee koode
Ini ozhukam oru vazhiye
[Now you have come to with me…
let us flow as a single stream]

Pookkal, panineer pookkal
Neeyum kaanunnundo
[Flowers, fragrant flowers
Are you seeing them too?]
