Thanaanaana naane…Naa naane
Thanaanaana naane…Naa naane

Neelakasham… alivayi neele..
Manasin mazhayil alayaay, njan doore…
[The blue sky…is spread out kindly
In my mind’s drizzle like a wave, I’m far away…]
Ethetho mekham pole…alayunnu, moham thedi…
[Like a cloud…(I’m) drifting, searching for wishes…]

Thanaanaana naane…Naa naane

Maaya valayam nirangalaal nilkumee, kaalam mounamaayi…
[Standing with magic rings of colors, the time stays silent…]

Thana nanna naane naane…
Thana nanna naane naane naane…naanaane

Maayaathe munnil nilkum neeyo?…
Kaanaathe ninnil minnum njaano?…
[Are you before me without fading?…
Am I flashing in you invisibly?…]
Paadunne nenjil thattum aaro…
Aadunne thaalam thedi njaano? njaano?…
[Someone is singing a soulful song…
And am I dancing to those tunes?…]
