oru maathra veruthe ninachu poyi

Raathri mazha peythu thornna neram,
kulir kaattil ilacharthu ulanja neram
[When the night rain stopped falling
when the cluster of leaves quivered in the cold breeze]
Ittittu veezhum neer thulli than sangeetham
hruthanthikalil padarnna neram
[When the music of water droplets falling (from the leaves)
spread on the strings of (my) heart]
Kaathara aaya oru pakshi en jaalaka
vaathilin chaare chilacha neram
vaathilin chaare chilacha neram
[When a timid bird, near my window…
…pane, cried]
Oru maathra veruthe ninachu poyi
[For a moment (I) thought in vain]

Arikil, nee undaayirunnu enkil ennu njaan
oru maathra veruthe ninachu poyi
[Near me, if you were there, I..

Muttathu njan natta chembaka thaiyyile
aadhyathe mottu virinja naalil
[In the yard, on that chembaka sapling that I planted
when the first flower bud blossomed]
Snigdhamaam aarudeyo mudi chaarthilen
mugdha sankalpam thalodi nilkke
[On someone’s smooth bunch of hair
when my innocent imagination caresses]
Aetho puraathana prema kadhayile
geethikal ennil chirakadikke
geethikal ennil chirakadikke
[When some ancient love story’s
songs flap their wings in me]
Oru maathra veruthe ninachupoyi
[For a moment (I) thought in vain]

Arikil, nee undaayirunnu enkil ennu njaan
oru maathra veruthe ninachu poyi
[Near me, if you were there, I..
…for a moment thought in vain]
Oru maathra veruthe ninachu poyi
[For a moment (I) thought in vain]
