Sandhye…kanneer ithenthe, sandhye?
[Hey dusk…why these tears, dusk?]
Snehamayi, kezhukayaano neeyum?
[Hey the one filled with love, are you also beseeching?]
Nin mukham pol, nombaram pol, nilppu rajanigandhi
[Like your face, like pain, is this tuberose at night]

Muthu korkkum pole vishaadha…
…susmitham nee choodi, veendum ethukille naale?
[Like pearls strung together, this sad…
…smile, wearing this won’t you come tomorrow again?]
Muthu korkkum pole vishaadha
susmitham nee choodi veendum ethukille naale?
[Like pearls strung together, this sad…
…smile, wearing this won’t you come tomorrow again?]
Hrudayam aetho pranaya shoka kadhakal veendum paadum
Veendum thaalam aettu paadum…
[The heart will sing some sorrowful love stories again
the (heart)beats will repeat those…]

Sandhye…kanneer ithenthe, sandhye?

Dukhame nee poku, kedaatha
nithya thaaraa jaalam pole kathumee anuraagam
[Hey misery go away, like a never extinguishing
eternal galaxy, is this burning love]
Dukhame nee poku, kedaatha

Maraname nee vareeka ente pranaya gaanam kelkku,
neeyum aettupaadaan poru

you also come to sing with me]
