A song about how a small path opens up for moving forward when you were down with frustrations and failures from the movie Vallikudilile Vellakkaran.

Chillu chillu vaathilpazhuthu onniloode aetho
cheru pon velicham ingu vannu ithaa
[Through the glass loophole of the door, some
small golden light came here]
Melle melle neengaan oru kunju paatha
kaanunnoru pon pratheeksha minnidunnu itha
[To move slowly, a small path
is made visible by a sparkling new hope]
Oro naal aayi kaathidunnu onne, kaivarum vere onne
Kaanaathaaro karuthidum noolil aadum naam paavakalo?
[Each day we waited for a thing, but ended up with something better
Are we puppets who dance on strings controlled by someone invisible?]
Kedaathe naalame nee! vazhi aeraan koode varu
Aaraaro jeevithathil ezhuthunnu ee chaayam itha
[Never go out, hey flame! travel beside me on this path
Someone is painting these colors in my life]
Kinaavin koodu menje ini oru naalekalkku aayi
Ee kaalam kandathu ellam mazha mekham pol maranje
[Weaved a nest of dreams for the coming tomorrows
Everything this era saw disappeared like rain clouds]
Neela neela vaanangalil oadi oadi neengunnoru megham aayi maanasam itha
Doore doore oro puthu theeram undu cheraan athu thediyulla yaathra aanu itha
[In the blue sky, my heart has become a fast moving cloud
Far away there are new shores to reach, this journey is a search for those]
Oro chodil nee ariyunne nin gathi maarum itha
Aashaathaaram mizhi thurakkunne, kooriril maayukayaayi
[At every step, you feel your route keeps changing
The star of hope is opening its eyes, the deep darkness is fading]
Kedaathe naalame nee! vazhi aeraan koode varu
Aaraaro jeevithathil ezhuthunnu ee chaayam itha
[Never go out, hey flame! travel beside me on this path
Someone is painting these colors in my life]
Kinaavin koodu menje ini oru naalekalkku aayi
Ee kaalam kandathu ellam mazha mekham pol maranje
[Weaved a nest of dreams for the coming tomorrows
Everything this era saw disappeared like rain clouds]
Chekkeruvaan tharu shaakhi aayi, iravum pakalum lolam aayi
Maunangalo madhu gaanam aayi kaliyum chiriyum cherave
[We found a tree branch to nest, the days and nights became fragile
Silences became a sweet song when playfulness merged with them]
Niraashayum novum engu maanju poyi?
Pratheeksha than poovu thannu raavu poyi
[Frustrations and pain, where did they disappear?
Gifting a flower of hope, the night moved on]
Viral thodum manju pole, itha nalla kaalam nenjil chillil vannu itha
[Like fog reaching out, the good times are here at the glass pane of the heart]
Kedaathe naalame nee! vazhi aeraan koode varu
Aaraaro jeevithathil ezhuthunnu ee chaayam itha
[Never go out, hey flame! travel beside me on this path
Someone is painting these colors in my life]
Kinaavin koodu menje ini oru naalekalkku aayi
Ee kaalam kandathu ellam mazha mekham pol maranje
[Weaved a nest of dreams for the coming tomorrows
Everything this era saw disappeared like rain clouds]
