Ilam Manjin

(Translation on request for MP & HJ)
A song about how love is a cozy feeling like a bird nesting in the heart form the movie Ninnishtam Ennishtam.

Ilam manjin kulirum aayi oru kuyil
idam nenjil koodu koottunna sukham
[A cuckoo with a pleasing chill of light fog
the comfort of it making a nest in the chest]
Hrudhaya muraliyil pulaka mela than
raagam bhaavam thaalam, raagam bhaavam thaalam
[On the heart’s flute there is a tingling gala of
music, expression and beats]

Ilam manjin kulirum aayi oru kuyil
idam nenjil koodu koottunna sukham

the comfort of it making a nest in the chest]
Hrudhaya muraliyil pulaka mela than
raagam bhaavam thaalam, raagam bhaavam thaalam
[On the heart’s flute there is a tingling gala of
music, expression and beats]

Chiraku idunna kinaakkalil, ithal virinja sumangalil,
Chiraku idunna kinaakkalil, ithal virinja sumangalil,
[In the dreams growing wings, in the flowers extending petals,]
niram aninja manonjamaam kavitha neytha vikaaram aayi
nee ente jeevanil unaroo deva…
[as a feeling weaved by a beautiful poem adorned in color
please wake up in my soul, my lord]

music, expression and beats]

Chamayam aarna manassile chaaru sreekovil nadakalil
Chamayam aarna manassile chaaru sreekovil nadakalil
[In the beautiful temple steps of the decorated heart]
thozhuthu unarnna prabhaatham aayi ozhuki vanna manohari
nee ente praananil nirayu devi…
[hey beauty who came flowing in like a rousing prayerful morning
Please fill in my soul, my goddess]

Ilam manjin kulirum aayi oru kuyil
idam nenjil koodu koottunna sukham

the comfort of it making a nest in the chest]
