Kannetha Dooram

(Translation on request for K04)
A song about a tear filled farewell to someone you never stopped loving from the movie Joseph.

Kannetha dooram nee maayunnu aethetho theerangalil
Ullamkai nin kayyil cherumbol kaalangal pinvaangiyo?
[You disappear at a distance where the eyes don’t reach, on some random shores
When my palms join yours, did the years retreat?]
Kanal aayi maarunnu mounam, ini illa ee mannil onnum
Nenjoram nee maathram, uyire…iniyum…
[Silences are turning into embers, nothing remains for me on this earth now
Beside my heart, it is only you, my life… from now on…]

Vidhoore…nilaa thaaram aayi nee mizhi chimmi ninneedumo?
Varaam njaan…ninakaayi orikkal nee ulla lokangalil
[Far away…will you stand by blinking like a star of moonbeams?
I’ll come…for you one day, in whichever worlds you are in]
Varum neram ennodu chaerenam en jeevane nee
Athu illaathe vayyen nenjoram nee maathram, uyire…iniyum…
[At the time I arrive, you should join me, my soul
I cannot do without that, beside my heart, it is only you, my life…from now on…]

Thalodum…thaniche irikke nee neytha manju ormakal
Vilolam…manasinte thaalil nee peytha neerthullikal
[They caress…when I sit alone, those snowy dreams you had weaved
They tremble…on the leaf of my heart, those droplets you had showered down]
Varum janmam en paathi meyyaayi maareedanam nee
Athu illaathe vayyen nenjoram nee maathram, uyire…iniyum…
[In coming births too, you should be become my other half
I cannot do without that, beside my heart, it is only you, my life…from now on…]

Kanneeral nin chundil ponmutham kaanaathe nee yaathra aayi
Kaikumbil thookunna mannaale moodunnu nin thoomukham
[Without seeing the last kiss on your lips with my tears, you started your journey
With a handful of soil I tossed, your beautiful face gets covered]
Niravode nee thannu ellam, athu maathram aanu ente swantham
nenjoram nee mathram, uyire…iniyum…
[You gave me everything with repletion, those are the only things I own
beside my heart, it is only you, my life…from now on…]
