O Ponthoovalaayi

A light and breezy song about seeing world in a new light from the movie Ee Adutha Kaalathu.

To listen to the song, scroll to the end.

O…Ponthooval aayi aalolam njaan meyum vaanidangal
O…Kunjolam aayi saamodam njaan thedum saagarangal
[As a golden feather I will softly graze around the skies
Like a small wave I will gladly search for oceans]

O…En moham aayi kaattupaaya nernnidunnu ithaa!
O…En mounam aayi neettiloode aadiyaadi theeram thaedi oadi
[Look how my desire is setting a sail!
Quietly, it runs on the water swaying and searching for shore]

O…Ponthooval aayi aalolam njaan meyum vaanidangal
O…Kunjolam aayi saamodam njaan thedum saagarangal
[As a golden feather I will softly graze around the skies
Like a small wave I will gladly search for oceans]

+Fasana yeh yaarana
ya azaadi ka taraana
[Is it a love story, this friendship,
or a music note of freedom?]

Soorya naalam aettu ithaa thilakkamaarnnu
pookkalum kinaakkalum..vilola neela shalabham pol
[Catching sun’s rays, they glow…
the flowers and dreams, like a fluttering blue butterfly… ]
paaruka aayi njaan ithile poyppoya swargangal nedaan aayi
[..I’m flying this way to win back my heavens lost]
Kaarmukile ninnudalil paalunna thoominnal njaanalle?
[Hey rain cloud, aren’t I the lightning which strikes your body?]

+Fasana yeh yaarana
Ya azaadi ka taraana
[Is it a love story, this friendship,
or a music note of freedom?]

O…Ponthooval aayi aalolam njaan meyum vaanidangal
O…Kunjolam aayi saamodam njaan thedum saagarangal
[As a golden feather I will softly graze around the skies
Like a small wave I will gladly search for oceans]

Chandrane thodaan itha pathukke vannu…
[To touch the moon, came softly…]
kaikal neetti nilkkum ee vishaada mooka raavinte
aelelam… chelelam…minnunna polthaaram njaan alle?
[this sad silent night which extended its arms, of which,
aren’t I the beautiful golden twinkling star?]
Jaalakame, nin virikal paarunna kaattu ente paattu alle?
[Hey window, isn’t the breeze which flutters your curtains my song?]

+Fasana yeh yaarana
Ya azaadi ka taraana
[Is it a love story, this friendship,
Or a music note of freedom?]

O… Ponthooval aayi aalolam njaan meyum vaanidangal
O… Kunjolam aayi saamodam njaan thedum saagarangal
[As a golden feather I will softly graze around the skies
Like a small wave I will gladly search for oceans]

O…En moham aayi kaattupaaya nernnidunnu ithaa!
O…En mounam aayi neettiloode aadiyaadi theeram thaedi oadi
[Look how my desire is setting a sail!
Quietly, it runs on the water swaying and searching for shore]

O… Ponthooval aayi aalolam njaan meyum vaanidangal
O… Kunjolam aayi saamodam njaan thedum saagarangal
[As a golden feather I will softly graze around the skies
Like a small wave I will gladly search for oceans]

+Fasana yeh yaarana
ya azaadi ka taraana
[Is it a love story, this friendship,
or a music note of freedom?]
