Aayiram Kann

Aayiram kannumai kaathirunnu ninne jnaan
Ennil ninnum parannakannoru paingili malar thenkili

(Aayiram)

Manju veenatharinjilla veyil vannupoyatharinjilla
(Manju)
Omale nee varum naalumenniyirunnu jnaan
Vannu nee vannu ninnu nee ende janma saaphalyame
Vannu nee vannu ninnu nee ende janma saaphalyame

(Aayiram)

Thennal ummakalekiyo kunju thumbi thamburu meettiyo
Ullile maamayil neelappeelikal veeshiyo
(Thennalum)
Ende ormayil poothu ninnoru manja mandhaarame
Ennil ninnum parannu poyoru jeeva chaithanyame

Thousand Eyes

Thousand eyes waited, my love, to see you
A humming bird, a southern breeze, flying away from me

(Thousand)

Like the descent of a gentle breeze, or the warmth of the sun
(Gentle)
Every day I waited for you to come to me, my love
You came, you came, to make my life complete
You came, you came, to make my life complete

(Thousand)

Is it the southern breeze that kisses you, or a tiny bee playing the tanpura?
My heart is like a peacock shedding its blue feathers
(Southern breeze)
In my memory, a golden champaka blooms for you
From me, you take flight, my love, my very life force
