Thoda thoda...

A gentle song from the movie Indira...

Thoda thoda malarnthathenna poove?
Thottavanai maranthathenna?
Parvaigal puthitha?
Sparisangal puthitha?
Mazhai vara bhoomi maruppadhenna?

O flower, why did you bloom at my touch?
Why did you forget the one who touched you?
Are these gazes new to you?
Are these caresses new to you?
Why is the earth barring the rain to shower?

Thoda thoda...

Antha ila vayathil attrankarai manalil
Kaaladi thadam pathitthom yaaraditthar?
Nanthavana karayil nattu vaittha sediyil
Mottu vitta muthar poovai yaar paritthar?

Who beat us when we walked on the river banks as little children?
Who plucked those first flowers that bloomed on the shores of Nandavana?

Kathalan theendaatha pookkalil then illai
Idaiveli thaandaathe en vasam naan illai...

There lies no honey in the flowers untouched by the lover
Cross not your limit - 'coz am not mine anymore...

Thoda thoda malarnthathenna poove?
Chuda chuda nanainthathenna?
Parvaigal puthithu
Sparisangal puthithu
Narambukal pinna pinna nadukkam enna?

O flower, why did you bloom at my touch?
Why did you get drenched in the rain?
The gazes are new to me
The caresses are new to me
Why do I quiver as our nerves intertwine? (as you hold my hands)

Pani thanil kulittha paal mugham kaana
Irupathu vasanthangal vizhi valartthen
Pasitthavan amudham parugida thaane
Pathinezhu vasanthangal ithal valartthen

My eyes waited for twenty years
To see the milky (sweet) face of yours, washed by the dew drops
I grew up for seventeen years
To serve nectar to your hungry soul

Ilai moodum malaraaga ithayatthai maraikkathe
Malar kollum kaatraaka ithayatthai ulukkathe

Don't hide your heart like a flower hidden by a leaf -
Don't shake my heart like a flower caught in the wind

Thoda thoda...
