Antha Naalil Anthi Neram

A slow, soft and heart-warming Tamil song from the Malayalam movie "Pattam Pole"

Beautiful lyrics, great music and lovely voices!! I have been listening to this song in a loop now :) :)

Music By M. Jayachandran, Sung by Madhu Balakrishnan and Harini

Hope you like the lyrics and translation, as much as I do!!

Kolusukal kuyilena paaduthadi
Kai valayalkal pesuthadi
Iru manam oru manam aagumadi
Intha thirumanam vanthathadi

Anklets are singing like a cuckoo, 
Bangles are talking too!
Two minds will be united to one -
For, this marriage ceremony is here!

Antha naalil anthi neram
Unnai paarthen kannamma

On that day, at dusk -
I saw you my love! ("kannamma" -  a sweet name to address a (female) loved one)

Antha paarvai ondru pothum
Enna vendum en kanna?

That one sight is enough -
What more can you ask for, my love? ("kanna" - a sweet name to address a (male) loved one)

Konjam neram konji pesa
Nenjil ekkam kannamma

To have some sweet talk - 
My heart yearns, kannamma

Antha naalil anthi neram
Unnai paarthen en kanna

On that day, at dusk -
I saw you, my kanna!

Pookkal pootthu kaaytha solai
Vara vendum en kanna
Unthan tholil saynth thoongum
Varam vendum en kanna

A field full of blossoms and fruits
Should be here, my kanna
To lie down on your shoulders and sleep -
That's the boon I want, my kanna

Manamedai malar vaasam
Nammai thedi varum neram
Parandhodum nenjame

The smell from the flowers adorning the marriage dais -
As it comes in search of us - 
The heart just slips away...

Uyir endra ghadikaaram 
Unnaal odum kannamma
Nodi neram pirinthaalum
Nindru pokum en kanna

The clock of life
Runs because of you, kannamma
If we are separated even for a moment,
It would come to a stop, my kanna

(Humming)

Kaatril pokum megham pola
Unnal aanen en kanna
Neeril aadum vaanam pola
Nenjil neeye en kanna

Like the cloud than runs with the wind -
You have made me, my kanna
Like the sky that dances in the water -
(This is my favorite line - it refers to the reflection of the sky in water)
You fill my heart, my kanna

Athi kaalai pani kaalam
Azhakaka theru kolam
Paripokum nenjame

At dawn, in the mist -
O! the beautiful rangolis on the street...
I lose my heart there

Antha naalil anthi neram
Aasai konden kannamma

On that day, at dusk
I fell in love, kannamma!
