Chembarathi | LiL Payyan | Song Lyrics Translation

Thannani Naane Nanane
Just a rhythmic phrase with no fixed meaning

Enthoru Chantha Kaanaane, Enthoru Chanthulla Poovane.
What a beautiful face you have, what a lovely flower-like girl you are.

Ariyathoru Jeevithamane, Athil Avaloru Thaarakamaane
Life was something I didn’t understand, and in it, she became a star.

Irula Oru Paathayaayalum, Velicham Nee Thannille Chellakkili.
Even if the path was dark, you gave me light, dear girl.

Ini Nee Ente Kaathalumaane, Ini Neeyoru Kaavalumaane
Now you are my love, now you are also my protection.

Chuduviral Korthu Kaathil Pathiyumbol, Konjalle Kollalle Ponnumkili.
When our warm fingers join and you whisper in my ear, don’t tease me too much, dear girl.

Nee Poya Enakkinnu Aaru? Nee Thaanaa Enakkinnu Paaru
If you leave, who do I have? Tell me, aren’t you the one for me?

Vaa Moodi Mizhiyilu Paaru, Nee Thaanaa Enakkinnu Paaru
Come close, look into my closed eyes, aren’t you the one for me?

Chembarathi Nalla Chembarathi, Chandana Manavum Avale Parathi
She is like a bright hibiscus flower, spreading a sandalwood fragrance.

Chenthaamarayum Cherum Pennoruthi, Chenkavilorathu Chiri Parathi.
She is like a red lotus too, spreading a smile on her red cheeks.

Nalla Penpirannolente Pennoruthi
She is a good woman, the one who belongs to me.

Avalude Chiri Enteyullil Manjurukki
Her smile melted the ice inside my heart.

Avalude Chiri Enne Melle Mayakki.
Her smile slowly enchanted me.

Nalla Sundari Kothaval Ennilethi
A beautiful girl came into my life.

Avalude Chiri Enteyullil Manjurukki
Her smile melted the ice inside my heart.

Avalude Chiri Enne Melle Mayakki.
Her smile slowly enchanted me.

Nee Poya Enakinnu Aaru, Nee Thana Enakinnu Paaru
If you leave, who do I have? Aren’t you the one for me?

Vaa Moodi Mizhiyilu Paaru, Nee Thana Enakkinnu Paaru.
Come close and look into my eyes, aren’t you the one for me?
