Eatho Nidrathan - Ayal Katha Ezhuthukayanu

Singer - K J Yesudas 

Lyrics - Kaithapram 

Composition - Raveendran 

Prelude –Eatho Nidrathan song forms an important part of my childhood when I was in 5th standard . I still remember the comedy scenes in this movie with Sreenivasan at his satirical best,which I watched in a movie theater . One of the mellowest Raga Mohanam takes us through the repentance of the character of Vidyasagar for not having understood the integrity of the girl Priyadarshini .

 



Etho Nidrathan Ponmayilppeeliyil...
Ezhu Varnnangalum Neerthi

When I was asleep , a dream appeared , which was spread like the seven hues of a peacock feather

Thalirila Thumbil Ninnuthirum

Mazhayude Ekaantha Sangeethamay

The water drops dripping from the tip of the budding leaves produced the music of rain's solitude. 

Mridhu Padhamode..Madhu Manthramode

Annennarikil..Vannuvennoo..

You walked towards me with soft footsteps accompanied by the sweet honeyed hymns . 

Enthe ..Njaanarinjeela..Njaaanarinjeelaa..

Why didn’t I realize it was you ?


Aa Vazhiyorathu.. annaardramaam Sandhyayil
Aaavanippoovaay Nee Ninnuvenno...

You stood as an Aavani (Malayalam month of chingam, when the onam festival is celebrated, which falls between August and September ) flower on that wet evening by the roadside. 

Kurunira Thazhukiya Kaattinodannu Nin
Ullam Thurannuvenno

You opened the feelings of your heart to the breeze, which stroked your curly hair. 

Arumayaam Aa Moha Ponthoovalokkeyum

Pranayanilaavay Pozhinjuvenno

The dear desired golden feathers shed into the moonlight of love. The hidden desire and feelings are the golden feathers she held onto . They manifested in the form of love,which scattered like moonlight . 

Enthe..Njaanarinjeela..Njaaanarinjeelaa..

Why didn’t I realize it was you ?


Ee Mulam Thandil..Churannoren Paattukal
Paalazhiyay Nenjil Nirachuvenno..

The music that came from the bamboo reed filled your heart like the ocean of milk

Athiloorumamrutha Kanangal Korthu Nee
Annum Kaathirunnenno

You waited for me after making a necklace by stringing drops of nectar, which emerged from the ocean of milk. 


Akathaaril Kurukiya Venpraakkalokkeyum
Anuraaga Dhoothumay Parannuvenno..

The white pigeons, which made a cooing sound in your heart, flew away carrying the message of love . 

Enthe ..Njaanarinjeela..Njaaanarinjeelaa..

Why didn’t I realize it was you ?

Postlude – Kaithapram has used the mythological story of the churning of the ocean to write the lyrics of the song . The song arising from the flute is compared to the ocean of milk filling the heart .  Only Kaithapram can imagine the heroine of the movie waiting for the hero by stringing drops of nectar to make a necklace . I am in a state of awe whenever I listen to this song .  Just like Kaithapram had recurrently used the theme of nectar , this song will remain immortal in the hearts of all music lovers .
