Singer – KJ Yesudas
Lyrics – ONV Kurup
Composition – Vidyadharan master
Prelude – Paduvanai Vannu Ninte is a song which has captivated me by its literary charm for a long time . The song composed in raag Hamsadhwani brings forth the sweetness of the spring season .
Paduvanayi vannu ninte padivathilkkal
I came to your gate to sing.
Chaitra shri padangal pookkal thorum lasyam adumbol
The spring season is gracefully dancing with auspicious steps on the flowers.
Ethu ragam sruthi thalam ennath orkathe
Njan aa veenayil ponezha paki mittidunaro
Someone is plucking the lute's golden strings , not thinking about the melody , pitch and beats of the rhythmic cycle.
Gangana neelimayil neenthedum odivile kiliyum
mannu
The last bird flying high up in the blue sky has returned home .
Vijanamam vazhi ambalathil pathikan anayunnu
The travellers arrive at the desolate roadside inn at dusk.
Madhuram ennalum shoka vidhuram oru ganam
Janma smrithi thadangal thazuki ethi ettu padi
njan
I sang along to a sweet yet sad song from afar. It stroked the shores of my memories from many lifetimes.
Puthumazha kuliril punilam uzhata madhakam
gandham
Vazhiyumi vazhi vanna kattai lahari nukarumbol
The fallow land filled the air with the fragrance of virgin earth after the first rain. The intoxicating smell of the virgin earth spilt out and kissed the breeze that came that way.
Nimisha pathrathil aar ee amruthu pakarunnu
Ennum ivide nilkkan anuvadikku paduvan mathram
I don’t know who is spreading this nectar in my body within moments . Please allow me to always stand here and sing .
Postlude – The lyrics by ONV Kurup explore the revelry of the spring season. The lyrics are about a singer who is travelling through life reminiscing about the memories of the past lifetimes . The singer considers himself lucky to experience the vagaries of nature, which are like nectar to him .
