Enthinu Vere Oru Suryodayam - Mazha Ethum Munpe

Enthinu Vere Oru Sooryodayam – Mazha Ethum Munpe

Composition – Raveendran

Lyrics – Kaithapram

Singer – KJ Yesudas , KS Chitra

Prelude – The song “ Enthinu Vere Oru Sooryodayam “ is known for its poignancy among the cinegoers of Kerala . The song caught my attention when my father mentioned it to me the other day . The film is a classic in itself which was released when I was in 2nd standard in 1995 . At that young age, I couldn't comprehend the utopian love between the characters Nandakumar Varma and Uma Maheshwari , portrayed by Mammootty and Shobana, respectively . 


Enthinu vere oru sooryodayam

Why do I need another sunrise ?

Enthinu vere oru sooryodayam , nee en pon usha sandhya elle

Why do I need another sunrise when you are my own sweet daybreak ? 

Enthinu vere oru madhu vasantham

Why do I need a sweet spring ?

Enthinu vere oru madhu vasantham , innu nee en arikil ille

Why do I need a sweet spring when you are by my side ?

Malarvaniyil 

In the garden filled with flowers.

Enthinu vere oru madhu vasatham 

 

Ninte nupura marmaram onnu kelkanayi vannu njan

I came just to hear the tinkling of your anklet.

Ninte santhvana venuvil ragalolamay jeevitham

My life flows with the meandering melody of your benevolent flute.

Nee ente ananda neelambari , nee enuum anayath deepanjali

You are my joyous lullaby (  Neelambari raag is used to make lullabies ) , you are my immortal reverence of light.

Eniyum chilamb aniyu

Wear your anklets again !


Shyama gopike ee mizhi pookkal ennu enthe erenay

Oh beloved ! Why did your eyes,like flowers,  tear up today ?

Tavakanguli lalanangalil ardramay manasam

My mind melts in the cosseting by your fingers.

Poo kondu mudunnu vrindavanam , sindhuram aniyunnu ragambaram

The Vrindavan ( It means sacred grove of basil plants . It is considered one of the most sacred places for devotees of Krishna , as it is where he spent his childhood . It is believed to be the location where Krishna enacted his dance of divine love with Radha and other cowherd maidens )  is filled with flowers . The melodic sky is adorned with vermillion.

Padu swara yamunae

Oh Yamuna river , Sing songs with the melodic notes of your waves . 


Postlude -  The lyricist Kaithapram has tried to incorporate the story of incapacitated Uma Maheshwari, who is a dancer by profession,  in her path of recuperation . The joint journey of Uma Maheshwari and Nandakumar Varma in this moment of crisis only strengthens their bond . The way in which Nandakumar Varma supports Uma Maheshwari mentally in getting reinvigorated is a lesson to be learnt by all human beings who believe in the language of love . Nandakumar wishes to see Uma Maheshwari walk once again and dance like before . The second stanza of the song has brought the divine love of Lord Krishna and Goddess Radha,  which stands testimony to the heartbeat of the universe . This song is an ode to all those people who believe in eternal love.
