Devaloka rathavumayi
thenale thenale
Oh breeze ! You have
come riding a celestial chariot.
Thedivanath are nee
thennale thennale
Oh breeze ! Who do you
come searching for ?
Nalumani poo virinnal
When the “ Nalumani poo
“ ( periwinkle or sadabahar ) blooms.
Nilavanam ponnaninnal
When the trees with
blue flowers in the forest adorn themselves with gold ornaments.
Manodu malarikil
Where the deer runs at
the edge of the mountain.
Njan alayum thalvarayil
I wander in the valley.
Nanuvumayi odivarum
premavathikko
Poomanavum kulirum nee
konduvannu
Oh breeze ! You
bring the fragrance of the flower and coolness for the beloved who comes
running towards me shyly .
Anthiveyil poo
kozhinnal
The flowers are blown
off the branches by the breeze in the evening.
Allikkalil mannu veenal
The dew drops fall on
the flower petals.
Njan padum puzhaarikil
I sing a song near the
river.
Nan irikkum pulpadavil
I sit on the stairs covered with grass leading to the river .
Poo madiyil veenu
orangum pranasakhikko
Poo madhuvum panineerum
konduvannu
Oh breeze ! You bring the nectar of the flowers and rose water to my beloved who falls and sleeps in the lap of a flower
Postlude – The whole song is addressed to the breeze
for bringing gifts to the beloved by the hero . The lyricist Vayalar has painted
the song with his rhyming words, speaking about the beauty of the valley as we
take a stroll through it on an evening . The whole song is like a soiree with
the breeze , mountain , river , trees , deer and flowers rejoicing and painting
the town red with their playfulness along with the hero and heroine . Vayalar
has the expertise of painting a song with multiple strokes of themes from his
palette, which creates an idyllic world in the hearts of music lovers . Vayalar
tells us that the breeze is like a host who arranges her home for the party in
the evening with fragrance , coolness and the nectar of the flowers by shaking them
off the branches for the heroine .
