Poongodithan Poothathamma Lyrics Translation in English
Poonkodi thaan poothathammaa
The flower creeper has blossomed, dear…
Pon vandu thaan paarthathammaa
The golden bee has come to see it…
Paatedukka… thaamathikka
To sing, why this delay…
Vaadaikkaatru pooparithu ponathammaa…
The dry wind has already scattered the flowers and gone…
Poonkodi thaan poothathammaa
The flower creeper has blossomed, dear…
Pon vandu thaan paarthathammaa
The golden bee has come to see it…
Aasaikku thaal pottu adaiththenna laabam
What’s the use of locking up desire…
Adhuthaanae kudam thannil erikindra theebam
It’s like a lamp burning inside a pot…
Manthodu thirai pottu maraikindra mogam
A longing hidden behind a curtain of hesitation…
Mazhaineerai pozhiyaamal irukkindra megam
Like a cloud that refuses to rain…
Silarukku sila neram thunichalgal pirakkaathu
For some, courage never arises at the right time…
Thunichalgal pirakaamal kadhavugal thirakkaathu
Without courage, doors will never open…
Kaataatha kaadhalellaam meetaatha veenaiyai pol…
Unexpressed love is like an unplayed veena…
Ooooo… ooo… ohooo… oooo…
Poonkodi thaan poothathammaa
The flower creeper has blossomed, dear…
Pon vandu thaan paarthathammaa
The golden bee has come to see it…
Paatedukka… thaamathikka
To sing, why this delay…
Vaadaikkaatru pooparithu ponathammaa…
The dry wind has already scattered the flowers and gone…
Poonkodi thaan poothathammaa
The flower creeper has blossomed, dear…
Pon vandu thaan paarthathammaa
The golden bee has come to see it…
Thaaikooda azhukindra pillaikuththaanae
Even a mother comes to a crying child…
Pasiyendru parivodu paaloota varuvaal
With care, she comes to feed when it is hungry…
Un veetu kannaadi aanaalum kooda
Even if it’s your own house mirror…
Mun vanthu nindraal thaan mugam kaatum ingae
It shows your face only if you stand before it…
Manadhukkul pala kodi ninaivugal irunthaalum
Even if millions of thoughts live in the heart…
Uthadugal thirandhaal thaan udhavigal perakkoodum
Only when lips open can help come…
Kozhaikku kaadhalenna oomaikku paadalenna…
What is love to a coward, or a song to the mute…
Ooooo… ooo… ohooo… oooo…
Poonkodi thaan poothathammaa
The flower creeper has blossomed, dear…
Pon vandu thaan paarthathammaa
The golden bee has come to see it…
Poonkodi thaan poothathammaa
The flower creeper has blossomed, dear…
Pon vandu thaan paarthathammaa
The golden bee has come to see it…
