Ezhilam Paala Poothu

Presenting a popular Malayalam duet ... this happens to be my first Malayalam song in the blog..I want to express my sincere thanks to Thinkal ji for giving me the opportunity to sing this, for mixing it so wonderfully and for all his guidance with lyrics and expressions in the song. I hope you all will enjoy this. Happy Onam to all of you!! Thank you all very much in advance. English Translation: In full blossom are the seven-leaved Paala trees! Up are the umbrellas of the flowering woods! On the silver-peaked hills, on the Veli hills! Calls out in cheer the arriving flock of yodelling cuckoos! On the silver-peaked hills, on the Veli hills! ||Interlude|| In the flowery garden of my golden dreams Fully bloomed are the Paarijaata florets Adorns the row of my mind’s hillocks! Blooming Ashoka’s golden flowers! From the sky like a lotus You fell on my lap Oh my soul-mate! Oh my companion of life! ||Interlude||   To unite with you perpetually Took to penance my longing heart! On lonely nights of melancholy In your thoughts I wept and wept! To see you when I yearned Came in front of me like a beautiful poem Oh my soul-mate! Oh my companion of life!
