Saptha varnangalaal(Malayalam)

 Saptha varnangalaal(Malayalam)

By the seven colours

 

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

 


1.Saptha  varnangalal  shobhithamaayoru,

Maanathe   mazhavillinnu  yendhu chandam

Kodakar  varnande mauliyil choodiya

Varna mayil peelikku yere chandham

 

What a prettiness  to the  rainbow in sky

Which shines  in several different colours

The coloured  peacock  feather  tucked,

In the head of he  who is colouredin summer cloud

 

2.Manja  pattu udayaada chuthri  nilkkunnoru

Mukkuthi   poovinnu   yendhu  chandham

Amma yesodha jnori vechu  uduthiya

Peethambara pattinnu   yere chandham

 

What  a prettiness to the  Mukuthi flower

Which stands   with yellow  silk tied to it

The mother yasoda  wearing  a  yellow silk

Which she has tied  tucked in properly  is more  pretty

 

3.Moovanthi nerathuputhulaninjidunna

Muthathe  mullakku  yendhu  chandham

Mandasmitha pozhiyumaa kannande

Muthuari pallukal yere  chandam

 

The  jasmine  plant of the  home courtyard

Which  makes torrential floweing in the dusk  is pretty

That Krishna  who showers  smiles, showing

Teeth  like  white  pearls is more  pretty

 

4.Thulli  kalichu aadi odi nadakkunna

Kathra kidaangalkku menthu  chandham

Paimpal  kidavine mathikudikkunna

Bala gopalannanere  chandam

 

The   pretty calves  which   move about

Jumping , playing  and running    are  pretty

But  the boy bala gopala  who drinks  milk,

Keeping away the calves of  cow is more pretty
