Blissful Lyrics

It was a complete bliss listening to the lyrics of this song. It enticed me so much that I fervently searched for the lyrics in the net and got one.

Ennangal Vaan Nooki Uyara Vendum
Ezhuththellam Sudaragi Yeriya Vendum
Pennenral Thayenru Paarka Vendum
Kannodu Vaaimaiththee Kalara Vendum
Poradi Velginra Pulamai Vendum
Panithulikul Ulagathai Paarka Vendum
Nanmaigalaich Surandaatha Natpu Vendum
Epothum Sirikinra Uthadugal Vendum

Vayathuku Sariyana Vaazhkai Vendum
Sonnapadi Ketkinra Ullam Vendum
Paravaigaluku Irukinra Siragu Vendum
Aagayam Edinthalum Rasika Vendum
Pori Ainthum Arivale Nirapa Vendum
Sinthanayai Kaatraga Parappa Vendum
Poi Sonnal Suduginra Naavum Vendum
Kaalathin Maatrathai Mathika Vendum

a complete bliss...

Anbendra Mazhaiyile Agilangal nanaiyavae Adhiroopan thonrinaanae..
Vaikkoalin mel oru vairamai vairamai vandhavan minninaanae..
Vin meengal kanpaarka sooriyan thonrumo pugazhmaindhan thonrinaanae..
Kanneerin kayathai seneeril aatrave sisubaalan thonrinaanae..

Anbendra Mazhaiyile Agilangal nanaiyavae Adhiroopan thonrinaanae..
Porkonda boomiyil pookkadu kanavae pugazhmaindhan thonrinanae..

Kalvaari malaiyile kallonru pookavum karunaimagan thonrinanae..
nootrandu iravinai nodiyodu pokuidum oliyaga thondrinaanae..
irumbaana nenjilum eerangal kasiyavae iraibaalan thonrinaanae..
mutkaadu engilum pookadu pookavae puviraajan thonrinanae..

(Anbendra mazhaiyilae 2*)

Lifted up my patriotic spirit

This song is from movie Pardes, released on 1997. It was when I was six years old. I could remember humming this song often when I was young. Yesterday, I happened to hear this song in a Hindi channel after long gap. I felt like travelling back to my childhood days again. I set out to find some information about the song. 

"London" dekha "Paris" dekha...

I've seen London, I've seen Paris,

aur dekha "Japan"

and I've seen Japan.

"Michael" dekha "Elvis" dekha sab dekha meri jaan

I've seen Michael (Jackson), I've seen Elvis; I've seen it all, my darling;

saare jag mein kahin nahin hai duusra hindustaan

and in all the world there is no other India,

duusra hindustaan...

no other India...

yeh duniya ik dulhan...

This world is a bride,

dulhan ke maathe ki bindiya

and the jewel (bindi) on the bride's forehead

yeh mera india yeh mera india

is this India of mine, this India of mine.(2)

jab chheda balhaar kisi ne

It took a fabulous tune to

jhuumke saawan aaya

make the rains descend.

aag laga di paani mein jab

The water lit on fire

dipak raag sunaaya

at the sound of the Deepak raga.

saat suron ka sangam yeh jiwan giton ka maala

This life is a garland made of songs, the meeting of the seven notes.

ham apne bhagwaan ko bhi kahate hain baansuriwaala

We even call our God 'the flute player.' [i.e., Krishna]

( yeh mera india )

pihu pihu bole papihaa

The cuckoo caws, pihu pihu!

koyal koyal kuhu kuhu gaaye

The crow sings, kuhu kuhu!

hanste rote hamne jiwan ki sab git banaaye

In laughter and tears, we (Indians) made all of life's songs.

yeh saari duniya apne apne giton ko gaaye

This whole world sings to our songs.

git voh gaao jis se is mitti ki khushbu aaye

Sing the song from which the fragrance of this earth arises.

vatan mera india sajan mera india

India, my homeland; India, my beloved.

(yeh duniya ik dulhan... )
