L2 Empuraan Movie’s Kaavalaai Chekavar Lyrics [English Meaning]
Kavalayi Chekavarundo
Are there still any brave hearts left to shield and defend?
Aashayayi Naalomonnu Undo
Does even a single spark of hope still flicker?
Kaadumee Karayum Kaakkum Veeranetho
Who stands guard over this forest and shore—our silent protector?
Chenchirayal Nonthu Pidakkum
When the red feathers flutter, weary from pain,
Vanpuzhayil Veerum Novum
And courage dissolves into sorrow within the mighty river,
Aattuvaan Raavileerum Sooryanetho
Who becomes the sun that rises even through the night to comfort us?
Velithil Mannurukumpol
When the land begins to crumble within the burning fence,
Maariyaayi Vin Thakarumpol
And the skies pour down, breaking in despair,
Chillakal Cherthu Virikkum Aashrayametho
What haven stretches its arms to shelter us from all sides?
Naaduvaazhum Rajaavetho Vaaluyarthaan Kaiyundo
Who reigns over this land, and is there a hand left that dares raise the sword?
Ninavundo Nenjuundo Kanavundo Theeyundo
Is there memory to guide us? Courage in our hearts? A dream that stirs? A fire that burns?
Oru Deshamaake Innonnaavanam
Let this fractured land awaken as one, united.
Anjaathe Pinjaathe Palathaayi Pilarathe
Without fear, without shattering, without splintering apart,
Oru Vaanil Keezhe Innonnaavanam
Let us stand together beneath one sky, as one people.
Ninavundo Nenjuundo Kanavundo Theeyundo
Is there memory to guide us? Courage in our hearts? A dream that stirs? A fire that burns?
Oru Deshamaake Innonnaavanam
Let this fractured land awaken as one, united.
Anjaathe Pinjaathe Palathaayi Pilarathe
Without fear, without shattering, without splintering apart,
Oru Vaanil Keezhe Innonnaavanam
Let us stand together beneath one sky, as one people.
Ulppottil Chenthee Paattum Aalayude Madiyilinn
In the forge where red embers burst and dance,
Aapathil Paari Payattaan Churikayundo
Is there a blade that leaps into action when danger strikes?
Makkalude Chankil Tharaykkum
When venom-tipped arrows pierce our children’s chests,
Visham Thotta Koorampil Kamp
Who will come with steady hands to pull the poison out?
Oorimaatti Marunnu Pothaan Komaramundo
Is there still a healer left who knows how to ease the pain?
Manjithil Kaatturayumpol
When the wind halts, frozen in the fog,
Chenganal Ormayakumpol
And burning coals fade into the folds of memory,
Choodu Thannu Paadiyurakkaan Eeshwaranundo
Is there a god who will warm our nights and lull us to rest with song?
Desham Aalum Thampuraan Aaro Kaathilothaan Aalundo
Who rules this nation now, and who will whisper truth into our ears?
Ninavundo Nenjuundo Kanavundo Theeyundo
Is there memory to guide us? Courage in our hearts? A dream that stirs? A fire that burns?
Oru Deshamaake Innonnaavanam
Let this fractured land awaken as one, united.
Anjaathe Pinjaathe Palathaayi Pilarathe
Without fear, without shattering, without splintering apart,
Oru Vaanil Keezhe Innonnaavanam
Let us stand together beneath one sky, as one people.
