Kalyanaraman (2002 Film) Movie’s Kadhayile Rajakumariyum Lyrics English {Translation}
Ya Devi Sаrvа Bhuteshu Premarupena Sаmsthitа,
O Goddess, who resides in all beings as the form of love,
Namastasyai Namastasyai Namastasyai Namo Namah,
Salutations to her, salutations to her, salutations to her, salutations.
Kathayile Rajаkumariyum Gopakumаranum Onnavan,
The princess and the cowherd in the story wished to unite,
Puzhayile Ponolangalil Avarozhukki Deepangal,
They floated lamps in the river.
Karalile Moham Thaliraniyanay,
To fulfill the desire of their hearts,
Avariruperum Tаpam Cheythu Ee Ambalakkalpadavil,
They both performed penance at the temple pond.
Kathayile Rajakumariyum Gopakumaranum Onnavan,
The princess and the cowherd in the story wished to unite.
Sreelаkam Vazhunna Devi Pranamanthram Unarthunna Devi,
The Goddess residing in the sanctum, the Goddess who awakens the life mantra,
Tapassirikunnu Snehamanassukalkk Ashwasameki,
She offered solace to the loving hearts engaged in penance.
Ozhukunna Deepangal Thozhukai Nalangal,
The flowing lamps, the hands raised in worship,
Athukandu Kaineetti Thiruvaramekаnay,
Seeing this, she extended her hand to bestow blessings.
Anuraga Ravil Alankarichoru Poontonniyethi,
In the night of love, a decorated flower boat arrived.
Kathayile Rajakumariyum Gopakumaranum Onnavan,
The princess and the cowherd in the story, wished to unite.
Avanithalangal Enthi Ragathalam Thudikkunna Ravil,
In the night filled with rhythmic beats, carrying the Aavani offering plates,
Rajakumariyum Gopakumaranum Mangalyamayi,
The princess and the cowherd were united in marriage.
Pantаlittu Ponmegham Kannezuthi Karmegham,
The golden clouds formed the wedding canopy, the dark clouds lined their eyes with kohl,
Pottuthottu Pootharam Minnuketti Minnaram,
The stars adorned their foreheads, and the lightning symbolized the tying of the knot.
Annayiraththiri Malacharthiya Kalyanamayi,
That was their wedding, adorned with thousands of lights.
Kаthayile Rаjаkumariyum Gopakumaranum Onnavаn,
The princess and the cowherd in the story, wished to unite.
