^ Yeah. It's what I didn't get when many people diss the lyrics of the song, saying it was meaningless. Even before reading article, I was so taken in by the lyrics, it was obvious to me that it was supposed to be like a folk or fisherman song.

And it turns out indeed there is a history behind the song lyrics. I wasn't expecting that, and it just made me love the song even more.

Ditto to what you said, about disconnect and how there is a treasure trove of such local songs that can be used in films.

wow, so nice that a local fisherman song was not only picked up by a student and made famous on a college campus but found it's way into movies and recieved so much fame.. it rarely happens :)

There are many such songs all across the country that could be taken into movies... but it feels like there's a HUGE disconnect between film music composers/lyricists and the local/folk music/singers...

I dint know this. Thanks for sharing 😊

Aethu Kari Raavilummm... ❤️ so beautiful - in all ways - music, video, lyrics.. wish I could understand what they're speaking.

Ente Janalarikil... I am in love with this song!!! is nostalgic...gave me late 80s vibe, but is soo soo soo good. Love all the instruments used... such a unique song in today's 'digital' music... Thankyou Shweta! :)

Shweta, when you are free, can you please give a brief meaning of the song 'Ente Janalarikil'?? 😃 thankyou in advance :)

Im glad you loved it babe 😊 One of my fav songs too. Sorry for the late reply was reading for my exams. Here you go the meaning. Its a love song of a simpleton village guy. So in the film plays around the time his marriage has been fixed . So here goes

------------------------------------------------------------------

HOPE IT MAKES SENSE😊

Ente janalarikilnnu Oru jamanthi poo virinju

A chrysanthemum bloomed near my window

Aval en manassil chiri thookum pole Kadha neeyu marinjille mukkutti poove

It feels like she is spreading happiness in my mind, Dint you know the story Mukutti flower(another common plant with small yellow flowers in kerala)

Madichu nilkkanathenthaanu Ithu vazhiye varuminiyenVelippennaale

why should you be shy/hesitant?my to be wife will come this way

Chenakkathooru poorathinu (A village festival)

Chanthu maala kuppivala Aval varumpol aniyikkaan Vaangi Vachchu njaan- i bought bindi,garland and bangles to adorn her with when she visits

Meena veyil neythu thanna Thankakkasavaada chaarthi Nenmaara vela kaanan kondu pokum njaanAvale nenmaara vela kaanan kondu pokum njaan

I will take here to see Nenmara Vela (another festival) adorning her wih the golden set which was woven by Meena sunglight .

Naalu manipoo viriyana Naatu paatha thaandiyonnaa Naalu varaan nimishamenni Kaathirippoo njan

Im counting minutes and waiting for the day to come crossing the village by road where 4pm flowers bloom.

Ethu nera maakilumaa Sundarikku vannanayaan Kunju mayil peeli vathil
Chaariyilla njaan Kanavin kunju mayilpeeli Vaathil chaariyillaa njan

I havent closed the small peacock feather door to my dreams so that she can walk in anytime.

Hmm. You can always catch on. :)) I only know about the famous retelling of Mahabharata by M.T. Vasudevan Nair. It is from Bheem's point of view, I think. If you are interested in literature/poetry, I would suggest checking out Goodreads. They have a good catalogue.

Oh, I have listened to a few of those. Man, that Idukki song is not only lovely to hear but damn gorgeous to look at. They really manage to capture the feel/atmosphere of the place. The cinematography has always been top notch in Malayalam movies (at least in the ones I've watched). I wish I could understand the song/lyrics. I am sure it has the same naturalistic feel and elevate the experience. I am going to check out the film. Thanks for the recommendation. :))

Because of my work schedule, I will be a bit slow to catch on. I guess I'll draw up a list of my favourites after going through all the suggestions and then bug (more like beg lol) you later for the translations. :P

It seems like there is some rule regarding new members posting links. I've PMed you the link. Thanks for helping out. :))

Im so sorry for the late reply. I was busy with exams. Yes cinematography is a strong point so is the script and also the closer to real life stories that touch everyones hearts😊

Would surely help out with lyrics as much as possible just let me know

Neelatharameee...❤️ Shweta, you have made me obsessed with many songs in the past few days 😳 ..such a light hearted romantic feel in the song.. love the music, and ofcourse Karthik 😃

Can you please please give a brief translation? Do so whenever you are free, no hurries at all!! :) hope I am not asking for too much, keep it brief, Shwetaa :)

Nilamalare... very melodious.. lyrics also, sweet as usual :-) ..Dunno why, but it is always refreshing to read the lyrical translation of the songs... all those references to nature <3

Azhalinte Azhangalil... another melodious song.. love the video. Just looked up the translation, although not a fan of sad songs... the poetical ways in Malayalam songs never cease to wow me..

Each video I have watched so far had an interesting story of it's own and nothing is repeated, love how in every song the characters are so natural - acting/dressing/anything - everything is natural... Other film industries should take lessons from Malayalam films 👍🏼 I wonder how good the films must be..

Shweta, thankyou once again 😃
