Jalaja Bandhu/Alarsaraparithapam - Mohiniyattam

Could'nt resist myself from choreographing this beautiful Swathy Thirunal composition sung by Shri. Sreevalsan J Menon...in his ever-romantic voice...

Lyrics & Meaning

Jalajabandhuvumiha jaladhiyilanayunnu
(The sun, who's a relative of Lotus, is coming closer to the ocean)
Malayamaruthamettu mama mathitharambatha vivashamayi sakhee
(The breeze/wing is making my mind overwhelmed and restless)
Alashara parithapam cholvathinnaliveni Pani baale baale
(It's indescribable, the sadness that I possess from getting hit by the arrow of kamadeva)
Valarunnu hrudimoham ennomale, thalarunnu mamamoham kalamozhee
(In my heart, yearning is growing, restlessly, but my body is getting exhausted)
Kusuma vadika athil ulayayoralikulaarava, mathiha kelppathumadikamathi nidanamayi sakhee
(I can hear the beetles from the garden, but somehow that makes me more and more sad)
