Anthony Daasan – Yen Paattan Saami Varum Lyrics in English (Translation)

Yen Paattan Saami Varum
Engeyum Kooda Varum
When my grandfather calls the deity, the god comes.
He comes to every corner, everywhere.

En Thaayi Thoonga Sonna Pattu Varum
Engappan Moochu Vitta Kathu Varum
The lullaby my mother sang to help me sleep echoes.
Even the breeze carries my father’s breath.

Oorana Ooru Varum
Munnorin Peru Varum
The neighboring village visits us,
Along with the names of our ancestors.

Engooru Karuppasaami Aadi Varum
Engooru Karuppasaami Aadi Varum
Our village’s Karuppasamy dances his way here,
Yes, our Karuppasamy comes dancing in joy.

Raathiri Vazhi Neduga Nelavu Varum
Kathiri Veyil Kadakka Garudan Varume Enjaami
At night, the moonlight stretches across the path.
Even in the harsh sun, the mighty Garuda comes flying, my dear.

Kovil Sela Kavuli Sonna Sagunam Varum
Kaalayum Veppilayum Thodarndhu Varume Enjaami
If the temple priest says “let’s go,” it’s a good sign.
Even the morning and the heat follow us, my dear.

Aagaasa Boomiyellam Aarudhala Kooda Varum
Annaandhu Paakkayile Thooral Varum
Even the sky and the earth come to comfort us.
A gentle drizzle arrives through the ripe jackfruit trees.

Oyyaara Thooli Thandha Aalamaram Kooda Varum
Aathora Kaal Nadandha Seru Varum
The old banyan tree that swayed with elegance will come too.
The battlefield where ancient footsteps walked comes with it.

Ammikallum Kooda Varum
Aattukallum Kooda Varum
Even the grinding stone will come,
And the flat stone used for washing clothes will come too.

Ammanum Semmannum
Endhonaya Kooda Varum
The goddess and the sacred red soil,
Even the pain I carry in my heart — all of it comes along.

En Paattan Saami Varum
Engeyum Kooda Varum
When my grandfather calls the deity, the god comes.
He comes to every corner, everywhere.

En Thaayi Thoonga Sonna Pattu Varum
Engappan Moochu Vitta Kaathu Varum
The lullaby my mother sang to help me sleep echoes.
Even the breeze carries my father’s breath.
