This is a beautiful motivational song.I don’t know if i have been able to give full justice to the song because this is a word to word translation.Some sentences may sound odd in English.

You can find the translation as well as watch the song here Vijanathayil..

Vijanathayil pathi vazhi theerunnu

In loneliness, my path ends halfway

chori manalil veenu veyilaarunnu

The sunlight fades away over the sand (meaning the sun is setting)

aazhamariyaan saagarangal neenthi neenthi

I swim the seas to gauge its depth

theeramanayaan koorirulilekayaayorodamaakayo

Like a lone boat in the pitch dark night trying to reach the shore

chuvadukale thalararuthe

Oh steps! You shouldn’t tire

idararuthe varoo varoo pokaamakale

Shouldn’t stumble/slip

Come, come let’s go far away
(Vijanathayil pathi)

odimarayunnu kaalamengo orthu nilakkathangu dhoore

Time slips away quickly into the distance without standing to remember
engo poyathengo

Where did they go?
En kinavin ponpirakkal

The golden pigeons of my dream

enthe manjthenthe

Why? Why did it vanish?
manchirathin poothanaalam

The flame on the diya/lamp

pularikale ithu vazhiye

Oh Dawns! This way please

iniyunaru varoo varoo

Wake up now and come come
vin veedhiyilaayi

To the avenues of the sky
(Vijanathayil pathi)


neela mukilaayi vaanileraan

Want to climb the skies as a blue cloud

mele mele paari neengaan

To float away upwards

ullil ullinnullil

Inside the depths (of my heart)
pandu pande neytha swapnam

The dreams I had weaved long ago
veendum thedi vannu

Have come in search of me again

kannilaalan nidhra neenthi

As the flame burnt in my eye, sleep swam away
nizhalukale ini marayoo

Oh shadows! Now go hide!
pakalolikal niram tharum manpaathayilaayi

The morning rays will impart color to this muddy path of mine!
