Priyanoral Innu vannuvo Chanthu Thottille Banaras Lyrics Translation

Priyanoraal Innu Vannuvooo.
Has the beloved come today
Ente Jalakathile Raathrimaina Kaathil Mooliyooo
Has the night mynae* in my window sang to my ears
Chandu Thottilee.
Didn't you apply chaand (A dot or symbolic mark on the forhead like,Sindoor/Vermilion)**
Nee Chandanam Thottilee
Didn't you apply sandal paste( on your forhead**) 
Kaattu Chinniya Chattal Mazha Chilanka Kettiyille.
Didn't the the drizzle ,which was scattered by wind, wear a trinket in its foot 

Sarathenthu Dooree.
Moon of the autumn season at distance
Sarathenthu Dooree Deepankuramaai
Moon of the autumn season at distance  has became a sprout of flame
Athirakku Nee Vilakkullil Veikkavee.
On athira****(full moon day) when you keep the lamp inside

Ghana Shyaamaye Poole khayal Paadi Urakkaam.
Like Ghanashyama ( Krishna/ who is dark like cloud) , I will sing a Khayal*****(a song)  to sleep.

Athu Madana Madura Hridayamurali Eettu Paadumoo.
Will that be sung  along  ( repeated after hearing )by the passionate melodious flute of heart

Priyanoraal Innu Vannuvooo.
Has the beloved come today
Ente Jalakathile Raathrimaina Kaathil Mooliyooo
Has the night mynae* in my window sang to my ears

Sneha Saandya Raagam.
The passionate color of dusk
Sneha Saandya Raagam Kavil Koombile.
The passionate color of dusk,  in the bud like cheeks
Then Thiranjithaavarumaadyaraathiyil.
will come now  searching for nectar, in the first night
Hima Shayyayilenthe Ithal Peithu Vasantham
why in the snow beds, it rained petals by the spring season (season of flowers)
Oru Pranaya Sisira Muruki Manassil Ozhukumadyamaai.
One winter of love melts and flows in mind (thoughts) for the first time

Chandu Thottilee.
Didn't you apply chaand (A dot or symbolic mark on the forhead like,Sindoor/Vermilion)**
Nee Chandanam Thottilee
Didn't you apply sandal paste( on your forhead**) 
Kaattu Chinniya Chattal Mazha Chilanka Kettiyille.
Didn't the the drizzle ,which was scattered by wind, wear a trinket in its foot

***Three things which are usually in the powdery form are sacred for Hindus: vibhUti--sacred ash, kumkum--vermilion, and chandanam--sandal power/paste. Hindu men and women wear these things singly or in combination on their forehead for religious identity and spiritual benefits. Hindus belonging to the shaiva sect use the vibhUti; those in the vaiShNava sect use what is known in Tamil as nAmakkaTTi--pipe clay which is also white. Shaivas wear their vibhUti in horizontal stripes and VaiShNavas in vertical lines (one or three).

The vibhUti is associated with Lord Shiva. Check this article for its significance:

The chandanam--sandal pste, is associated with shrI KRShNa. It is worn by KRShNa devotees who are among the VaiShNava sect for the same reason of sacredness. All the three things--vibhUti, kumkumam, and chandanam--along with turmeric, are among the sacred things used in Hindu pujas.
