Thakkol Song Lyrics Meaning In English
Kando kando thaakkol,
Have you seen it, have you seen the key?
Kunjan thavalayude thaakkol.
The little frog’s missing key.
Naattil thendi nadakkumbol,
While wandering around the village,
Kaanaathaayoru thaakkol,
he lost that precious key,
Kaanaathaayoru thaakkol…
he lost that precious key.
Mann kuzhikkum njendalyaa,
Oh crab, digging deep into the mud,
Kando neeyaa thaakkol?
did you happen to see the key?
Mann kuzhikkum neram,
While I’m busy digging in the dirt,
Engane kaanum thaakkol…
how could I possibly spot a key?
Pattam ketti varum kombaa,
Oh majestic elephant, dressed for the festival,
Nee kandodaa thaakkol?
did you catch a glimpse of the key?
Kottum chendayilillallo,
It’s not inside the beating drum,
Pottumamittilumillallo,
and it’s not in the bursting fireworks either.
Payyin vaale thoongiyole,
Oh little egret, hanging onto the cow’s tail,
Mundikokke nee kando?
did you happen to see it anywhere?
Neettil ponthum meene,
Oh fish, surfacing from the water,
Kannaale njaan kandullu.
I’ve only seen what is right before my eyes.
Kombil njaalum vavvaale,
Oh bat, hanging upside down from the branch,
Kando velli thaakkol?
did you see the silver key?
Kuttirittilumillallo,
It isn’t hidden in the pitch-black darkness,
Utharathilumillallo,
and it isn’t up in the ceiling beams.
Chodhichangane poyyaare,
As he went around asking everyone,
Neendu nivarnnu kidakkunnu,
there it was, stretched out long and straight,
Thaakkol poloru neerkkoli,
a water snake that looked exactly like the key,
Thaakkol poloru neerkkoli.
a water snake that looked exactly like the key.
Kunjan thavalachaarinnum,
The little frog, even today,
Ellaarodum chodhichu:
goes around asking everyone,
“Thaakkol kando?”
“Have you seen my key?”
“Pekkrom pekkrom!”
“Croak, croak!”
Veedin velli thaakkol.
The silver key to the house.
“Thaakkol kando?”
“Have you seen my key?”
“Pekkrom pekkrom!”
“Croak, croak!”
Minnaaminni thaakkol,
The glowing, firefly-like key.
Minnaaminni thaakkol
The glowing, firefly-like key.
