Composed by Oothukkadu Venkata Subba Iyer, is one of the most beloved Carnatic compositions of all time. Let’s take a closer look at its history and meaning. Along with alaipayuthey kanna lyrics in english as well as tamil, malayalam and telugu.

Theme of the Alaipayuthey Kanna Song

Alaipayuthey Kanna lyrics meaning portrays that the woman stands in the meadow, looking for her beloved flautist, longing and filled with sadness. The soothing melody of the flute helps to calm her restless heart. she desires to reunite her in a tranquil forest where he will make her feel alive again. Her feelings range from intense love to doubt and jealousy as she questions the fairness of life. Alaipayuthey Kanna lyrics meaning perfectly conveys these emotions. Her heart rises and falls in a cycle of love, sorrow and hope as she awaits his return.

Alaipayuthey kanna composer Oothukadu Venkata Subbaiyer (c. 1700-1765) conveys a longing for spirituality in his Kriti ‘Alai Payude Kanna’. Here he depicted Radha’s waiting for Krishna is symbolic of bhaktas’ desire for union with the divine. We beg for Moksha, just as she begs for union. It is like a release from this cycle of birth and death so that we may be united with the divine.

The flute’s melody takes one into a meditative state. This evokes feelings of grief and doubt due to jealousy and lack of faith. The restless mind constantly seeks the Lord like an ocean’s never-ending waves. Though the material world distracts her from her spiritual goal, she never stops believing in true love. The song ends on a beautiful note of hope for union with Him. From Radha’s struggle and longing to our own, ‘Alai Payuthe Kanna song’ reminds us that we will be reunited one day with what we seek.

Alaipayuthey Kanna Song Lyrics In Tamil

அலைபாயுதே கண்ணா,
என் மனம் மிக அலைபாயுதே
உன் ஆனந்த மோகன வேணுகானம் அதில்

நிலை பெயராது சிலை போலவே நின்று
நேரமாவதறியாமலே மிக விநோதமாக முரளீதரா
என் மனம் (அலைபாயுதே)

தெளிந்த நிலவு பட்டப்பகல் போல் எரியுத
தெளிந்த நிலவு பட்டப்பகல் போல் எரியுதே
திக்கை நோக்கி என் இரு புருவம் நெரியுதே
கனிந்த உன் வேணுகானம் காற்றில் வருகுதே
கனிந்த உன் வேணுகானம் காற்றில் வருகுதே
கண்கள் சொருகி ஒரு விதமாய் வருகுதே
கண்கள் சொருகி ஒரு விதமாய் வருகுதே

கதித்த மனத்தில் உருத்தி பதத்தை
எனக்கு அளித்து மகிழ்த்தவா
கதித்த மனத்தில் உருத்தி பதத்தை
எனக்கு அளித்து மகிழ்த்தவா

ஒரு தனித்த வனத்தில் அணைத்து எனக்கு
உணர்ச்சி கொடுத்து முகிழ்த்தவா
ஒரு தனித்த வனத்தில் அணைத்து எனக்கு
உணர்ச்சி கொடுத்து முகிழ்த்தவா

கனை கடல் அலையினில் கதிரவன் ஒளியென
இணையிரு கழலெனக்-அளித்தவா
கனை கடல் அலையினில் கதிரவன் ஒளியென
இணையிரு கழலெனக்-அளித்தவா

கதறி மனமுருகி நான் அழைக்கவோ
இதர மாதருடன் நீ களிக்கவோ
கதறி மனமுருகி நான் அழைக்கவோ
இதர மாதருடன் நீ களிக்கவோ

இது தகுமோ, இது முறையோ, இது தருமம் தானோ?
இது தகுமோ, இது முறையோ, இது தருமம் தானோ?

குழலூதிடும் பொழுது ஆடிடும் குழைகள்
போலவே மனது வேதனை மிகவொடு

அலைபாயுதே கண்ணா, என் மனம் மிக அலைபாயுதே
உன் ஆனந்த மோகன வேணுகானம் அதில்
அலைபாயுதே கண்ணா

ഇതരമാതരുടെ നീ കളിക്ക‍വോ
ഇതുതകുമോ ഇതു‍ മുറൈയോ ഇത് ധര്‍മ്മം താനാ

Alaipayuthey Kanna Song Lyrics In Telugu

పల్లవి:

అలై పొంగెరా కన్నా
మానసమలై పొంగెరా
ఆనంద మోహన వేణుగానమున
ఆలాపనే కన్నా
మానసమలై పొంగెరా
నీ నవరస మోహన వేణుగానమది
అలై పొంగెరా కన్నా… ఆ… ఆ… ఆ…

చరణం 1:

నిలబడి వింటూనే చిత్తరువైనాను ” 2″
కాలమాగినది రా దొర
ప్రాయమున యమున మురళీధర
యవ్వనమలై పొంగెరా కన్నా… ఆ…

కనుల వెన్నెల పట్టపగల్ పాల్చిలుకగా
కలువ రేకుల మంచు ముత్యాలు వెలిగే
కన్నె మోమున కనుబొమ్మలటు పొంగె
కాదిలి వేణుగానం కానడ పలికే ” 2″
కన్నె వయసు కళలొలికే వేళలో
కన్నె సొగసు ఒక విధమై ఒరిగెలే

చరణం 2:

అనంతమనాది వసంత పదాల
సరాగసరాల స్వరానివా
నిశాంత మహీజ శకుంతమరంద
మెడారి గళాన వర్షించవా
ఒక సుగంధ వనాన సుఖాల క్షణాన
వరించి కౌగిళ్ళు బిగించవా
సుగంధ వనాన సుఖాల క్షణాన
వరించి కౌగిళ్ళు బిగించవా

చరణం 3:

కడలికి అలలకు కధకళి కళలిడు
శశికిరణమువలె చలించవా
చిగురు సొగసులను తలిరుటాకులకు
రవికిరణాలే రచించవా
కవిత మదిని రగిలే ఆవేదనో
ఇతర భామలకు లేని వేదనో ” 2″

ఇది తగులో ఎద తగవో
ఇది ధర్మం ఔనో ” 2″
కొసరి ఊదు వేణువున
వలపులే చిలుకు

అలై పొంగెరా కన్నా
మానసమలై పొంగెరా
నీ ఆనంద మోహన వేణుగానమున
ఆలాపనే కన్నా కన్నా ఆ… ఆ… ఆ…
