Cherrapunji Song Lyrics in Malayalam (Original Script)

[Verse 1]

പോകുന്നു ദൂരങ്ങളിലും
കൂട്ടിനില്ലാതെ
കാണുന്നു കാടുകൾ
കരകൾ നിലക്കാതെ

പോകുന്നു ദൂരങ്ങളാലും
കൂട്ടിനില്ലാതെ
കാണുന്നു കാടുകൾ
കരകൾ നിലക്കാതെ

[Chorus]

ചിറാപുഞ്ചി കി ബാരിഷ്
നീല നാവ് നീങ്ങുന്നു
ചിറാപുഞ്ചി കി ബാരിഷ്
നീല നാവ് നീങ്ങുന്നു
ചിറാപുഞ്ചി കി ബാരിഷ്
നീല നാവ് നീങ്ങുന്നു
ചിറാപുഞ്ചി കി ബാരിഷ്
നീല നാവ് നീങ്ങുന്നു

[Verse 2]

കാർമേഘം ഒഴിഞ്ഞൂ
പൂ മേളെ വിരിഞ്ഞൂ
കാതിലേക്ക് നീ മൂളുന്നൊരു ഈണമോ

കാട്ടുപോലെ ഞാൻ മൂടുന്നു
വഴിയോറ നേരങ്ങൾ ഒഴിഞ്ഞേ
ദൂരദൂരങ്ങൾ നിന്നെയും തേടുന്നു

[Verse 1 Reprise]

പോകുന്നു ദൂരങ്ങളാലും
കൂട്ടിനില്ലാതെ
കാണുന്നു കാടുകൾ
കരകൾ നിലക്കാതെ

[Chorus]

ചിറാപുഞ്ചി മഴയതു
നിലാ വഞ്ചി തുഴഞ്ഞേത്
ചിറാപുഞ്ചി മഴയതു
നിലാ വഞ്ചി തുഴഞ്ഞേത്
ചിറാപുഞ്ചി മഴയതു
നിലാ വഞ്ചി തുഴഞ്ഞേത്
ചിറാപുഞ്ചി മഴയതു
നിലാ വഞ്ചി തുഴഞ്ഞേത്

Cherrapunji Song Lyrics English Translation

[Verse 1]

Going further and further into distances
Without any companion beside me
Seeing forests and shores
Without them ever standing still

Going further and further into distances
Without any companion beside me
Seeing forests and shores
Without them ever standing still

[Chorus]

In Chirapunji’s rain
The moonlight boat rows forward
In Chirapunji’s rain
The moonlight boat rows forward
In Chirapunji’s rain
The moonlight boat rows forward
In Chirapunji’s rain
The moonlight boat rows forward

[Verse 2]

The dark clouds have parted
Flowers bloomed softly
Is that a melody you’re humming into my ears?

Like a forest, I’ve become overcast
The moments along every path have faded away
Across endless, endless distances
I keep searching for you

[Verse 1 Reprise]

Going further and further into distances
Without any companion beside me
Seeing forests and shores
Without them ever standing still

[Chorus]

In Cherrapunji’s rain
The moonlight boat rows forward
In Cherrapunji’s rain
The moonlight boat rows forward
In Cherrapunji’s rain
The moonlight boat rows forward
In Cherrapunji’s rain
The moonlight boat rows forward

Musical Composition and Vocal Performance

Nihal Sadiq’s production is restrained in exactly the right way. The arrangement avoids the common trap of indie Malayalam songs that pile on strings until the emotion feels instructed. Here, there is negative space moments where Josi Alappuzha’s flute does the emotional work instead of a full orchestra.

The flute in this track deserves its own mention. In Kerala’s folk and classical tradition, the flute (Venu) carries an inherent association with longing and the divine rooted in imagery of Krishna and the forests. Placing it here, in a contemporary indie production, gives the song a rootedness that feels both modern and culturally alive.

Hanan Shaah’s vocal delivery is the kind that doesn’t announce itself. He doesn’t embellish. The restraint is the performance. Nihal Sadiq, as co-vocalist, provides a textural contrast his voice slightly more grounded, anchoring the higher emotional register that Hanan brings.

This is not a song built for a climactic moment. It builds laterally it stays in the rain with you rather than pulling you out of it.
