Kandaa Vara Sollunga Lyrics

Not fathered by the Sun God;
Nor witnessed by the Moon God;
Born to a forsaken woman, this child –
Fed and raised on famine, this child…

(Chorus)
Have you seen Karnan? Do tell him to come!
Oh, fetch Karnan right away!
Have you seen Karnan? Do tell him to come!
Oh, fetch Karnan right away!

There’s the big old Banyan Tree;
Perched upon its tallest branch,
Though it is all alone –
The lone parakeet sings his name!

(Chorus)
Have you seen Karnan? Do tell him to come!
Oh, fetch Karnan right away!
Have you seen Karnan? Do tell him to come!
Oh, fetch Karnan right away!

All these countless temples in the village,
All these countless Gods in the temple,
And not a single idol of Karnan –
But he’s part of our family!

(Chorus)
Have you seen Karnan? Do tell him to come!
Oh, fetch Karnan right away!
Have you seen Karnan? Do tell him to come!
Oh, fetch Karnan right away!

Never laid eyes on any armour (Kavacham);
Never adorned with any ornaments (Kundalam), either;
Would you look how he wields the sword!
None of his foes survived.

(Chorus)
Have you seen Karnan? Do tell him to come!
Oh, fetch Karnan right away!
Have you seen Karnan? Do tell him to come!
Oh, fetch Karnan right away!
