lyrics :

ഏട്ടന്‍ വരുന്ന ദിനമേ

അരുമദിനമേ ഹ ഹാ ഹ ഹഹഹാ

ഏട്ടന്‍ വരുന്ന ദിനമേ

വിദേശപടയ്ക്കായ് പലദിനം

അകന്നു മരുവും സോദരനേ

വിദേശപടയ്ക്കായ് പലദിനം

അകന്നു മരുവും സോദരനേ

എത്ര ദിനം നയനം എത്ര ദിനം ഹൃദയം-

പ്രിയമോടും കൊതിച്ചുകാണ്മതിനായ്

എത്ര ദിനം നയനം എത്ര ദിനം ഹൃദയം-

പ്രിയമോടും കൊതിച്ചുകാണ്മതിനായ്

ഭാഗ്യം പുലരും ദിനമേ

അരുമദിനമേ ഹ ഹാ ഹ ഹഹഹാ

ഭാഗ്യം പുലരും ദിനമേ

വരുമുടന്‍ അഗ്രജന്‍ കരതലേ

പലതരം പാവകള്‍ നിറയുമേ

വരുമുടന്‍ അഗ്രജന്‍ കരതലേ

പലതരം പാവകള്‍ നിറയുമേ

തൊഴുക സദയമാ സഹജനു

നേരുകനിത്യജയം

തൊഴുക സദയമാ സഹജനു

നേരുകനിത്യജയം

ഭാഗ്യം പുലരും ദിനമേ

അരുമദിനമേ ഹ ഹാ ഹ ഹഹഹാ

ഭാഗ്യം പുലരും ദിനമേ
