How can you feel the depth of love? Many people have many answers. But some songs take a very short time to make us feel it. One such experience is the song ‘Mizhiyoram Namintozhukum’ from Faasil Manjiil’s evergreen film Viririya Phoolam.
“Azhakerum will clear the mizhinire through the forest
A flower blooming in the snow
tell me tender flower”– the hero asks in that song. The song manages to transport the audience to the intense romance and even more intense revenge in the snowy setting of the film. The happy version and the sad version of the song had a big impact on the audience.
Jerry Amaldev’s heartbreaking music, Bichu Tirumala’s melancholic lyrics and Yesudas and Janaki’s melodious singing make the song one of the most beautiful Malayalam songs.
Apart from the slight difference in the lyrics, this song comes and goes twice in the film with the same melody and the same beautiful singing. All the while, one is humming that Mizhiyoram Nilavala is the guardian of Malayalee love nostalgia even after four decades.

A million miles of wet streams and garlands or shadows
Tell me, your flower that bloomed in the snow, your tender flower
Millions of wet streams and garlands on his head
Tell me, O flower that bloomed in the shade, O tender flower
You were blooming in a spring forest
My rosewater heart melted into the moon
You were blooming in a spring forest
My rosewater heart melted into the moon
Did that even make you sad?
Tell me, your flower that bloomed in the snow, your tender flower
A million miles of wet streams and garlands or shadows
Tell me, your flower that bloomed in the snow, your young flower
It will fall down during spring break
I can cover myself with the sheet that has fallen somewhere
It will be tiring during spring break
I can cover myself with the sheet that has fallen somewhere
Azhake…Azhakerum will clear the mizhinire through the forest
Tell me, your flower that bloomed in the snow, your tender flower
A million miles of wet streams and garlands or shadows
Tell me the flower that bloomed in the snow, your tender flower…
