Samayamam radhathil njan malayalam devotional+funeral song

English Translation below
lyrics:fr nagel
it is one of the oldest devotional malayalam songs and is written by a german missionary to india...V nagel..the song has been translated into 17 languages though it was originally written in malayalam..and even incorporated in a film..
The song depicts the journey of ones life...but it is mistakenly interpreted as many as just a funeral song...but actually its just a song about ones journey from birth ...to home ie heaven

Samayamaam radhathil njaan swarga yathra cheyyunnu
En swadesam kaanvathinnai njaan thaniye pokunnu
Samayamaam radhathil njaan swarga yathra cheyyunnu
En swadesam kaanvathinnai njaan thaniye pokunnu

Aakeyalpa neram maathram ente yaathra theeruvaan
Aake ara naazhika maathram ee uduppu maaruvaan
Samayamaam radhathil njaan swarga yathra cheyyunnu
En swadesam kaanvathinnai njaan thaniye pokunnu

Raathriyil njaan daivathinte kaikalil urangunnu
Appozhumen radhathinte chakram mumpottodunnu
Samayamaam radhathil njaan swarga yathra cheyyunnu
En swadesam kaanvathinnai njaan thaniye pokunnu

Raavile njaan daivathinte kaikalil unarunnu
Appozhumen manassinte swapnam mupottodunnu
Samayamaam radhathil njaan swarga yathra cheyyunnu
En swadesam kaanvathinnai njaan thaniye pokunnu

Ee prapancha sugham thedaan ippozhalla samayam
En swadesathu chellenam yesuvine kaanenam
Samayamaam radhathil njaan swarga yathra cheyyunnu
En swadesam kaanvathinnai njaan thaniye pokunnu
Samayamaam radhathil njaan swarga yathra cheyyunnu
En swadesam kaanvathinnai njaan thaniye pokunnu
English Translation of the song "Samayamam radhathil (On the chariot of time)"

In the chariot of the time I am on my homeward journey
Running,striving all my waty to..
see the land of my own I will be reaching to its end

When I wake up at the daybreak I am blessed and fresh new day..
For the end of all my voyage is closer than yesterday..!

While in peacefull night of sleep I rest upon the arms of God
Still my chariot wheels keep rolling Straight forward my Sweet Homeland.

It's no time to seek the pleasures of this world and for the flesh
Look upon the face of God there,at my home, that's all I want..

Nothing needed on my journey that makes it so cumbersome
Just some water, just a li'l bread For the thirst and hunger's sake!


What a beauty is my homeland, How sweet is my Lord's reward..
No I dont want this world's glory this is not my real home! .

I do have my home eternal By the shore of Paradise
Tree of life with fruits the sweetest Standing by my window's side..

Angels waiting all my way long Welcome me to my own home
Refresh my strength, restore my soul Meet my needs till I'm home there!

I will praise God, forever more For He made me heir of this
Glorious portin, life eternal With His saints, though I was dead!!

You are right; we tend to misinterpret and categorize songs like this that talk about eternity as funeral songs.
