Neel Ponmane (Blue Kingfisher) is originally a Malayalam film duet composed by Salil Chowdhary and sung by Yesudas with another singer. I have listened to this from childhood and love it.
When I tried singing it on on Smule, Aai (my mother) said I am butchering the Malayalam words. So I wrote Marathi lyrics for two stanzas and sung the third in Malayalam. But this is not a word to word translation of the original song, just my own poetic attempt. A couple of lines in Malayalam that I understood ('ninde pat nyan ketu - I heard your song' and 'then kudikyun - drink nectar') I tried to incorporate in the Marathi version.
निळ्या निळ्या पाखरा, रे निळ्या निळ्या पाखरा
माझ्या अंगणी येऊन देई, कोणता संकेत रे तू, निळ्या पाखरा
जागती हृदयात ह्या, जुन्या हरवल्या आठवणी,
तू साद देताना, प्रतिसाद मी देते, तुझे मधुगान ऐकुनी
नाव ना तुज गाव ना, तरी ओळखीचा तू मला
हे बंध आपुले, मी आज जाणियले, पुरे देहभान हरपुनी
