Chinna Raasa
Dhibu Ninan Thomas | Kapil Kapilan • From “Kombu Vatcha Singamda”
Gkb contrasts fragile clay horses with destructive golden needles. One lyric shows mud figures dissolving in rivers while another describes self-inflicted eye injuries. These parallel images demonstrate cherished efforts destroyed by circumstance. Kapil Kapilan delivers both scenarios with consistent vocal weight.
Chinna RasaOh, little king,
Mannula Kudhira SenjaI made a horse out of clay,
Aathula Erangi Puttenand took it down to the river,
Karaiyudhu Thannikkula Chinna Rasait’s dissolving in the water, oh, little king.
Chinna RasaOh, little king,
Thangathula Oosi SenjaI made a needle out of gold,
Kannukulla Kuthikittenand poked it right into my eye,
Ullukulla Uruthudhaiya Chinna Rasait’s piercing me from the inside, oh, little king.
Chinna RasaOh, little king,

Unnodu Van SerudheIt comes and joins you,
Unnai Thalatudheit sings you a lullaby,
Oh Valigal Adhu Sugangal Anadheoh, these pains have now become pleasures.

Chinna RasaOh, little king.
Usura Urukki Uruvam SenjaI melted my very soul to give it a form,
Natpunu Than Pera Vecha Chinna Rasaand I named it ‘friendship,’ oh, little king.
Manna Thinna Kalam EllamAll those times I had to ‘eat dirt’ and struggle,
Mannukkulla Ponnadhenna Chinna Rasawhy have they all been buried in the ground, little king?
Malathennu KootukkullaInside the nest of a barren bird,
Kal Erinja Sabam Enna Chinna Rasawhat curse made someone throw a stone, little king?
