Doore Mari NilpathaanuWe’re all standing far apart.
Sneham Enna Puthiya Kaala Paadam OthiReciting a new lesson of love for this era,
Lokam Onnu Pole Aayidunnuthe world is finally becoming one.
Jaathiyum MathangalumForgetting all castes and religions,
Marannore Vikharamode Eka Koshaeveryone’s living in fear of a single-cell
Jeeviye Bhayannu Vaanidunnuorganism ‘virus’ with deep emotion.
Pura Modikal Mukham MoodiyilIt’s a time when external vanities
Marayunna Kaalamvanish behind a face mask,
Kali Chirikalil Oru Mounamand a silence starts to emerge
Theliyunna Neramwithin our playful laughter.

Aavolam Aadunna KolangalWe’re just figures dancing as much as we can.
