Kaalam Kettupoy Kolam KettupoyTimes have soured and the world’s lost its shape,

Kaalam Kettupoy Kolam KettupoyTimes have soured and the world’s lost its shape,
Bhaagyarekha Thenju Maanju PoyThe line of fate’s worn thin and faded away.
Kaaluvecha Bhoomiyum Kuzhinju ThaanupoyiThe very ground I stepped on has sunk beneath me,
Kandu NinnathokkeyinnuEverything I once stood and witnessed,
Melle Maanju Maanju PoyiHas slowly, slowly vanished from my sight today.
Virinja Poomaram Kozhinju VeenupoyiThe blooming flower tree has withered and fallen,
Eduthuvechathokke Innu Thaazheveenu PoyiEverything I gathered has come crashing down today.
Kaalam Kettu Poyi Kolam KettupoyTimes have soured and the world’s lost its shape,
Bhaagyarekha Thenju Maanju PoyThe line of fate’s worn thin and faded away.
Kaalam Kettupoyi Kolam KettupoyTimes have soured and the world’s lost its shape,
Bhaagyarekha Thenju Maanju PoyThe line of fate’s worn thin and faded away.
Kanavaai Njaan Naalu Neele KandathokkeAll those dreams I envisioned for so long,
Ninavaai Appo Thaazhe Veenudanju PoyeThey’ve shattered into pieces upon meeting reality.
Ullilullathokke PoothuninnathokkeEverything held within, everything that once bloomed,
Aaraaro Kondu PoyeSomeone’s gone and taken it all away.
Kaanaan Kothiyeri NinnakaalamokkeAll the time I spent standing with a deep longing,
Kanmunnil Theepidicherinju PoyeHas caught fire and burnt to ashes right before my eyes.
Kaathuvechathokke Kaalamaavum MunneEverything I’ve saved up, even before its time,
Aaraaro Kondu PoyeSomeone’s gone and taken it all away.
Nokki Nokki Vecha MaambazhamThat mango I’ve been watching over so carefully,
Paricheduthu Melle Innu KondupoiThey’ve plucked it and slowly carried it off today.
Manassilullathokke MarachuvechathokkeEverything in my soul, everything I kept hidden,
Marichupoyi Mannadinju Poyi DaivameyIt’s all dead and buried in the dirt, oh God.
Kaalam Kettu Poyi Kolam KettupoyTimes have soured and the world’s lost its shape,
Bhaagyarekha Thenju Maanju PoyThe line of fate’s worn thin and faded away.
Kaalam Kettu Poyi Kolam KettupoyTimes have soured and the world’s lost its shape,
Bhaagyarekha Thenju Maanju PoyThe line of fate’s worn thin and faded away.
