Kaalangalere KadannuvoHave so many ages passed by
En Kanmani ChaaratthananjidaanFor my darling to arrive at my side
Mizhikoottile ThirinaalamaayAs a tiny flame within my eyes
KozhiyaathoromalormmayaayAs a cherished memory that never wilts
Nee VannuvoHave you finally come
Kaattaadikkoottavum KaayalolangalumThe swirling winds and the waves on the lake
Nin Kadhakal Kelkkaan NinnuvoDid they pause just to hear your stories
Ee Ushasandhyakal Eenathil PaadunnaThese dawns and dusks sing out in melody
Raagangal Chernini PaadidaamLet’s join their tunes and sing along now
Kurumbathiye KilikonchalaayOh mischievous one, with your bird-like chatter
Neeyen Chaarathu Thathi ThathiAs you hopped and fluttered near my side
Paarunna Maadathayaayi VannuvoDid you come to me like a soaring dove
Kaalangalere KadannuvoHave so many ages passed by
En Kanmani ChaaratthananjidaanFor my darling to arrive at my side
Neyyaambal Paadangal OlolamaadumbolWhen the water lily fields sway in the gentle waves
Ormmachilampoli KettuvoDid you hear the chime of memory’s anklets
Hamsangalothunna Chinkaaram KettidaanTo listen to the graceful swans’ sweet songs
Paathayorathu Naam KaathuvoDid we wait together by the path’s edge
Ida Muriyunnen Gathasmruthikalil NeeIn the middle of my fragmented past
Raavirul Maaykkunna Pon VettamYou are the golden light that erases the dark of night
Perunna Venthinkalaay VannuvoHave you come as the radiant moon that carries it
