Kannamthumbi Koottam Malayannan Kunjin KoodeA swarm of dragonflies joins a little squirrel.
Onnam Kunnin Mele Oru Kunjikkoodum KoottiTogether they built a tiny nest atop the first hill.
Kannamthumbi Koottam Malayannan Kunjin KoodeA swarm of dragonflies joins a little squirrel.
Onnam Kunnin Mele Oru Kunjikkoodum KoottiTogether they built a tiny nest atop the first hill.
Etho Chillakalil Oonjaalaadum NannangadikalAncient urns swinging on some unknown branches.
Ravin Thazhvarayil Onnayethum MinnaminnikalFireflies gathering together in the night’s valley.
Chiri Chilambaninje Mathi MarannalanjeAdorned with laughter’s anklets, wandering in a trance.
Manassonnu Thelinje Lathiri Kathana ManareThe mind’s cleared, like a heart burning like a ‘sparkler’.
Oruvatta Chembilayil Thullithennum NeermaniyaayLike a dewdrop dancing on a round ‘colocasia’ leaf.
Uthirunna Manjalayil Ponnayi Marum Thoo VeyilaayLike pure sunlight turning to gold in the falling mist.
Niramezhum Thammil Cherum MazhavillazhakaayLike the beauty of a rainbow where seven colors merge.
Etho Chillakalil Oonjaalaadum NannangadikalAncient urns swinging on some unknown branches.
Ravin Thazhvarayil Onnayethum MinnaminnikalFireflies gathering together in the night’s valley.
Poypoya Kalamo Kayyil VaranithaThe days gone by won’t ever return to our hands.
Poykkolamadi Naam InnolameWe’ve played our masked roles until today.
Kannil Kalangamaay Thenulla VaakkumaayWith a blemish in our eyes and honey in our words.
Ullam Marachu Naam InnolameWe’ve hidden our true hearts until today.
Palavazhikalilaay Vidhi Kali ThudarukayaayFate’s game continues down many different paths.
Athinude Charadil Oru PaavakkoothayMoving like a puppet show on its strings.
Ividini Aadukayaay Innum Theera NaadakamaayDancing here in a play that never seems to end.
Neri Marannodukayaay Unnam Thettum MayukayaayRunning away from truth as the goal fades into error.
Oru Naalil Vanne Cheram Neerinu KaniyaayOne day we’ll reach our end, like a gift to the waters.
Chiri Chilambaninje Mathi MarannalanjeAdorned with laughter’s anklets, wandering in a trance.
Manassonnu Thelinje LathiriThe mind’s cleared, like a ‘sparkler’…
Kathana Manare…my burning heart.
Chiri Chilambaninje Mathi MarannalanjeAdorned with laughter’s anklets, wandering in a trance.
Manassonnu Thelinje Lathiri Kathana ManareThe mind’s cleared, like a heart burning like a ‘sparkler’.
Oruvatta ChembilayilOn a round ‘colocasia’ leaf,
Thullithennum Neermaniyaaylike a dewdrop dancing and sliding.
Uthirunna ManjalayilIn the falling mist,
Ponnayi Marum Thoo Veyilaaylike pure sunlight turning into gold.
Niramezhum Thammil Cherum MazhavillazhakaayLike the beauty of a rainbow where seven colors merge.
