Ninnodu Cheraan DoorangalilAcross the distances to reach you,
Vallathe Thane Neerunnu NjanI’m burning up all by myself.
Venchillu Vathil Charunnu NeeYou’re closing the shimmering glass door.

Ithuvare Vanoram Neeye Tharum PoleLike the vast forest edge you’ve given me until now,
Innennolam Neeyalle Thalam NenjoramHaven’t you been the rhythm of my heart until today?
Ente Ninnullil PinnentheWhat else of mine is left deep inside you?
Ennalum Kannalle Omal KootalleStill, aren’t you the apple of my eye, my sweet companion?
Onnunum Mindathe InnentheWhy are you silent today, saying nothing at all?
Makalayi Karuthi Thanalayi Thazhuki Oro Nalum NeeyeI’ve cherished you like a daughter and shielded you like shade every day.
Uyirayi Arivayi Chiriyayi Alivayi Oro Neram NeYou’re my life, my wisdom, my smile, and my mercy every single moment.
Enthane Maunam Thare AthireWhy is there this silence, my star, my Athira?
