Pookkale Vaanile PanineerpoovukaleO flowers, O roses of the sky
Pakalin NovukaleO pains of the day
Thaazheyenthinu VannupoyWhy did you come down to this place
Veruthe VerutheIn vain, all in vain
Enthe Onnum MindaathooWhy don’t you say a thing?
Maunam MinnitheeraathooWhy does this shimmering silence never end?
Malaronnum PookkaanillalloNot a single flower is here to bloom
Thaliralle Poonthalir PoovaayitheeranoruI’m just a tender bud, and to become a flower
Nokkai Nalloru Vaakkai Theeruka NeeYou must become a kind glance, a gentle word
Perattin Maaril Neeraadum VennilaaO moonlight that bathes on the river’s chest
Thalire Azhake Raavin VenpraaveO tender bud, O beauty, O white dove of the night
Akale Vinnin CharivilodamA boat on the distant slope of the sky
KadavilethumbolAs it reaches the shore
Kanavupole KarayilaaroLike a dream, someone on the shore
Poonilaavin PoovirukkaanTo gather the flowers of the moonlight
