K. S. Harisankar sings that before the beloved arrived, he never knew true breath. Nithya Mammen sings that the lover feels like a January flower or the wind that brushes the window.

Januariyile Thenmazhathodum PoovoAre you a flower touched by January’s honey-like rain?
Janalazhikalil Chamaramidum KaatoOr are you the wind fanning through the window bars?
Poonerukayil Ramazhaviral PoleyYou’re like rainbow fingers grazing a soft crown of hair.
Envarikalil Njanezhudhidum PeroOr are you the name I write within my verses?
Nee Thanna LalanangalThe tender care you’ve given me,
Njaan Entey PunyamaakiI’ve made it into my own sacred blessing.
Nee Ekumee DinangalThese days that you’re giving me,
Maayale Ennu ThonniI feel as if they’ll never fade away.
Nee Akumee ThuvadiyilWithin this garden of flowers that you’ve become,
MohangaluyaladeeeMy deepest desires are swaying like a swing.
