Dhikkuru Peymirambu KaattishalupaadumThe wind sings through the reeds like a prayer raining down.
Parambu Pon Kisakal Chaayum VeyiluThe sunlight leans over the fields, full of golden stories.
Cheevidu MelappukiluThe cicadas are making such a noisy fuss.
Paathavakkilu PaathavakkiluBy the side of the path, by the side of the path.
Paathavakkile Kaanthathachedi PathiyengalaayiThe wild flowers by the path have grown into little bushes.

Vaathilil ThumbinilkkumA tender look is waiting right there at the doorway.
Aardramaam NokkuIt’s such a gentle and soulful gaze.
Pinnilengo MuzhagumA quiet word is echoing from somewhere far behind.
Shambthamaam VaakkuIt’s a peaceful word that lingers in the air.
Innumavide Undaamo Innumavide UndaamoWill it still be there today? I wonder if it’s still there now.

Asarumulla ChirichuThe star jasmine flowers have smiled and filled the village lanes.
Naattidavazhikal NirajuThe country paths are overflowing with their scent.
Veedanayumbam Virinjente Puthiya PoovuAs I’m heading home, my new flower has finally bloomed.
