Soorathenga vizhi azhagi setharavuttaalae
Uthu paathu pathu vayasu koranchuputtaalae
Thookkam pasi ellaathaiyum thorathivuttaale
Thokka enna sukka panni kadichu kittaalae
Thurumbuduchu kedantha manam
Thuru thurunu alaiyudhappa
Karunkallu pol irunthavanthaan
Kavithai ellaam ezhuthuranppa
Ava pona theruvellaam
Poovaasam veesa vechaa
Avaloda nenappaadhaan
Iravellaam pesavechaa
Thurumbuduchu kedantha manam
Thuru thurunu alaiyudhappa
Karunkallu polirunthavanthaan
Kavithaiyellaam ezhuthuranppa
Soorathenga vizhi azhagi setharavuttaalae
Uthu paathu pathu vayasu koranchuputtaalae
Thookkam pasi ellaathaiyum thorathivuttaale
Thokka enna sukka panni kadichu kittaalae
Haa…aaa….

Jodiya ladiya nenjam yengudhu
Oramaa nikkura hyder-kaala cycle ah

Haikoovah urumaara marabukkavithai

The beauty with striking eyes smashed me like a ritual coconut and scattered me!
Staring straight at me, she took ten years off my age!
She chased away both my sleep and my appetite!
She turned me into dried meat and chewed me right up!
My heart that was lying rusted,
is now wandering around full of restless energy!
I, who was once hard as a black stone,
am now writing poetry!
Down every street that she walked,
she made the sweet scent of flowers drift in the air.
Thinking constantly about her,
she made me talk to myself all night long.
My heart that was lying rusted,
is now wandering around full of restless energy!
I, who was once hard as a black stone,
am now writing poetry!
The beauty with striking eyes smashed me like a ritual coconut and scattered me!
Staring straight at me, she took ten years off my age!
She chased away both my sleep and my appetite!
She turned me into dried meat and chewed me right up!
Ha... aaa...
At an age when my hearing and eyesight are fading,
my heart yearns for a companion as sweet as a laddu!
For this antique bicycle from Hyder Ali's era standing in the corner,
you mischievous girl, your gaze patches up the flat tire!
Like a strong Kangayam bull sitting at a computer,
I stayed glued to it without rest, just for you!
To transform into a short modern haiku, a classical poem
is yearning and struggling inside!
Aiyo, aiyo, aiyyayo...
The beauty with striking eyes smashed me like a ritual coconut and scattered me!
Staring straight at me, she took ten years off my age!
She chased away both my sleep and my appetite!
She turned me into dried meat and chewed me right up!
She nudges me in silence, she shows me the way,
and her gaze plays out clever tricks!
I turn into a cat craving milk,
what kind of magic spell did this woman cast?
My heart spins around like a pinwheel,
restlessly fluttering and drifting, all for you!
Oh my, even with advancing age, without losing your charm,
you put even a sculpted statue to shame!
Aiyo... aiyo... aiyyayo...
The beauty with striking eyes smashed me like a ritual coconut and scattered me!
Staring straight at me, she took ten years off my age!
She chased away both my sleep and my appetite!
She turned me into dried meat and chewed me right up!
My heart that was lying rusted,
is now wandering around full of restless energy!
I, who was once hard as a black stone,
am now writing poetry!
Down every street that she walked,
she made the sweet scent of flowers drift in the air.
Thinking constantly about her,
she made me talk to myself all night long.
