[edit] Some verses from Chullikkadu

Choodathe poyi nee, ninakkayi naan
 Ente chora chaari chuvappicha
 Panineer pookkal

Kaanathe poyi nee, ninakkayi naan
 Ente praanante pinnil
 Kurichitta vaakkukal

English translation:

You left without gathering
 The Rose petals
 That I reddened with my blood
 Just For You

You left without seeing
 The words I had scribbled
 On my soul, for you
 ... Dukhamaanenkilum ninnekkurichulla dukham enthaandam anenikkomane

Even if its grief, the grief for you - Oh, how joyful it is, sweetheart.


Amme pinvili vilikkathe
 Mutinarukontente kazhalu kettathe

English translation: Mother, don't call me back
 Dont tie my legs with hair
