[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
