Charanam


1.Soma Suryava nayana, Un sareeramellam,
Chornthirukka Vendiya Karanangal enna.

Kapadamillamale, Urayum Nanna

2.Mohiniyai Kandu Bhogikka Asai kondu.

Padivritha bhangam Cheytha Prabhu Neeranna

4.Vervayal Annai Thantha Salvai Nananchu Poche,
Visala lalada basmam azhiyalache,
Nalu Nariyargal Arindal enakku eche,
Nan enna thavam cheytheno, enakku Vache.

Charanam

1.Oh Darling mine with Sun and moon as eyes
Why should you look so worn.
Please darling mine,
Tell all the reasons for this first.

2.Did you follow Mohini ,
And got insulted by Hari, Oh darling mine.

2.Did you deceive the sages fine,
And followed their wives dear,
And insulted by them, oh darling mine

Why is the shirt,
Given by your mummy, so wet,
And oh why, your forehead broad,
Is full of water darling mine.

4.When four ladies know,
About thee , darling mine,
They will abuse me, darling mine.
What penance did I , darling mine,
To get an husband like you , darling mine.
