Kadal shankhinullil njan jala mounamaayi
Kadal shankhinullil njan jala mounamaayi
Mazhakannil eeran nizhal chithramaayi
[Inside the conch from the sea, I became the silent water
In the eyes of rain, I became a wet silhouette]
Veyil jaalakangal thurannitta neram
Akathu ethi aetho nishaadardra sooryan
[When the sunny windows were opened
came inside, a brutal sun]

Kadal shankhinullil njan jala mounamaayi
[Inside the conch from the sea, I became the silent water]

Nilakkatha neela thira thaalam ente
hruthanthathinullil midikkunna neram
[The incessant blue waves’ rhythm, in my…
heart, is beating at this time]
Adangaatha shokam agadhathil ninnum
Adangaatha shokam agadhathil ninnum
ariyaatha vaakku aayi murinjethidumbol njaan jala mounamaayi
[The persistent sadness, from depths
when it comes up broken like an unfamiliar word, I became the silent water]

Kadal shankhinullil njan jala mounamaayi
[Inside the conch from the sea, I became the silent water]

Nisha raanthal ee thirikannu thaazhthi
nilaavinte veettil mayangunna neram
[The night lamp, with lowered flame
when it dozes in the house of moonbeams]
Oru aekaantha thaaram thamassinte koottil
Oru aekaantha thaaram thamassinte koottil
chirikkunna novu aayi maranju maayumbol njaan jala mounamaayi
[A lonely star in the nest of darkness
like a smiling sadness when it hides and disappears, I became the silent water]

Kadal shankhinullil njan jala mounamaayi
Mazhakannil eeran nizhal chithramaayi
[Inside the conch from the sea, I became the silent water
In the eyes of rain, I became a wet silhouette]
Veyil jaalakangal thurannitta neram
Akathu ethi aetho nishaadardra sooryan
[When the sunny windows were opened
came inside, a brutal sun]

Kadal shankhinullil njan jala mounamaayi
[Inside the conch from the sea, I became the silent water]
