(Translation on request for RA)
Mridula Varier is calling out the fears faced by womanhood through her single – Thraana. The lyrics asks if being a women means being sentenced to pain until you die and how there should be strict laws against the cruel atrocities women face. A very poignant song for the times.

Koorambu kollunnu sthreethvangal engume
Kaarunyam enthe marakkunnu ulakam ivide?
[Sharp arrows strike womanhood everywhere
Why is the world forgetting kindness here?]
Aalambam illaathe kezhunna naari thante
deena swarangal muzhangunnu dinavum arike
[Of the woman who begs without any help,
the feeble yearning reverberating everyday here!]
Kazhukan mizhi munakal avalil veezhunnathinu evide aruthi?
Kaamam nakha munakal udalil aazhthunnathinu evide aruthi?
[The vulture like pointed stares on falling on her, when will they end?
The finger nails of lust piercing her body, when will they end?]
Pennu aayaal novu aano mannu aakum dinam vare?
[Is it a pain to be a woman until you become dust?]

Koorambu kollunnu sthreethvangal engume
Kaarunyam enthe marakkunnu ulakam ivide?

Kelkkunnathu ellam neettunna vaartha
Pedichu maathram penninte yaathra
[All that we hear is painful news
It’s always fearful, the journey of a woman!]
Vikalahrydayam eriyum valayil
Janani, yuvathi, shishuvum irakal
[In the snares of perverted hearts
mothers, young ladies, children, all are victims]
Udane idanam ithinu thadakal
Varanam puthiya niyama vidhikal
[We should put a stop to this now
New laws should come against this]
Kai koruthu koode nilkkumo….. naade?!
[Will you stand hand in hand with us…. hey land?]

Koorambu kollunnu sthreethvangal engume
