Centuries' taste buds,
In the veins, in the sweat,
Blood and sweat,
Cocktails are my poems.
Like a flower bloomed by 
Hunter of the forest,
Flowers bloomed by
Hunter in the village.


Not forgetting the past,
Timed the poems in the present,
Transformed into seeds of the future.

To village life,
To the topic of life,
New meanings danced.
No power, No rules,
On the edges of the Sword,
Or in the barrels.
It's built on the rocks.
Rocks of laws.

Came as a beast in the yesteryears,
Time arrived as God.
In the new world order.
Old paths needed revisions,
With rights tight in the hand.

In the Poothappattu, Kavileppattu,
Sacrificed eyes for the baby,
Sacrifice the golden rule of olden days,
Golden rule of mothers' love.

Like a hunter in the forest,
Bloomed the flower.
Hunter in the villages 
blossomed.
