Kunchan Nambiar [1700-1800]

[ Famous works:  Symanthakam, Krishnaleela, Kiratham, Kartha Veeryarjuna Vijayam, Kalyana Sougandikam, Ghoshayaathra]


Myths grew into seeds,

In Thullal Katha,

And Atta Katha.


You sing cheerful tales,

Cheerful life happens to you,

Sings Kunchan Nambiar.


Big poets arrived,

With devotional songs,

Not the style of Kunchan.



Never in devotion,

You find Kunchan,

In Ezhuthachan,

In Cherrussery,

And in Poonthanam.

Never mind, Never mind,

Prayer and devotion 

Not his tool, 

Still, he is cool.


You sing cheerful tales,

Cheerful life happens to you

Sings Kunchan Nambiar.


Never in romance,

Never in sympathy,

But in fun and pun

What a pun! 

Mocking the right places,

Riding with words of fire,

Into an evergreen classic.

Kunchan Thuallal poems.


From Padayani Thullal,

Kunchan seeds and words 

Grew and glow, Sheethan Thullal,

Parayan Thullal,

Ottam Thullal.

Dancing art forms.


You sing cheerful tales,

Cheerful life happens to you,

Sings Kunchan Nambiar.


Sewing together Chakyar Kooth,

And thullal stories,

Kunchan Dance-songs,

Not in the Priesty stages,

But in the People stages.


Bosses and Kings,

Priests and bosses like priests,

Torn into pieces,

The Kunchan poet,

All-time poet.

Evergreen poet.


Dancing Kunchan,

One side - he jumps,

Lady's side, next time,

Dancing to the men's side.


You sing cheerful tales,

Cheerful life happens to you,

Sings Kunchan Nambiar.


Pun and fun for everyone,

Mocking, joking- everyone.

Kunchan Thullal Dancing songs.
