SEEMS BYGONE, BUT NOT THAT FAR



That was a gaze, indeed it was, which came piercing many things that impeded me from him. When it fell on me, I had butterflies fluttering all over in my stomach.
I sat frozen, totally deaf-mute to the music class that was going on with my heart pounding relentlessly. Had never noticed him before, never once did.
I was inattentive to my friend who was jabbering about something, unaware of his gaze and my restlessness. I was so lost wondering who this handsome guy was.
It was a camping. Days passed with his gazes following me all the while. And at last, came that day, foregone were the endless joys and celebrations, the last day of camping. Everyone parted, so did we, without a word in exchange, without a goodbye.
Days became dull, feelings surged and I even felt tabled. A month was left ahead to wait, wait and wait until I meet him once again.

A novice translation. Not sure how much justice done to the wonderful composition https://youtu.be/r0np3VdQF4U അതിരെഴാ മുകിലേ നിൻ  സജലമാ മറുകരയിൽ  അടരുവാൻ വിതുമ്പി നിന്നു  പരിചിതം ഒരു മൗനം   One familiar silence Stood at the stupor other side Of the boundless cloud, you Yearning to get seperated   അതിരെഴാ മുകിലേ  നിൻ ഉപബോധ മാത്രയിൽ ജലതാളമാർന്നൊരീ ഹൃദയം അതിലെഴും ലഹരികൾ  അതിഗൂഢമോരോരോ  അണുവിലും പടരുന്ന വേഗം   Oo boundless cloud A heart with rythm of water In your subconsciousness The dern rapidity  Of the intoxications in that Spreading through each atom   അതിരെഴാ മുകിലേ  നിൻ ഉപബോധ മാത്രയിൽ ജലതാളമാർന്നൊരീ ഹൃദയം അതിലെഴും ലഹരികൾ  അതിഗൂഢമോരോരോ  അണുവിലും പടരുന്ന വേഗം   Oo boundless cloud A heart with rythm of water In your subconsciousness The dern rapidity  Of the intoxications in that Spreading through each atom   അറിയല്ല...

A LOCK OF HAIR

Image
How'll it be to watch two souls in faded grayish blue outfits, looking into eternity! Needless to say, they were lovers. On a drizzling, calm seashore, at the fall of dusk, who else they should be! Came blowing in, an unharming, unforeseen cool breeze and took away her grayish blue mushroom hat. Strikingly, a lock of hair, all that's left on her smooth head was that. Throwing away the umbrella, his hands that draped her went in search of the lost hat. But far from his reach, the hat had devoured into unknown depths of the mighty ocean. Sadly, neither her heart nor her hat reverted and that head with a lock of hair was left to drown in a deep sea of grief.

TO MY PALLBEARERS

Another attempt at translation... To my pallbearers There’s a secret to tell which is not in the testament There will be a floret in place of my heart Gifted by the one who enlightened  About the inner truths of love During the days of curiousness Pluck off the flower from the heart  Before encrusting with soil Cover the face with petals One petal on the palm with faded fate line I want to retrace through the flower I want to retrace through the flower No time prior to death To reveal this truth It'll flow off to eternal rest Through the chilled water That was poured Else leave without closing the coffin Else leave without closing the coffin Henceforth, deceased would be my allies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._Ayyappan
