Kavya Narthaki Chilamboli Charthiya
Kalayude Naade Malanade
O glorious land of Kerala,
The Poetic Danseuse
Wearing Feet Bells
And the land of eternal Arts !
Kalpana than kali vanchi pattukal
Kallolinikalam ozukum Naade!
These lines are reminiscent of Shakespeare's eulogy of England !
This royal throne of Kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars
This semi Eden, this demi Paradise
England, bound in with a triumphant sea,
Whose rocky shores beat the envious siege
Of watery Neptune !
Small poems, Kili Pattukal
Flow from Thee !
Mohamunarthum Mohiniyattom
Modiyiladum Devadasikal
The lovely Mohiniattam is from Thee
Which arouses Moha, Desires !
Ambala Nadayil Thamburu meetti
Avide Valarnu Koodiyattavum Koothum !
From the temple halls
Arose Koothu and Koodiattam !
Kairali Unarnoo, Kairali Unarnoo
Kairali Unarnunarnoo !
Kerala awakened, Kerala awakened
Kairali Unarnoo, Kairali Unarnoo !
