*Makane, parayumo

Ee ormakal, marakumo?

Makane, parayaamo

Ee bandhangal, marakaamo?*

Now it’s time to go

But I just cannot leave I swear

Until my heart says so, I know

My life’s still here

And if that should change

Someday

I’ll give you a call

And I know you’ll be here

Till then my child

I’d rather we share

Our Hopes and not fears

Whenever you’re here

-Suraj Mani

* my attempt at translating the malayalam verse is: 

*Tell me, my child, these memories,

Do i let them fade?

Tell me, my child, do i have it in me

To see these relationships, erased?*
