Lyrics

त्वयि एकाकिन्यां किं करिष्यसि  (What will you do for your loneliness)
Tvayi ēkākin'yāṁ kiṁ kariṣyasi 
यदा सहचरः कोऽपि नास्ति  (When for companionship there is no one)
yadā sahacaraḥ kō̕pi nāsti 
चिरम् धावन्ती गुप्ता असि त्वम्  (Time has past, you have been hiding)
ciram dhāvantī guptā asi tvam
जानास्येव तत् गर्व इति  	(You must know that it is your pride)
 jānāsyēva tat garva iti 

लीले, साष्टाङ्गं प्रणमामि  (Leela, I fall at your feet)
līlē, sāṣṭāṅgaṁ praṇamāmi     
लीले, प्रिये, त्वम् याचेऽहम्  (Leela, my love, I implore thee)
līlē, priyē, tvam yācē̕ham 
लीले, चित्तव्याकुलम् शमय  (Leela, pacify my troubled mind)
līlē, cittavyākulam śamaya 

तव शोकम् अपहर्तुम् अयते  (I tried to remove your sorrow)
tava śōkam apahartum ayatē  
त्वत्पिता यदा निराशाम् (अजनयत्)  (When your father let you down)
tvatpitā yadā nirāśām (ajanayat) 
मूढोऽहम्! त्वयि अनुरागो जातः!  (Fool that I am, love for you was born)
mūḍhō̕ham! Tvayi anurāgō jātaḥ! 
लोक एव अधोमुखीकृतः!  (My whole world was turned upside down)
 Lōka ēva adhōmukhīkr̥taḥ! 

उन्मादात् प्राक् मम (Before I become mad)
Unmādāt prāk mama  
मां पुनरुद्धर (Bring me back to normalcy)
māṁ punarud'dhara 
गतिर्नास्तीति मा वद (Don't tell me that there's no hope / way)
gatirnāstīti mā vada 
व्यर्थमिदम् प्रेम मा ब्रूहि  (Don't tell me that my love is in vain)
vyarthamidam prēma mā brūhi

Lyrics and translation:

har tajurbe ko taraazuu mein rakhaa
hisaabon mein uljha rahaa

Why weigh every experience? Why be ensnared in calculating every move?

zindagii saamne aayi
to ehtraam bhii na kiyaa

Life appeared in all its glory but alas, wasn't heeded to.

ik samandar peegayaa, phirbhi.. pyaas vohii pyaas rahii
mere andar koii bagaavat si.. aag vohiii aag rahii

Drinking the ocean in its entirety didn't quench the thirst...
Inside me is a rebellious fire that doesn't abate...

Chanda Re / Vennilave - Acoustic Cover

I asked my 80 year old grandaunt (Saraswathi Sankaranarayanan) who is stuck in my place due to the Covid-19 lockdown to record a simple song that my 8 year old son could learn to sing. She picked this 500 year old Tiruppugazh 1328 (Erumayil Eri), and I played the violin accompaniment and added an ambient guitar background
Lyrics/Translation: http://kaumaram.com/thiru/nnt1328_u.html#english

Erumayil Eri

I take the ridiculous and the sublime, add cellos, violins, guitars and random internet collaborators to make music of sorts
