Iniyavale Erayumanthurai thaaye...!
" Iniyavale, Erayumanthurai thaye,
Iyarkkayin ilamai nirainthavale
Irupporkkinbam alippavale
Iranthor unnai ezhanthanare.
Thamiraparani unthan thazh thazhuva
Arabikkadal unthan thalai varuda
Kadarkkattu unaiyentrum aravanaikka
Kannai parippathu unnazhake.
Ilamkalayar,ilam meenavar
Kayalvizhi mathar kavin mihu mangayar
Kathiravan oliyinil kadarkkarai kathalar
Kalanthuravaduvar kalippuruvar."
-Pankiras 31-08-1979.
An off-hand translation as on 13th Dec, ' 05 would be....
Erayumanthurai, mother so sweet
Thou art youthful as the nature
Thou art the joy of the living
And the dead have lost thee.
Thamiraparani washes thy feet
Arabian Sea combs thy hair
The sea breeze embraces thee ever
That's thy beauty so enthralling.
Thy young and energetic fishermen
And thy fish-eyed and beautiful maidens
Make love one another and enjoy together
In thy sun baked shores so charming.
