Tuft-headed Horses - Ainkurunooru 202

  

Will he come soon?

He who went in search of wealth

Taking my heart with him

Will he come

Before I wither away?

Won't you say good news, my friend?

Long live mother! Won't you listen! 

Like our town's parppana lads 

Have tufted heads, the chariot horses 

Of the Lord of the long mountains!

Long live mother! Give ears! 

Golden buds bloom like gems

The leaves my lover donned

Also served me to dress

The tree growing in his slopes

What tree is it, my friend!

Sweeter than muddied water

Dear friend, believe me. Muddied water in leaf covered pits is sweeter than milk mixed with the sweetest honey.

Carp fish like eyes

You know my friend, I can forget him and go about my life, if only my eyes didn't become dull and dreary. But these eyes!!
