72. RAAKAALAM PETHLAEM MEIPARKAZHL (While shepherds watched their flocks)


1.       Raakaalam pethlaem meiparkazhl
          Tham manthai kaathanar;
          Karthaavin thoothar iranka
          Vin jothi kandanar.
2.       Avarkazhl achankozhlavum
          Vin thoothar: ‘thikil yen?
          Ellaarukkum santhoshamaam
          Narchaithi kooruvaen.’
3.       ‘Thaaveethin vamsam oorilum,
          Mei kiristhu naathanaar
          Poolokathaarkku ratchakar
          Intraikku piranthaar.’
4.       Ithunkazhl adaiyaazhlamaam,
          Munnanaimeethu neer
          Kanthai pothintha kolamaai
          Appaalanai kaanpeer’
5.       Entruraithaan; akshanamae
          Vinnoraam kootathaar
          Aththoothanodu thontriyae
          Karthaavai pottrinaar.
6.       ‘Maa unnathathil, aandavaa
          Neer maenmai adaiveer;
          Poomiyil samaathaanamum
          Nallorkku eekuveer.’
