Spgm 067 - A Song On Mayavan Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

"Oh friend, the calf as stick
At the fruit tree He struck.
We'll hear from his flute
When He comes in this route."

"Mayavan churned the milk ocean.
He used a serpent as a rope to churn.
When we'll hear His flute sound?
Will He come somewhere around? "

"In the backyard Kannan broke a tree.
By this day time, is He now free?
Let us hear when the flute He plays, "
They sang like this in so many ways.

"When she came, her sari He kept.
How she would have then felt?
Can we now see that shy face?
See how He begins His plays? "

"He took revenge, we all know.
But she never failed to show
To Him, her heartfelt love,
How can we praise Him now? "

"With her hands, her face she hid
She lost her bangles in a bid.
How He saw her at that time?
How can we praise Him? "

THE PORTION OF A SCENE

"With his disk, He hid the sun.
Her lover is blue colored Kannan.
She stood there in between
Her brother Balaraman and Kannan."

"Narada, the celestial sage,
Came there with a message,
While he played his string
Like cuckoo began to sing."

THE DANCERS' PRAISE

"The plays of our Lord Kannan
And His elder brother Balaraman
With the shepherd women
How can they be forgotten? "

THE HIDDEN PRAISE

"How can they say our king
He was someone, by guessing,
Like the Lord who cared
For the cows in the herd."

"Our king held his tiger flag high.
On the Himalayas how it flies?
He stays in the Pugar fortress.
And he controls huge armies."

"King Cheran killed Kadamban
Diving deep inside the ocean.
He's staying at Vanchi Town.
How he be equal to Kannan? "

THE SONG IN THE FOREFRONT

"Meru Mountain as a staff to churn,
Vasugi Serpent as a rope to churn,
You Sea Lord, you did churn
Upside down the milk ocean."

"Is that hand which churned, oh Krishna,
It was tied by your mother Yasoda?
Why are you like this?
You're a puzzle to us."

"In your mouth you kept the world.
Is that mouth which swallowed
The stolen butter, oh you the endless,
What's the magic that gives us giddiness."

"You measured the entire universe,
With your two feet for a noble cause.
For Pandavas the same feet went
When as a messenger you were sent."

"You're Thirumal. You're Narasimhan.
So many wonders you've done.
You've killed all the enemies.
What kind of magic are these? "

GENERAL SONG

"His two feet which stood
O'er three worlds turned red,
To the forest when they had been
With his brother Lakshman."

"He killed Lanka's Ravan.
He destroyed one by one
All the demons there.
His fame let us listen."

"What for these eyes?
What for these ears?
If we don't see or hear
Our Lord, who's so near."

"Our tongues exist what for?
If they say not the daily prayer
In praise of Narayana, our Lord,
Who among all the Supreme God."

THE PRAYER

"Let this folk dance prayer
Be heard everywhere
By the Lord who saves
Us and our cows."

"May Lord save Pandian
Who's second to none
In fighting the enemies.
We wish him more success."
