On The Seashore
(For the Malayalam version, click here.)

The wet seashore,
The raging waves
And the lengthening shadows.

On this lonely seashore 
Only the two of us.

The dusk, shy and beautiful
With its nimble fingers
Draws rainbows on your cheeks.

On this white sandy beach, I sit
Looking at your long blue eyes
 
The wind is howling;
The cold winter night comes
Clad in her dark robes.

With her long fingertips,
The sea rubs away the footprints
Still  remaining on the shore.

Looking at the setting sun
You sit here beside me.
On this lonely seashore
Only the two of us.
