Natrinai 145

Punnai flower 

Flowers Adumbu will blossom in and around lagoon. The girls play in the sand where the lagoon waves dashes, gather the flowers and decorate their hair with the flowers. That is the place in which I met my lover. We exchange our love feelings without touching each other. As it is so, my mother, once asked me “where is he” thinking as we have enjoyed in love affairs. It is very bad. She reads the reality of my body in chastity.

You my friend, hear the sound the bell in his chariot. He is coming in night time. He will come to our street and stay under the tree Punnai with its broad trunk. What shall we do?

The heroine asks her friend-maid.

Poet: Nambi Kuttuvan
