Tiger Sabu welcomes Maveli 2018


Tiger Sabu  welcomes  Maveli   2018

Translated  by

( Hear this   song of welcome  in Malayalam   by Tiger Sabu    who is  travelling   along with Maveli to see Kerala- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09ofHdmcvds ,For you  to understand   the song , I am translating it in to english.)

When the king Maveli   reached  Kerala
In the  umbrella  boat  moving and dancing.
Tiger sabu said, “do not try to see  any people,
Because   all of   them are   in camps.”

There is no theft  and there  is no cheating,
Water   is every where , Oh  our dear king.
Do  you   think that  it is a flower  Rangoli,
It is only  a close   up of a fully flowered tree,”

“Now we do not need  man to pluck coconuts,
For if we go in a boat  , it can easily   be   done,
Do you see   a long nail  there  far off,
It is only the tip   of their own TV   tower.”

Once upon a time    a she    crow  in a pot,
Put stones   and the   water  rose up in it,
Nowadays   humans do put stones to build a  high flat,
And the water   is just rushing  up any thing.

For all the  tricks and cheats   that they done,
Should  they     not get   back oh king.”  Then Maveli said
Oh  Tiger boy , you will get  lots of work,
Definitely if   you follow   your path like this.

In all the paths    where   water  should flow,
Did  they not stop  it by building    high walls.
Tell them  to please   start thinking  now itself.
Ways of recovering  our own old   Kerala,

IN this land  like  a serial story, all these
Would   come   again again my tiger boy,”
The tiger bioy  said  , “ i wiould definitely  tell them by  barking , oh king,
Only thing is  that the     country   should wake up   hearing that.

IN this land of Kerala   , even now  ,
No one wishes to  open the door  if a Dog barks,
When the king Maveli   reached  Kerala
In the  umbrella  boat  moving and dancing.
