The price of giving too much

    original Tamil poem in my blog

    Bless you,bless you

    Nalli.

    Now our minstrels

    play morning pastorals

    in the still drone of evening,

    and in the morning

    they play

    on their lutes

    evening seaside songs:

    all because, in your bounty,

    have taken on this business

    of giving and caring

    our men

    have forgotten

    our traditions.

    Vanparanar on Nalli
