Rajani,
Can 'SOkam konnu' be--to do away with my SOkam?? connu in malayALam=konRu (to kill) in tamizh...

Arasi : My knowledge of Malayalam is sketchy at best. You are probably right. But TKG's tranlation (from the above website) says " Please go and tell him about my longing for him and bring him along with you to give me happiness" so I am not sure.

Hello Rajani and Arasi,
I am no expert of Classical Music or Malayalam yet as a Malayali I can tell this much about
the song.

vEgam cennu - vegam 'cennu' can be vegam 'chennu' meaning Go quickly.

shOkam connu - shokam 'connu' should be shokam 'chonnu' meaning tell my sorrow and yes its her shokam that nayika is requesting sakhi to convey.

May be if you can listen to the song from the website mentioned above the pronounciation would be clearer. Thank you.

Hope I am not confusing you all.

Devi

Not at all. The object of all this speculation is the desire in us to do our best in understanding what we sing and dance to! A forum means, we discuss things for better understanding...
