oru chempaneer pooviruthu njan omale

ഒരു ചെമ്പനീര്‍ പൂവിറുത്തു ഞാനോമലേ
ഒരു വേള നിന്‍ നേര്‍ക്കു നീട്ടിയില്ലാ
എങ്കിലും എങ്ങനേ നീ അറിഞ്ഞൂ
എന്റെ ചെമ്പനീര്‍ പൂക്കുന്നതായ് നിനക്കായ്
സുഗന്ധം പരത്തുന്നതായ് നിനക്കായ്



malayalam words for those who have a hard time reading it..

Oru Chembaneer Pooviruthu njanomale
Oru vela nin nerkku neettiyilla
Enkilum engane nee arinju
Ente chembaneer pookkunnathaay ninakkaay
Sungandam parathunnathaay ninakkaay

Explaining the 'figure of speech' can't be better than this example.

Well, I am looking for someone whom I can give a bunch of roses to. A special someone,.......
