Nursery of Words - Translation (Reshmi Warrier)

I like the Griffin's version below of Reshmi Warrier's translation Nursery of Words..
I have an idea the original must be really good, if even a casual translation sounds fine.
There are a couple of people including Vijay Nair, who do translations and transliterations from their original Malayalam. Their modest promotion of literature from their native tongues is note-worthy, I wish more people would do this.

Casually

Like you would look at your overgrown nails
Like a long forgotten tune remembered without reason
Like a dream you thought you dreamt before

And because there is nothing to restrain the loss of memory

We dig out buried meanings to see if they have sprouted roots.
