船頭よ小便無用浪の月



sendô yo shôben muyô nami no tsuki



hey boatman
no pissing on the moon
in the waves!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I have given four versions in each language Malayalam, Tamizh[Tamil], Hindi and Sanskrit. Further permutations mixing and choosing from each version could yield many other possible variations.
