Malankara Lenten hymns

[Jack4]

https://youtu.be/SKO6R17h_9g?t=126

This is a hymn from the Syro Malankara/West Syriac tradition (I'm from the East Syriac/Syro Malabar tradition)

I've set the time to begin at the third section, ravum pakalum. It is the left-aligned text you see after the entre-aligned sicut at 2:06, when that part begins. 

It is the Malayalam translation from the West Syriac original, which I shall (freely) translate to English

The door of God is open
to the repentant and sinner
and the good and evil-doers.
The woman who sinned,
Simon who denied,
the martyrs who died for Him
and the thief who got the Kingdom
testify this
Alleluia-u-alleluia


Another:
Hymn in the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeihP0vtHoI has three parts: Karthavin shushroosha, dharmam vari, swargapithave

He who forsakes the service of the Lord and profligates
is like a lamb caught by a fox
The lambs are the children of the Lord of life
The fox is Satan, the thief
Come, O those who stand outside, enter
The Bridegroom shall open the door and happily receive
Alleluia! you in the nuptial chamber

When a person who sowed justice, leaves this world
he shall reap resurrection; Blessed is he!
He who keeps his fasting and good works
is the one who looks earnestly for the Lord.
Christ the Master shall come and give him
the Fortune beyond hearing and imagination
Alleluia-u-Alleluia

Heavenly Father, answer Your children
there is no other father who can help us.
You deigned to create us by Your holy will
do not punish us by your displeasure
My Lord, teach me
to follow Your commandments and do good
Alleluia-Lord have mercy

Though I searched everywhere

I found nothing greater than fear of God

By His love

Joseph the just attained "mesren" kingship

The glorious Moses divided the sea by his stick

Ananias and others were saved by it from fire

It is more desirable than gold, sweeter than honey

Blessed is he who loves Divine Worship

 

O, I cried when I read with concern

the letter of St Paul addressed to my name

I saw that adulterers will be destroyed

thieves put to shame 

Evil-doers shall fall into burning fire

Woe to me, who has

done these sins from childhood

Like the sinful woman, the tax-collector

I beg, I cry:

Good Lord, have mercy!

The link has Syriac and English too. The English is their metrical translation.
