Jasmine flower born to my aunt,
Jasmine just right for my heart's desire!
On those sweet mango cheeks,
Mallamma, Chellama, Ponnamma,
I will shower kisses back and forth!
Mallamma, Chellama, Ponnamma!
In the town of Manamadurai,
You youthful girl grazing the cattle,
Girl with skin fair like fresh coconut,
Mallamma, Chellama, Ponnamma,
I will fulfill every need of yours!
Mallamma, Chellama, Ponnamma!
Riding on the Kunnakudi cart,
You who went along with your brother-in-law,
Just because you went with your brother-in-law...
Hey Mallamma, hey Chellama, hey Ponnamma!
Have you come here now without even taking a bath?
Draped in twenty-two cubits of bright dyed cloth,
Subbamma wears it and...
Hey Mallamma, hey Chellama, hey Ponnamma!
She sweeps the whole town off its feet!
Jasmine flower born to my aunt,
Jasmine just right for my heart's desire!
On those sweet mango cheeks,
Mallamma, Chellama, Ponnamma,
I will shower kisses back and forth!
Mallamma, Chellama, Ponnamma!
Eighteen years of youth, with a black cosmetic dot on your face,
Without even wearing a blouse...
Hey Mallamma, hey Chellama, hey Ponnamma!
Don't you go roaming all around!
Mangamma is your name, and like the Vaigai river in Madurai,
When I watch you taking a bath...
Hey Mallamma, hey Chellama, hey Ponnamma!
The temple bell inside me starts ringing!
Jasmine flower born to my aunt,
Jasmine just right for my heart's desire!
On those sweet mango cheeks,
Mallamma, Chellama, Ponnamma,
I will shower kisses back and forth!
Mallamma, Chellama, Ponnamma!
Running in haste with a palm-leaf basket under your arm,
Even if that palm-leaf basket tears apart...
Hey Mallamma, hey Chellama, hey Ponnamma!
I am never going to let you go!
Tying your hair in an axe-shaped bun,
O girl heading off to the temple,
Into that bun packed with desire...
Hey Mallamma, hey Chellama, hey Ponnamma!
Whom are you going to gather and tuck in?
Jasmine flower born to my aunt,
Jasmine just right for my heart's desire!
On those sweet mango cheeks,
Mallamma, Chellama, Ponnamma,
I will shower kisses back and forth!
Mallamma, Chellama, Ponnamma!
