Chinnamani ponnumani
Sirichakka koyil mani
Unnai peththa raasavukku
Avathaandaa kanninmani
Pethedutha thaai oruthi
Nee thathedutha thaai oruthi
Indha iruvarukkum
Pillai nee oruthan
Chinnamani ponnumani
Sirichakka koyil mani
Unnai peththa raasavukku
Nee thaandaa kanninmani
Pethedutha thaai oruthi
Nee thathedukka vachupputtaa
Andha iruvarukkum
Kelvi naan oruthan
Chinnamani ponnumani
Sirichakka koyil mani
Unnai peththa raasavukku
Avathaandaa kanninmani
Ethanaiyo vaasalilae
Kaala vachen appodhu
Vachchadhukku thandanaiya
Anubavichaen ippodhu

Poi maana pulli maanunnu nambikittaa
Oru mullaala iva maalaiya katti vachaa

Little gem, golden jewel,
when she laughs, it sounds like a temple bell.
To the king who fathered you,
she is the apple of his eye, my boy.
One mother gave birth to you,
and another mother you adopted.
To both of these mothers,
you are the only child.
Little gem, golden jewel,
when she laughs, it sounds like a temple bell.
To the king who fathered you,
you are the apple of his eye, my son.
The mother who gave birth to you
made you adopt another mother.
Between both of them,
I am the one left as an unanswered question.
Little gem, golden jewel,
when she laughs, it sounds like a temple bell.
To the king who fathered you,
she is the apple of his eye, my boy.
At so many doorsteps,
I stepped foot back then.
And as punishment for setting foot there,
I suffer the consequences now.
At so many doorsteps,
I stepped foot back then.
And as punishment for setting foot there,
I suffer the consequences now.
The seed that I sowed myself
sprouted just yesterday, my boy.
At least you learn from this and walk the right path,
looking at how my life turned out.
Believing a fake deer to be a real spotted deer,
she wove a garland made of thorns.
The pain of carrying this on my shoulders...
my heart cannot bear it, my son.
Little gem, golden jewel,
when she laughs, it sounds like a temple bell.
To the king who fathered you,
you are the apple of his eye, my son.
Out on the village streets,
I may have gone to play.
But with your life,
I never came to play.
Out on the village streets,
I may have gone to play.
But with your life,
I never came to play.
Having put my hand into the fire
and burned myself by my own mistake,
if I get angry with you,
what fairness is there in that, my lord?
You call this golden deer a fake,
my beloved, you are killing me with your words!
All my rise and fall in life
rests only in your hands, my king.
Ah, little gem, golden jewel,
when she laughs, it sounds like a temple bell.
To the king who fathered you,
she is the apple of his eye, my boy.
One mother gave birth to you,
and I am the one who adopted you.
To both of us,
you are our only child.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
