இந்த மாமனோட மனசு
மல்லியப்பூ போலே பொன்னானது
இந்த வண்ண மயில் அதனால்
எண்ணியது போலே பூச்சூடுது
This uncle's heart
Has turned precious and pure like a jasmine flower
Because of that, this colorful peacock
Adorns herself with flowers as she wished
குத்தால குளுமையும்
கூடி வருது
சந்தோஷ நெனப்பொரு
கோடி வருது
சொல்ல வார்த்தை ஏதும் இல்லை
The pleasant chillness of Coutrallam
Is gathering together
Joyful thoughts in millions
Are pouring in
There are no words to describe
மாமனோட
ஹே மாமனோட மனசு
மல்லியப்பூ போலே பொன்னானது
இந்த வண்ண மயில் அதனால்
எண்ணியது போலே பூச்சூடுது
My uncle's...
Hey, this uncle's heart
Has turned precious and pure like a jasmine flower
Because of that, this colorful peacock
Adorns herself with flowers as she wished
அக்காளின் மகளுக்கு
கேட்டதை நான் கொடுப்பேன்
மனசில் இப்ப அல்லாடி கிடக்கிற
ஆசைய நான் முடிப்பேன்
To my sister's daughter
I will give whatever she asks for
The desire that was restlessly tossing
In my heart, I will now fulfill
விரும்பியது இந்நேரம்
கிடைகிற போது
வரும் ஏக்கம் நெஞ்சில் ஏது
When what is desired right now
Is granted
What longing can remain in the heart?
எல்லோர்க்கும் நினைத்தது போலே
மண வாழ்க்கை வாய்த்திடாது
Not everyone gets blessed with
A married life as they envisioned
எப்போதும் ஒருவனை
எண்ணி தவித்தேன்
இப்போது நான் அதை
கண்டு பிடித்தேன்
கெட்டி மேளம் கேட்கும்
நேரம் கூட
I was constantly yearning
Thinking of one person
Male: Now I have
Found that out
Female: The time to hear the wedding drums
Is drawing near
மாமனோட
இந்த மாமனோட மனசு
மல்லியப்பூ போலே பொன்னானது
இந்த வண்ண மயில் அதனால்
எண்ணியது போலே பூச்சூடுது
With my uncle...
Male: This uncle's heart
Has turned precious and pure like a jasmine flower
Because of that, this colorful peacock
Adorns herself with flowers as she wished
குத்தால குளுமையும்

கோடி வருது
சொல்ல வார்த்தை ஏதும் இல்லை
The pleasant chillness of Coutrallam
Is gathering together
Joyful thoughts in millions
Are pouring in

This uncle's heart
Has turned precious and pure like a jasmine flower
Because of that, this colorful peacock
Adorns herself with flowers as she wished
பொன்னான நகைகளும்
மாலையும் போட்டிருப்பேன்
மணவறையில் கண்ணாலே உனக்கொரு
நன்றியை நானுரைபேன்
Golden jewels
And garlands I shall wear
On the wedding stage, with my eyes
I will express my gratitude to you
எனக்கு அன்று சொல்லாத
உணர்வுகள் கூடும்
விழி ஓரம் ஈரமாகும்
On that day, untold
Emotions will swell
The corners of my eyes will grow moist
கல்யாண கனவுகள் யாவும்
கையில் சேரும் நேரம் ஆகும்
All marital dreams
Are about to reach my hands
பல்லாண்டு படித்திடும்
ஊர் முழுதும்
வண்டாட்டம் பறந்திடும்
வஞ்சி மனதும்
மஞ்சத் தாலி மார்பில்
ஊஞ்சலாட
Wishing us a long life
The entire village will sing
Female: Flying around like a beetle
Is this young girl's heart
Male: The sacred yellow thread on her chest
Will swing gently
மாமனோட
ஹே மாமனோட மனசு
மல்லியப்பூ போலே பொன்னானது
இந்த வண்ண மயில் அதனால்
எண்ணியது போலே பூச்சூடுது

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Intha Maamanoda Manasu is a festive romantic duet from the film Uthama Raasa (1993), celebrating the joy and anticipation of an upcoming wedding between a uncle and his niece. The song expresses deep devotion and affection, where the bride compares her uncle's pure heart to a jasmine flower, while portraying herself as a vibrant peacock celebrating her good fortune. The groom vows to fulfill every dream and wish of his beloved niece-turned-bride. As the song progresses, both characters envision their wedding day filled with traditional garlands, joyful tears, and blessings from their entire village. Vaali's rich Tamil phrasing along with Ilaiyaraaja's folk-infused melody highlights the warmth of traditional rural relationships.
