Ah... aa... aah... aah...
Aa... aa... aa... aa... aah... aah...
Girl walking along the forest path,
do not worry.
A wild tiger may block your way,
but do not stand there trembling.
Girl walking along the forest path,
do not worry.
A wild tiger may block your way,
but do not stand there trembling.
Just speak the name
of Mambattiyan, and watch the tiger step aside!
Just speak the name
of Mambattiyan, and watch the tiger step aside!
Girl walking along the forest path,
do not worry...
A wild tiger may block your way,
but do not stand there trembling...
Just speak the name
of Mambattiyan, and watch the tiger step aside!
Just speak the name
of Mambattiyan, and watch the tiger step aside!
Aaha... hey...
He chopped off eight heads,
and threw them into the market square.
He put an end to cruel injustice,
what else did he leave behind?
He slept on thorns himself,
yet laid out flowers for the poor.
Even now, the rocks of Athi hill
still speak his name.
Yes, those rocks of Athi hill
still speak his name.
Hey, girl walking along the forest path,
do not worry...
A wild tiger may block your way,
but do not stand there trembling...
Just speak the name
of Mambattiyan, and watch the tiger step aside!
Just speak the name
of Mambattiyan, and watch the tiger step aside!
Hey... Kannatha came into his life,
she walked alongside Mambattiyan.
She longed to marry him,
but ended up wedded to sorrow.
To follow him even to heaven,
she took her leave from this earth.
What a tragic end she met!
She was like a young sapling crushed and broken.
Yes, what a tragic end she met!
She was like a young sapling with a broken stem.
Girl walking along the forest path,
do not worry...
A wild tiger may block your way,
but do not stand there trembling...
Just speak the name
of Mambattiyan, and watch the tiger step aside!
Just speak the name
of Mambattiyan, and watch the tiger step aside!
She had skin that glowed like gold,
and a fierce, fiery sense of pride.
Though she had known other men,
in her heart she remained devoted and true.
When Mambattiyan drew his last breath,
she gave up her life as well.
Born like Madhavi (the courtesan),
she lived with the loyalty of Kannagi (the faithful wife).
Yes, born like Madhavi,
she lived with the loyalty of Kannagi... ah... aa...
Girl walking along the forest path,
do not worry...
A wild tiger may block your way,
but do not stand there trembling...
Just speak the name
of Mambattiyan, and watch the tiger step aside!
Just speak the name
of Mambattiyan, and watch the tiger step aside!
