மாளிகை ஆனாலும் மலர்வனம் ஆனாலும்
ஜானகி ராமனின் பின்னோடு
என் ஜாதகம் எப்போதும் உன்னோடு
Whether it is a palace or a flower garden,
Just as Janaki follows Rama,
My destiny is always tied with yours.
மாளிகை ஆனாலும் மலர்வனம் ஆனாலும்....
ஜானகி ராமனின் பின்னோடு
என் ஜாதகம் எப்போதும் உன்னோடு
Whether it is a palace or a flower garden,
Just as Janaki follows Rama,
My destiny is always tied with yours.
அன்றில் ரெண்டு கூடு
கட்டி உறவு கொள்ளும்
அந்த எண்ணம் இரவில் வந்து
என்னை கொல்லும்
Two Andril birds building a nest,
And bonding in love,
That thought comes at night,
And torments me.
அன்றில் ரெண்டு கூடு
கட்டி உறவு கொள்ளும்
அந்த எண்ணம் இரவில் வந்து
என்னை கொல்லும்
Two Andril birds building a nest,
And bonding in love,
That thought comes at night,
And torments me.
எத்தனை ஜென்மம் உண்டு
எப்பவும் சொந்தம் உண்டு
ஒவ்வொரு காலந்தோறும்
நானும் நீயும் வாழ்வதுண்டு.........
No matter how many births exist,
Our bond is eternal,
Through every era of time,
You and I live together.
மாளிகை ஆனாலும் மலர்வனம் ஆனாலும்....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a passionate expression of unbreakable love and devotion. The singer declares that regardless of their living conditions—whether in a grand palace or a humble garden—their fate remains tied to their beloved, drawing a direct parallel to Sita ('Janaki') following Lord Rama. The imagery of 'Andril' birds emphasizes deep romantic longing and inseparable partnership. The lyricist concludes that this love is not fleeting; it is a destiny that spans across multiple lifetimes and eras.
