மகராஜனோடு ராணி வந்து சேரும்
இந்த ராஜ யோகம் காலம் தோறும் வாழும்
The queen comes to join the emperor
This royal destiny will live on through all time
மகராஜனோடு ராணி வந்து சேரும்
இந்த ராஜ யோகம் காலம் தோறும் வாழும்
The queen comes to join the emperor
This royal destiny will live on through all time
இது மன்மத சாம்ராஜ்யம்
புது மங்கல சௌபாக்யம்
ஒரு போதும் குறையாது
தினம் கூடும் கூடும் ஆனந்தம்
This is the kingdom of Cupid
A fresh auspicious prosperity
It will never diminish
Bliss will increase day by day
ராஜனோடு ராணி வந்து சேரும்
இந்த ராஜ யோகம் காலம் தோறும் வாழும்
The queen comes to join the king
This royal destiny will live on through all time
கங்கைக்கொரு வங்கக் கடல்
போல் வந்தான் அவன் வந்தான்
மங்கைக்கொரு இன்பக் கனா
அவன் தந்தான் அவன் தந்தான்
Like the Bay of Bengal for the river Ganges
He arrived, yes he came
A sweet dream for the young woman
He gave, yes he gave
கண்ணில் என்ன வண்ணங்கள்
சின்னச் சின்ன மின்னல்கள்
What vibrant colors in the eyes
Small, fleeting flashes of lightning
கண்ணில் என்ன வண்ணங்கள்
சின்னச் சின்ன மின்னல்கள்
ஓர் காதல் பூத்ததோ
What vibrant colors in the eyes
Small, fleeting flashes of lightning
Has love blossomed here?
தக்கத் துணை வாய்க்காமல்
பெண் வாடினாளோ
Lacking proper companionship
Did the woman wither away?
பக்கம் வந்து கை சேர பண் பாடினாளோ
Did she sing a melody as she approached to hold hands?
ஒரு ராகம் ஒரு தாளம்
இணை கூடும் போது கானம்தான்
A ragam and a rhythm
Only when combined together do they form a song
ராஜனோடு ராணி வந்து சேரும்
The queen comes to join the king
இந்த ராஜ யோகம் காலம் தோறும் வாழும்
இது மன்மத சாம்ராஜ்யம்
புது மங்கல சௌபாக்யம்
ஒரு போதும் குறையாது
தினம் கூடும் கூடும் ஆனந்தம்
This royal destiny will live on through all time

A fresh auspicious prosperity
It will never diminish
Bliss will increase day by day
ராஜனோடு ராணி வந்து சேரும்
இந்த ராஜ யோகம் காலம் தோறும் வாழும்
The queen comes to join the king
This royal destiny will live on through all time
மன்னன் தொட தன்னைத் தந்தாள்
பூம்பாவை பூம்பாவை
என்னென்னவோ நெஞ்சில் கொண்டாள்
பேராசை பேராசை
She surrendered herself to the touch of the king
Like a flower-like maiden, a flower-like maiden
She held various thoughts in her heart
Great desire, immense desire
சந்திக்கின்ற சந்தர்ப்பம்
சின்னப் பெண்ணின் விண்ணப்பம்
The moment of meeting each other
A young girl's humble request
சந்திக்கின்ற சந்தர்ப்பம்
சின்னப் பெண்ணின் விண்ணப்பம்
நீ கேட்க வேண்டுமோ
The moment of meeting each other
A young girl's humble request
Need you even ask?
இலக்கணம் பார்க்காது ஓர் பாடல் கூற
Grammar isn't checked when a song is expressed
இடைவெளி தோன்றாது ஓர் ஜோடி சேர
No distance appears when a couple unites
என்ன வேகம் என்ன தாகம்
ஒரு காவல் தாண்டக் கூடுமோ
What speed, what thirst!
Can any guard or boundary stop it?
ராஜனோடு ராணி வந்து சேரும்
இந்த ராஜ யோகம் காலம் தோறும் வாழும்
The queen comes to join the king
This royal destiny will live on through all time

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Maharajanodu Rani is a grand and joyous romantic song celebrating the union and deep connection between a man and a woman, metaphorically framed as a king and queen. Set in the kingdom of love (Manmadha Saamrajyam), the song conveys how their togetherness brings unending bliss and prosperity that constantly grows stronger with time. Through poetic imagery, the lyricist Vaali compares the lovers to the natural confluence of the Ganges river meeting the ocean, as well as the artistic blend of melody (ragam) and rhythm (thaalam). It emphasizes that true love transcends formal rules and physical boundaries, bringing boundless joy and fulfillment.
