ஆஆஆஆஆ....ஆஆஆஆஆ.....ஆஆஆஆஆ......
மலைநாட்டு மச்சானே வலைப் போட்டு வச்சானே
கரையோர பூவாய் நான் மணம் வீசிப் பூக்கும் நாள்
இதழோரம் நனைய நனைய நனைய
இதமாக தழுவ தழுவ தழுவ
தனியாக ரோசாப்பூ இனியேது மாராப்பு...
மலைநாட்டு மச்சானே வலைப் போட்டு வச்சானே
Melodious vocalizing opens the song...
The guy from the mountain country set a trap for me.
The day I bloom like a fragrant flower by the riverbank.
As the edges of my lips get wet, wet, wet.
To gently embrace, embrace, embrace.
A rose flower all alone, why do I need a veil anymore?
The guy from the mountain country set a trap for me.
இளமானின் மனமே உனை நாடும் தினமே
இரவும் பகலும் சுகம் தேடவே
குளிர் வீசும் இரவில் வரவேண்டும் விரைவில்
இளமை உறவின் இசை பாடவே
The heart of a young doe seeks you every single day.
To seek bliss day and night.
On a chilly night, you must come quickly.
To sing the music of youthful intimacy.
ஒரு கோடிப் பூக்கள் சூடும் மலைராணி நான்
மணநாளில் வாழ்த்துப் பாட கொடி நாட்டினான்
மெதுவாய் வருவாய் இதமாய்
தருவாய் துணையாய் நீ
மலைநாட்டு மச்சானே வலைப் போட்டு வச்சானே
I am the mountain queen adorned with ten million flowers.
I raised a flag to sing praises on our wedding day.
Come slowly, give me comfort, and be my companion.
The guy from the mountain country set a trap for me.
பனிக்கால நேரம் தளிர்மேனி முழுதும்
பதியும் விழிகள் கனல் மூட்டுமே
கதிர் சாயும் பொழுது மருதாணி விரல்கள்
உனையே உறவாய் தொட ஏங்குமே
During the cold winter season, all over my tender body,
The eyes that gaze upon me kindle a fire.
When the sun sets, my mehendi-stained fingers,
Long to touch you as my beloved.
தினந்தோறும் மாலை வேளை வரும் மோகமே
மனசுக்குள் மின்னல் போல அலை பாயுமே
கனவாய் நினைவாய் எனையே
தொடலாம் நிஜமாய் நீ.....
Every day at dusk, passion arrives.
It ripples inside my heart like a flash of lightning.
In dream and reality, now you can truly touch me.
மலைநாட்டு மச்சானே வலைப் போட்டு வச்சானே
கரையோர பூவாய் நான் மணம் வீசிப் பூக்கும் நாள்
இதழோரம் நனைய நனைய நனைய
இதமாக தழுவ தழுவ தழுவ
தனியாக ரோசாப்பூ இனியேது மாராப்பு...
மலைநாட்டு மச்சானே வலைப் போட்டு வச்சானே
