மலையோரம் மாங்குருவி
மாவிலையில் பாட்டெழுதி பாடுதடி
மகராணி உன் வரவை
ராப்பகலா எம் மனசு தேடுதடி
மண மேளம் காதில் கேட்குதா
மனசோடு தேனை வார்க்குதா
A mango sparrow near the mountainside
Is writing a song on a mango leaf and singing, my dear girl
Oh queen, for your arrival
My heart searches day and night, my dear girl
Do you hear the wedding drums in your ear?
Does it pour honey into your heart?
மலையோரம் மாங்குருவி
மாவிலையில் பாட்டெழுதி பாடுதையா
மகராசன் உன் வரவை
ராப்பகலா எம் மனசு தேடுதையா
A mango sparrow near the mountainside
Is writing a song on a mango leaf and singing, sir
Oh king, for your arrival
My heart searches day and night, sir
பூங்காத்து வீசுது
அனல பூசுது
பொன் மானே பக்கத்திலே
கொஞ்சம் வாம்மா
A gentle breeze blows
Yet it smears heat like fire
Oh golden deer, come near
Come a little closer, girl
தாங்காத ஆசையில்
தவிக்கும் வேளையில்
தாலாட்டு பாடிக்
கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சலாமா
In unbearable desire
In times of deep longing
Singing a lullaby
Can we caress and pamper a little?
சேலை கட்டும்
நந்தவனம் நீயா
செம்பருத்திப் பூவுக்கு
நீ தாயா
A flower garden wearing a saree
Are you that?
To the hibiscus flower, are you
The mother?
கண்ணுக்குள்ளே
காதல் என்னும் தீயா
சின்ன இடை
தேய்வதென்ன நோயா
Inside the eyes, love's
Is it a fire?
Is your slender waist wearing away from a disease?
கட்டி அணைச்சா
முத்தம் பதிச்சா
நோய் முழுக்க தீர்ந்து விடும்
வாம்மா ஹோய்....
If you embrace tightly
And imprint a kiss
The illness will completely vanish
Come, my girl, hey...
மலையோரம் மாங்குருவி
மாவிலையில் பாட்டெழுதி பாடுதையா

...
கல்யாண மாப்பிள்ளே
எனை நீ பாக்கல
கண் மூடி நாணத்திலே நிக்கலாமா
Oh wedding groom
You aren't looking at me
Closing your eyes
Is it right to stand in shyness?
ஊரெங்கும் தோரணம்
நடக்கும் ஊர்வலம்
உன்னோட கன்னத்திலே வைக்கலாமா
Festoons all over the village
A procession moving through town
Can I place it on your cheek?
அந்தியிலே
சந்தனத்த பூச
ஆசைகளை
கண்களிலே பேச
In the evening, applying sandalwood
To smear it
To speak desires through the eyes
சேலையிலே
நீ விசிறி வீச
காலையிலே
பார்த்த கண்ணு கூச
With your saree, you like a fan
To fan
Looking at it in the morning, eyes
Dazzle
என்ன சுகமோ எப்ப வருமோ
என்னென்னவோ பண்ணுதையா ஆசை ஹோ
What bliss it will be, when will it come
Desire is stirring up all kinds of feelings, oh...
