Malligai malligai pandhalae
Adi manakum malligai pandhalae
Ennai mayaki paarka vandhen endralae
Kangal mayangi poyi nindren thannalae
Mundhiri mundhiri dhopulae
Endhan mundhaanai thirudum mapillai
Ival manasu sollum neethan aambale
Endhan ithazhkal pattaal inikum vepilae
Velli kolusu polaeve kaalai urasa vandhanae
Pattu pudavai polaeve thottu thazhuva vandhanae
Unnai thulasi chediyaai sutri vandhenae
Kannaal paarthu paarthu vetri kandanae
Malligai malligai pandhalae
Adi manakum malligai pandhalae
Ennai mayaki paarka vandhen endralae
Kangal mayangi poyi nindren thannalae
Seviyodu thaan kaadhal solvaai enbenae
Thayir saathamaai unnai alli thinbenae
Penn aasaiyae illa manithan naanadi
Un aasaiyal indha maatram aenadi
Pilaiyana vaarthai polae vaazhnthu vandhanae
Unnai paartha pinnae ennai thiruthi kondanae
Puriyatha kavithai polae vaazhnthu vandhanae
Avai yaavum undhan kannil artham kandanae
Indha arugam pullin mel
Pani thuliyaai nindrayae
Endhan paruva tholkalil
Pachai kiliyaai vaazhnthayae
Ennai thulasi chediyaai sutri vandhayae
Kannaal paarthu paarthu vetri kandayae
Adhikaalaiyil thondrum vellai thingalae
Pasi nerathil paartha thanneer pandhalae
Kalangaathe oar theppam polae vaazhndhanae
Nee theendinaal ayyo kalangi ponanae
Sathai moongil polae undhan dhegam paarthenae
Athai oothi mella naanum anainthu ponanae
Mazhai thoorum saalai oram unnai kandanae
Kudai kulle odi vandhaai kudai saainthenae
Undhan vizhiyil kandanae
Endhan kanavai kandanae
Undhan uthattai kandanae
Endhan unavai kandanae
Unnai thulasi chediyaai sutri vandhanae
Kannaal paarthu paarthu vetri kandanae
Malligai malligai pandhalae
Adi manakum malligai pandhalae
Ennai mayaki paarka vandhen endralae
Kangal mayangi poyi nindren thannalae
Mundhiri mundhiri dhopulae
Endhan mundhaanai thirudum mapillai
Ival manasu sollum neethan aambale
Endhan ithazhkal pattaal inikum vepilae
O jasmine bower, jasmine bower,
Oh, you fragrant jasmine bower!
She said she came to charm and dazzle me,
And my eyes grew dazed, I stood spellbound on my own.
In the cashew orchard,
the bridegroom who steals the edge of my saree,
This girl's heart says you are the man for me.
Even bitter neem leaves will turn sweet if my lips touch them!
Like a silver anklet, I came to brush against your feet.
Like a silk saree, I came to touch and embrace you.
I circled around you like a sacred Tulsi (holy basil) plant,
Just by gazing into your eyes, I won your heart.
O jasmine bower, jasmine bower,
Oh, you fragrant jasmine bower!
She said she came to charm and dazzle me,
And my eyes grew dazed, I stood spellbound on my own.
I will ask you to whisper your love in my ear,
And I will scoop you up and eat you like curd rice.
I was a man who had no desire for women,
Why did your desire bring this change in me?
I used to live like an incorrect word,
After seeing you, I corrected myself.
I used to live like an incomprehensible poem,
And I found meaning for it all in your eyes.
Upon this blade of grass,
you rested like a dewdrop.
On my youthful shoulders,
you lived like a green parrot.
You circled around me like a sacred Tulsi (holy basil) plant,
Just by gazing into my eyes, you won my heart.
O white moon appearing in the early dawn,
O water shelter welcoming me in my hour of hunger,
I lived like a raft that never swayed,
Yet when you touched me, oh, I was shaken!
I saw your body like a hollow bamboo flute,
I blew gently into it and dissolved in warmth.
I saw you by the roadside in the drizzling rain,
You ran under my umbrella, and I tilted it over you.
In your eyes, I saw—
I saw my dreams.
On your lips, I saw—
I saw my feast.
I circled around you like a sacred Tulsi (holy basil) plant,
Just by gazing into your eyes, I won your heart.
O jasmine bower, jasmine bower,
Oh, you fragrant jasmine bower!
She said she came to charm and dazzle me,
And my eyes grew dazed, I stood spellbound on my own.
In the cashew orchard,
the bridegroom who steals the edge of my saree,
This girl's heart says you are the man for me.
Even bitter neem leaves will turn sweet if my lips touch them!
