↻ English translation
Malliya poova thalaiyil vachchi
Machchan aasaiya manasil vachchi
Vellakkatti pechchukkaari engae vanthaalo
Entha velaikkaaga yaarai paarkka
Ingae vanthaalo…..ingae vanthaalo
Malluvetti edaiyil katti
Madippu thunda thalaiyil suththi
Kallanai pol edhukku ingae whistle adichchaaro
Edha kollaiyadikka marainjirunthu
Vazhi marichchaaro vazhi marichchaari
Pal varisai palapalakka
Paruva meni thalathalakka
Vellarikkaai vedichchathai pol
Sirichchu vaikkiriyae
Enna vidiyum varai thoongaamaththaan
Mulikka vaikkiriyae
Pal varisai palapalakka
Paruva meni thalathalakka
Vellarikkaai vedichchathai pol
Sirichchu vaikkiriyae
Enna vidiyum varai thoongaamaththaan
Mulikka vaikkiriyae
Aaththangara oraththilae
Yaeththam eraikkum neraththilae
Paaththu vachcha paarvaiyilae maatti vachchuttiyae
Unna padukkaiyilum nenaikkumpadi
Aakki vachchittiyae
Aaththangara oraththilae
Yaeththam eraikkum neraththilae
Paaththu vachcha paarvaiyilae maatti vachchuttiyae
Unna padukkaiyilum nenaikkumpadi
Aakki vachchittiyae
Malliya poova thalaiyil vachchi
Machchaan aasaiya manasil vachchi
Vellakkatti pechchukkaari engae vanthaalo
Entha velaikkaaga yaarai paarkka
Ingae vanthaalo….ingae vanthaalo
Pookka vachcha raaththiriyae
Kozhunthu veththala kettu vachcha
Koottaththila koduththa unna paaththathu undaa
Enna paakku maaththi parisham podum yokyathaa undaa
Pookka vachcha raaththiriyae
Kozhunthu veththala kettu vachcha
Koottaththila koduththa unna paaththathu undaa

Maargazhikku pinnaalae
Maasi porakkum munnaalae thaanannaa thaanannaa
Thaanannaa thaanannaa thanthaanae
Female :Oorariya kalyaanaththa mudichchukalaamaa
Male :Ippa onnae onnu achchaaramaa koduththukalaamaa

With jasmine flowers in her hair,
with longing for her sweetheart in her heart,
where has this girl with jaggery-sweet words come from?
On what errand, and to meet whom,
did she come here? Oh, did she come here?
Wrapping a fine white dhoti around his waist,
winding a folded cloth around his head,
why is he whistling around here like a thief?
Lying in wait to steal what treasure,
did he block my path? Oh, why did he block my path?
With your row of gleaming teeth,
and your youthful body glowing bright,
like a ripe cucumber splitting open,
you flash such a radiant smile at me!
You keep me wide awake without sleep
until the morning light breaks!
With your row of gleaming teeth,
and your youthful body glowing bright,
like a ripe cucumber splitting open,
you flash such a radiant smile at me!
You keep me wide awake without sleep
until the morning light breaks!
By the bank of the river,
while drawing water with the well-sweep,
you caught and trapped me with that single look!
You made me keep thinking of you
even as I lie on my bed!

With jasmine flowers in her hair,
with longing for her sweetheart in her heart,
where has this girl with jaggery-sweet words come from?
On what errand, and to meet whom,
did she come here? Oh, did she come here?
On the night made for blooming love,
with bundles of tender betel leaves tied,
did anyone ever see you offer them before the elders?
Do you have what it takes to exchange betel nuts and claim my hand?

Right after the month of Margazhi,
before the month of Maasi begins, thaananna thaananna,
Thaananna thaananna thanthaane...
Female: Shall we get married for the whole town to see?
Male: Can you give me just one kiss right now as an advance token?
Wrapping a fine white dhoti around his waist,
winding a folded cloth around his head,
why is he whistling around here like a thief?
Lying in wait to steal what treasure,
did he block my path? Oh, why did he block my path?
With jasmine flowers in her hair,
with longing for her sweetheart in her heart,
where has this girl with jaggery-sweet words come from?
On what errand, and to meet whom,
did she come here? Oh, did she come here?
