கள்ளன் நானோ உன்னை
அள்ள மெல்ல மெல்ல வந்தேன்!
எந்தன் உள்ளம் கொள்ளை போகிறேன்!
Am I the thief? No, not you...
I came slowly, step by step,
And ended up getting my own heart stolen!
ஆடை விட்டு மீறி
உந்தன் அழகுகள் துள்ள
சொக்கி சொக்கி சொக்கி நிற்கிறேன்!
Overflowing beyond your garments,
As your beauties bounce and leap,
I stand completely mesmerized.
ஒளித்து மறைத்த
வளத்தை எடுக்க தேடல்.... தேடல்...
To retrieve the hidden treasure,
It is a quest... a quest...
உருக்கியோ... நட்சத்திரத்
தூறல் தூறல் கிறக்கியோ...
என் அழகின் சாரல் சாரல்
Is it melted starlight...
Drizzling down like a shower?
Is it intoxicating...
The light spray of my beauty?
மேக துண்டை வெட்டி
கூந்தல் படைத்தானோ
வேறு என் தேடல் வேறு
Did he cut a piece of the raincloud
To create her long tresses?
Male: Different... my quest is different...
காந்தல் பூவை கிள்ளி
கைவிரல் செய்தானோ
வேறு என் தேடல் வேறு
Did he pluck the Gloriosa lily petals
To fashion her fingers?
Male: Different... my quest is different...
ஆழி கண்ட வெண்சங்கில்
அவன் அணல் ஒன்றைச் செய்தானோ!
யாழி இரண்டைப் பூட்டி அவன் தனம்
ரெண்டைச் செய்தானோ!
வழக்கிட வா!
From the white conch found deep in the sea,
Did he create a spark of fire?
Yoking together two mythical Yalis,
Did he craft her twin breasts?
Come, let us clash and lock together!

பூவை விட்டு பூவில் தாவி
தேனை உண்ணும் வண்டாய்
பாகம் விட்டு பாகம் பாகம் தாவினேன்!
Leaping from flower to flower,
Like a honeybee sipping nectar,
From region to region of your body,
I leaped!
ஒளித்து மறைத்த

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Manohari is an alluring and seductive track from 'Baahubali: The Beginning', where Shivudu (Amarendra Baahubali's son) enters a royal tavern in disguise while pursuing his mission in Mahishmati. The song showcases the sensual dance of court dancers tempting Shivudu, who remains focused on his higher purpose while indulging in the fiery atmosphere. The lyrics compare physical beauty to cosmic phenomena, intricate sculptures, and mythical creatures.
