Marudha marudhakaari
Vellaiyaanaa edutha
Puliya puliya kooda
Morathula adicha
Marudhurayil pirandhum
Bayama bayama
Parambarai veeram varuma varuma
Aththa petha pennae konjam
Ratham ellam satham poda
Otha mutham kathu kuduma
Marudhakaari vaadi
Manasukkulla poodi
Marudhakaari vaadi..hey hey
Manasukulla poodi
Unadhu bhayam theeravae
Oru nooru kalaiseiven
Unadhu nalam kaakavae
Sila nooru kolai seiven
{Unakaaga gopuram yeri
Un peyar solven pennae
Thiruparangundram thooki
Goliyum aaduven kannae} (2)
Marudhakaari vaadi
Manasukulla podi
Marudha marudhakaari
Vellaiyaanaa edutha
Puliya puliya kooda
Morathula adicha
Marudhurayil pirandhum
Bayama bayama
Parambarai veeram varuma varuma
Aththa petha pennae konjam
Ratham ellam satham poda
Otha mutham kathu kuduma
Nuni mookilum alagu
Tholai nokkilum alagu
Unnaal en vazhkaiyae
Niram maarudhae
Un pinnal en vetkaiyae
Nadai poduthae
Veditha vellarikaniyae
Ennai vilungi tholaitha kiliyae
Vanakkam unaku mayilae
Konjam inakkam solladi kuyilae
Nee kannala kannatti
Kattatha pondati
Madiyil malarvaai malarae
Marudhakaari vaadi
Manasukulla podi
Mazhai ooriya kannao
Malaraadiya penno
Kannae unnai thediyae
Alai paaigiren
Karaiyil nurai polavae
Thalai saigiren
Achaththai othukki thallava
Oru uchathai unardhu kollava
Machathin kanakku sollava
Adhan michaththai vilaki sollava
Nee mei endru aanalum
Poi endru ponaalum
Nizhalaai thodarven radhiyae
Marudhakaari vaadi
Manasukulla podi
O girl of Madurai,
From the land that fought the British,
And chased away even a tiger
With just a winnowing fan,
Though born in Madurai,
Why are you scared? Why this fear?
Will your ancestral courage awaken or not?
O daughter of my aunt,
To make my blood surge with excitement,
Teach me just one kiss!
Come to me, girl of Madurai,
Step right into my heart!
Come to me, girl of Madurai... hey hey,
Step right into my heart!
To banish all your fears,
I would perform a hundred wondrous feats,
To protect your safety,
I would take down a few hundred men!
For your sake, I will climb a temple tower
And shout your name, my girl!
I will lift the Thirupparankundram hill
And play marbles with it, my dear!
Come to me, girl of Madurai,
Step right into my heart!
O girl of Madurai,
From the land that fought the British,
And chased away even a tiger
With just a winnowing fan,
Though born in Madurai,
Why are you scared? Why this fear?
Will your ancestral courage awaken or not?
O daughter of my aunt,
To make my blood surge with excitement,
Teach me just one kiss!
There is beauty on the tip of your nose,
You look gorgeous even from afar,
Because of you, my whole life
Is changing colors,
Right behind you, my longing
Follows every step you take,
O sweet, ripe cucumber,
O parrot who swallowed me whole,
My greetings to you, O peacock,
Show me some affection, O singing bird!
You captivate me with your eyes,
My wife even without a wedding knot,
Blossom in my lap, O flower!
Come to me, girl of Madurai,
Step right into my heart!
Are your eyes drenched in rain?
Are you a girl swaying like a flower?
Searching for you, my darling,
My heart tosses like restless waves,
Like foam settling on the shore,
I lay down my head,
Shall I push all your fears aside?
Shall I feel the peak of joy?
Shall I count your beauty marks?
Shall I uncover the rest and count them too?
Whether you prove to be real
Or turn out to be an illusion,
I will follow you like a shadow, my Rathi (goddess of love)!
Come to me, girl of Madurai,
Step right into my heart!
