Marudhaani arachaenae
Onakkaaga padhamaa
Mayilae nee ida vaenum
Enakkaaga yedhamaa
Neram maarum veral paathu
Sogam aagum neravaethu
Oru naal adha naan thodalaamaa
Marudhaani arachaenae
Onakkaaga padhamaa
Mayilae nee ida vaenum
Enakkaaga yedhamaa
Velliyla moonaam pira
Oru naal paathaenae andhiyila
Pulli mayil onna thaedudhunnu
Solla thaan sonnaenae chandhirana
Saerndhadhaa andha saedhi thaan
Adha nee madhichaa nalam thaan
Aasa thaan neravaerumaa
Thonaiyaa irundhaa sogam thaan
Ennaama nee potta sokku podi
Ennaalum noyaagum vanji kodi
Kannalam kattaama theeraadhu kaiya pudi
Marudhaani arachaenae
Onakkaaga padhamaa
Mayilae nee ida vaenum
Enakkaaga yedhamaa
Neram maarum veral paathu
Sogam aagum neravaethu
Oru naal adha naan thodalaamaa
Marudhaani arachaenae
Onakkaaga padhamaa
Mayilae nee ida vaenum
Enakkaaga yedhamaa
Sondham ulla sola kili
Sirichu pesaama pogaadhae di
Nenjukkulla aasa vechu
Kadhava veembaaga saathaadhae di
Aathula kulir kaathula
Muzhusaa nananjaen oru naal
Aarala gonam maarala
Onna thaan nenachaen maru naal
Panneerum thanneerum onnaagumaa
Kanneeru vittaalum sandhaegamaa
Kannae nee suttaalum maaraadha thangam idhu
Marudhaani arachaenae
Onakkaaga padhamaa
Mayilae nee ida vaenum
Enakkaaga yedhamaa
Neram maarum veral paathu
Sogam aagum neravaethu
Oru naal adha naan thodalaamaa
Marudhaani arachaenae
Onakkaaga padhamaa
Mayilae nee ida vaenum
Enakkaaga yedhamaa
Thananaanaa thananaanaa
Thananaanaa thananaa
Haei tharanaanae tharanaanae
Tharanaanae tharanaana
I ground the henna paste
to the right smoothness, just for you.
My peacock, you must apply it,
gently and soothingly for my sake.
Watching your fingers turn red,
joy will fill me completely.
May I hold them one day?
I ground the henna paste
to the right smoothness, just for you.
My peacock, you must apply it,
gently and soothingly for my sake.
The third-day crescent moon in the Friday sky,
I saw it one evening at dusk.
Telling it that your spotted peacock is longing for you,
I sent a message through the moon.
Did that message reach you?
If you honour it, all will be well.
Will this longing of mine come true?
If you stand by my side, it will be pure bliss.
The love spell you casually cast on me
becomes a sweet ache every day, my slender girl.
It won't be cured without marriage—take my hand!
I ground the henna paste
to the right smoothness, just for you.
My peacock, you must apply it,
gently and soothingly for my sake.
Watching your fingers turn red,
joy will fill me completely.
May I hold them one day?
I ground the henna paste
to the right smoothness, just for you.
My peacock, you must apply it,
gently and soothingly for my sake.
My dear garden parrot who belongs to me,
do not walk away without a smile and a word.
Holding longing deep inside your heart,
do not stubbornly shut the door on me.
In the river, in the biting chill of the wind,
I got completely drenched one day.
The fever did not cool, nor did my mood change;
I only kept thinking of you the next day.
Can rosewater and plain water ever be the same?
Even when I shed tears, do you still doubt me?
My darling, even if tested in fire, this gold will never change.
I ground the henna paste
to the right smoothness, just for you.
My peacock, you must apply it,
gently and soothingly for my sake.
Watching your fingers turn red,
joy will fill me completely.
May I hold them one day?
I ground the henna paste
to the right smoothness, just for you.
My peacock, you must apply it,
gently and soothingly for my sake.
Thananaanaa thananaanaa
Thananaanaa thananaa
