Mugavari thedi alanchen
En mudhal needhaan mulusa purinchen
Marupadiyum naanum samanjen
Naan unakkena poothu pudhusa velenchen
Vaasalathaan paathirukken
Paavipaya vaayendaa
Kaal kadukka kaathirukken
Vaari kolla vaayendaa
En usurae unakkenathaan irukku
Un varavu enakkadhuthaan kizhakku
Pothi vecha aasai ellaam
Vetta veli soodamaachu
Pottu veikkum aasai mattum
Pathikitta deepam aachu
Ohh pethavanga pechai ellam
Vittu thalli kooda vaaren
Mathavanga paarva munna
Vakaknaiyaa vaazha poren
Mugavari thedi alanchen
En mudhal needhaan mulusa purinchen
Marupadiyum naanum samanjen
Naan unakkena poothu pudhusa velenchen
Kanna kothi pona kaadhal
Kannu rendum unna thedum
Enna kothi poga neeyum
Vandhu ninna adhuve podhum
Ohh konja nanja kaadhal ellaam
Nenjukuli thaanga villa
Manja kodi maala maathi
Kitta varamm hmm mm thaaren
Mugavari thedi alanchen
En mudhal needhaan mulusa purinchen
Marupadiyum naanum samanjen
Naan unakkena poothu pudhusa velenchen
Vaasalathaan paathirukken
Paavipaya vaayendaa
Kaal kadukka kaathirukken
Vaari kolla vaayendaa
En usurae unakkenathaan irukku
Un varavu enakkadhuthaan kizhakku
I wandered around looking for an address,
I realized completely that you are my beginning.
I blossomed into a woman all over again,
Blooming just for you, grown fresh and new.
I keep looking at the doorway,
Won't you come, you rascal?
My legs ache from waiting so long,
Come and sweep me into your arms!
My very life exists only for you,
Your arrival is like the dawn in the east to me.
All the desires I kept hidden inside,
Burned bright like camphor in the open air.
Only my desire to wear your wedding mark,
Has become a glowing flame.
Oh, setting aside whatever my parents said,
I will leave it all and come with you.
Right before the eyes of the world,
I am going to live with pride and joy.
I wandered around looking for an address,
I realized completely that you are my beginning.
I blossomed into a woman all over again,
Blooming just for you, grown fresh and new.
This love that snatched my gaze away,
Makes both my eyes search only for you.
To snatch me up and carry me away,
If you just come and stand here, that is enough.
Oh, all this boundless love,
The depths of my heart cannot contain it.
Exchanging garlands with the yellow sacred thread,
I will come close and give myself to you.
I wandered around looking for an address,
I realized completely that you are my beginning.
I blossomed into a woman all over again,
Blooming just for you, grown fresh and new.
I keep looking at the doorway,
Won't you come, you rascal?
My legs ache from waiting so long,
Come and sweep me into your arms!
My very life exists only for you,
Your arrival is like the dawn in the east to me.
