பொன் வண்ணக் கரையோடு பூச்சீலை
பெண் வண்ணம் அவள் மேனி பூஞ்சோலை
அவளோடு மெதுவாக மாப்பிள்ளை
அம்மம்மா அங்கு நானில்லை
பொன் வண்ணக் கரையோடு பூச்சீலை
பெண் வண்ணம் அவள் மேனி பூஞ்சோலை
அவளோடு மெதுவாக மாப்பிள்ளை
அம்மம்மா அங்கு நானில்லை
A flower-patterned saree with a golden border,
Her body in womanly charm is a garden of flowers,
Slowly walking beside her is the groom,
Oh my, but I am not there!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Muthaana Oorgolamoo is an expressive track from the 1969 film Annaiyum Pithavum, composed by M. S. Vishwanathan with lyrics by Kannadasan. The song captures the evocative inner thoughts and longing of a woman visualising a lavish wedding procession and intimate moments between a bride and groom, contrasting the grand celebration with her own yearning and feeling of absence.

Poetic devices
Edhugai (Second-letter Rhyme)
“Muthaana oorgolamoo / Athaanin kalyanamoo”
The second letters 't' in Muthaana and Athaanin create a harmonious rhyme pattern across the opening lines.
Metaphor (Uvamai)
“Pen vannam aval maeni poonjolai”
The female form is metaphorically described as a flower garden ('poonjolai') to emphasize delicate beauty.
Iyaibu (End Rhyme / Anaphora)
“Mai vannam kalaiyaadha kann enna / Kai vannam inaiyaadha penn enna”
The repetition of 'vannam' and 'enna' at line endings creates a rhythmic and hypnotic melodic structure.
