மைனா மைனா
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள வம்பு
பண்ணுற மைனா மைனா
என்ன சொல்ல என்னக்
கொல்லுற சொல்லுபுள்ள
என்ன ஆச்சு சொல்லாமலே
மறைக்காத நெஞ்சுமேல கைய
வச்சு கண்ணால நீ சிரிக்காத
Mynaa, Mynaa, you are causing trouble inside my heart.
Mynaa, Mynaa, what can I say, you are killing me.
Tell me girl, what happened?
Don't hide it without speaking.
Don't put your hand on my chest and laugh with your eyes.
என்ன மறந்த
தள்ளி இருந்திடத்
துணிஞ்சது சரியா
சரியா தன்னந்தனியே
என்ன தவிப்புல எரிஞ்சது
முறையா முறையா
எனக்கேதும் புரியவே
இல்ல பதில் பேச வருவியா
You forgot me and stayed far away,
Was it right to dare to do that? Is it right?
Leaving me all alone in yearning,
Was it fair to burn me like this? Is it fair?
I don't understand anything at all.
Will you come to speak an answer?
மைனா மைனா
Mynaa, Mynaa
ஏலே ஏலே
ஏலே ஏலே
Yelaa yelaa yelaa yelaa
சிம்னிக்கு
மண்ணெண்ணையப் போல
சித்திரைக்கு உச்சி வெயில்
போல நீயோ எனக்காக உயிர்
வாழ்வேன் உனக்காக சக்கரத்தப்
போல சுத்தி வரும் ஆச கண்ணு
மைய வாங்கி தீட்டிக்கிறேன் மீச
அடியே நீ மணலத் திரிச்ச கயிறா
கொடியே நீ உசுர கடைஞ்ச தயிரா
Like kerosene to a chimney lamp,
Like the scorching noon sun in the month of Chithirai,
You are for me, and I will live my life for you.
Desires revolve around like a wheel.
I apply your eye kohl onto my mustache.
Oh girl, you are a rope spun from sand!
Oh vine-like girl, you are curd churned out of life itself!
மைனா மைனா
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள வம்பு
பண்ணுற மைனா மைனா
என்ன சொல்ல என்னக்
கொல்லுற
Mynaa, Mynaa, you are causing trouble inside my heart.
Mynaa, Mynaa, what can I say, you are killing me.
கட்டவண்டி செல்லும்
வழி தேட உண்டிவில்லு
ஜல்லிக்கல்ல தேட நானோ
உன்னத் தேடி அலைஞ்சேனே
மனம் வாடி பள்ளிக்கூடம் போயும்
ஏறவில்ல பாடம் பல்லாங்குழி ஆட
கூட இல்ல நீயும் துணையா நீ இருந்தா
ஜெயிப்பேன் ஊர கனவா நீ கலைஞ்சா
நினைப்பேன் தீர
The bullock cart searches for its path,
The slingshot searches for pebbles,
But I searched for you with a withered heart.
Even after going to school, lessons didn't sink in,
You weren't even there to play Pallanguzhi with me.
If you are by my side as my companion, I will win over this town.
If you fade away like a dream, I will keep thinking of you endlessly.
மைனா மைனா
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள வம்பு
பண்ணுற மைனா மைனா

மைனா... மைனா...
You forgot me and stayed far away,
Was it right to dare to do that? Is it right?
Leaving me all alone in yearning,
Was it fair to burn me like this? Is it fair?
You are completely unrecognizable,
Were you born anew?
Mynaa, Mynaa..
Mynaa mynaa nenju kulla vambhu pannura
Mynaa, Mynaa, you are causing trouble inside my heart.
Mynaa mynaa enna solla enna kollura

Nenju mela kaiyaa vachu kannala nee sirikkatha
Don't put your hand on my chest and laugh with your eyes.
Enna marantha thalli irunthida
You forgot me and stayed far away,
Thunichathu sariyaa sariyaa
Was it right to dare to do that? Is it right?
Thannanthaniyae enna thavippula
Leaving me all alone in yearning,
Erinchathu muraiyaa muraiyaa
Was it fair to burn me like this? Is it fair?

Katta vandi sellum vazhi theda
The bullock cart searches for its path,
Undi villu jalli kalla theda
The slingshot searches for pebbles,
Naano unna thedi alachenae manam vaadi
But I searched for you with a withered heart.
Pallikudam poyum eravilla paadam
Even after going to school, lessons didn't sink in,

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Mynaa Mynaa is a deeply emotional folk-infused romantic song from the film Mynaa (2010), composed by D. Imman and written by Yugabharathi. The protagonist addresses his beloved, Mynaa, pouring out his heart over her bewildering behavior and distance. He questions why she has pulled away and left him suffering in solitude, asking if it is fair to abandon the deep bond they shared. Using vivid rural imagery—such as kerosene lamps, slingshots, and traditional games like Pallanguzhi—the lyrics convey how completely intertwined his life is with hers. His devotion remains unwavering despite his pain, expressing that he can conquer anything if she is beside him, but will be left endlessly yearning if she fades away.
