Mynaa mynaa nenju kulla vambhu pannura
Mynaa mynaa enna solla enna kollura
Sollu pulla enna achu

Nenju mela kaiyaa vachu kannala nee sirikkatha
Enna marantha thalli irunthida
Thunichathu sariyaa sariyaa

Mynaa mynaa..
Mynaa, Mynaa, you're stirring up trouble in my heart!
Mynaa, Mynaa, what can I say, you're killing me!
Tell me, girl, what happened?
Don't hide things from me without saying a word.
Don't place your hand on your chest and tease me with your eyes.
Forgetting me and staying far away,
was it right of you to dare do that?
Leaving me all alone in this restless ache,
making me burn like this, is it fair?
I don't understand any of this.
Will you come and talk to me?
Mynaa, Mynaa...
Yela, yela, yela, yela...
Like kerosene to a glass lamp,
like the blazing midday sun in peak summer,
you are made for me, and I will live my life for you.
My desires keep spinning around like a wheel.
Buying eye kohl, I draw myself a mustache.
Hey girl, you are like a rope woven out of sand!
My slender vine, you are like curd churned from my very life!
Mynaa, Mynaa, you're stirring up trouble in my heart!
Mynaa, Mynaa, what can I say, you're killing me!
Like a wooden cart searching for a path to roll on,
like a slingshot searching for pebbles to shoot,
I wandered in search of you with a wilting heart.
Even though I went to school, lessons never entered my head.
You weren't even there with me to play Pallanguzhi (a traditional board game).
If you stand by my side, I can win over the whole world.
Even if you fade away like a dream, I will keep thinking of you endlessly.
Mynaa, Mynaa, you're stirring up trouble in my heart!
Mynaa, Mynaa, what can I say, you're killing me!
Tell me, girl, what happened?
Don't hide things from me without saying a word.
Don't place your hand on your chest and tease me with your eyes.
Forgetting me and staying far away,
was it right of you to dare do that?
Leaving me all alone in this restless ache,
making me burn like this, is it fair?
I can't even recognize you anymore.
Were you born completely anew?
Mynaa, Mynaa...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

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.
