Sadhiyum vidhiyum vendradhaalae
En sabadham pazhitha inimelae
Kavalaiyum agalavae
En kanavum palikka manadhu polavae
Madhiyillamal aasaiyinaal
Mamadhai adainthaal kaadhalinaalae
Manadhu veithaal raaniyaalae
Raai nee manadhu vaithaal
Raani unnaalae maalaiyum asaiyaadhoo
Vaanavillukkum varnam theetuven
Aval vaazhkaiyai kedukka vazhi kaattuven
Pazhi moottuven kodi naattuven
Aval vanjagam ozhiya vaaiyai poottuven
Muthamma amma vijaya
Nanjai kalandhaaro
Nalini undhan vaazhvilae
Vanjagam seidhaaro nenjam irangaamalae
Kai niraindha selvam kaathirundhum veenae
Kalla kaadhalaalae kabadam seiyalaama
Abalai aagalaama….
Since plotting and fate have triumphed,
Now that my vow has been fulfilled,
As all my worries fade away,
And my dreams come true just as my heart wished.
Senseless with blind desire,
She grew arrogant because of love.
If the queen sets her mind to it,
If you make up your mind,
Queen, wouldn't even a garland stir at your command?
I will paint new colors even on a rainbow,
I will show the way to ruin her life.
I will spark revenge and plant my victory flag,
I will seal her mouth to put an end to her deceit.
Muthamma! Mother! Vijaya!
Did someone pour poison
into your life, Nalini?
Did they betray you without any pity in their hearts?
Though abundant wealth was waiting in hand, it has all gone to waste.
Is it right to deceive for the sake of forbidden love?
Should you be reduced to a helpless woman?
