Oh sweet bottle gourd flower,
You charmed me and made me fall for you.
I am completely lost now,
All because of you, only because of you.
Like a bowl full of sandalwood,
You are a man who smells so fragrant.
I am wandering around crazy,
All on my own, completely out of my mind.
Along the path, the sweet fragrance...
...you gave it to me, didn't you?
Drinking it in through my eyes,
I went on my way, my dear girl.
The love you planted in my soul,
It is only because of that love,
That I stood blooming like a flower,
Right in front of your eyes.
Nallakkaal munivanaaradha

Ha ha
Nallakkaal munivanaaradha
Munivanaaradha
Hey hey
Thaanaano ohoho, my dear
Aaraaro ohoho, my dear
Thaanaano ohoho, my dear
Aaraaro ohoho, my dear
Splitting open my chest,
You slipped right into my heart.
Erasing who I was,
You wrote yourself into me.
On the tip of your mustache,
I cast my fishing line.
Cupping my hands to call you,
I shout your name out loud.
The vast sky meant for me,
Is nobody else but you, my wife!
I would turn into pitch darkness,
If you were not there by my side.
Sprouting like a big tree,
You stand deep inside my heart,
Giving me shelter and shade.
What more can I say?
Nallakkaal munivanaaradha
Munivanaaradha
Ha ha
Nallakkaal munivanaaradha
Munivanaaradha
Hey hey
Thaanaano ohoho, my dear
Aaraaro ohoho, my dear
Thaanaano ohoho, my dear
Aaraaro ohoho, my dear
Holding on to your thoughts,
My soul stays alive.
With the passing waves of memory,
I quench my thirst.
I keep my distance for now,
I walk away from you,
Only so we can live together one day,
My heart yearns so deeply.
You used to stand so stern and stiff,
Standing so proud and tough,
Yet you tumbled and fell for me,
My dear brave soldier!
Just wait a little longer, a bright and happy
Time will soon dawn for us.
Nallakkaal munivanaaradha
Munivanaaradha
Ha ha
Nallakkaal munivanaaradha
Munivanaaradha
Hey hey
Thaanaano ohoho, my dear
Aaraaro ohoho, my dear
Thaanaano ohoho, my dear
Aaraaro ohoho, my dear
