Kuttram Kuttrame’s Maaman Magale Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Yuga Bharathi describes a beloved’s breath making life ‘tingle.’ A saree ‘asks for fingers’ through personification. Sensory details like scent on stone show love’s physical presence.
Maaman MagaleMy uncle’s daughter,
Marappu MayileYou’re a peacock draped in a scarf.
Maaman MagaleMy uncle’s daughter,
Marappu MayileYou’re a peacock draped in a scarf.
Kaathula Un VaasamYour scent is in the breeze,
Karunkallula Un VaasamYour scent is in the solid stone.
Ammadi En PechuOh my, even my own words,
Unkooda Katha PesumThey just want to talk with you.
Naakkula Un VaasamYour scent is on my tongue,
Nadu Nenjula Un VaasamYour scent is in the center of my heart.
Pollaatha Un MoochilIn your mischievous breath,
Mallanthe Uyir KoosumMy soul lies back and tingles.
Ayo Un Kolusu ManiOh, those bells on your anklets,
Aala Kolli PoduthadiThey’re absolutely killing me.
Kanne ManasukkullaMy dear, inside my heart,
Pattasu VedikuthadiFirecrackers are exploding.
Kandangi PodavayumeEven that ‘Kandangi’ ‘handloom’ saree,
Kai Verala KekkuthadiIt’s asking for my fingers to touch it.
Nee Munnaala NinnaWhen you stand before me,
Manvaasam ThookkuthadiThe scent of the earth fills the air.
Maaman MagaleMy uncle’s daughter,

Kannadi ValaviIn the wind that your glass bangles stir,
Kaatura KaatulaAs they move through the air,
Thannaala OdanjeneI shattered all by myself.
Therinjuka VanthaalumEven if I try to understand it,
Netham Netham TholaincheneI keep getting lost every single day.

Odambula Oru MethappuMy body feels like it’s floating.
Veliyavum Sollama ManasulaWithout saying a word out loud,
Pala NenappuMy mind is full of so many thoughts.
Veyilodu Mazha SeraWhen the rain meets the sunlight,
Uyir Thaana ThalumbuthadiMy soul overflows on its own.
Kuyil Koova ElangaathumAs the cuckoo sings, the gentle breeze,
Thesa Maari ThirumbuthadiIt changes its direction entirely.
Madimela SarinjaaleIf you lean against my lap,
Mayil Thoga VaruthuthadiIt feels like a peacock feather stroking me.
Una Naalum Thona SernthaIf I’m by your side every day,
Athu Varame Tharume SogameThat blessing will bring me a sweet longing.
