Dragon Movie’s Maname Maname Lyrics (English Translation)
Maname Maname,
Oh heart, oh heart,
Ennathanbu Maname,
My beloved heart,
Thunaiyai Thunaiyai,
As my companion, as my shadow.
Nadanthai Arugae,
You walked beside me.
Maname Maname,
Oh heart, oh heart,
Ennathanbu Maname,
My beloved heart,
Enakka Enakkai,
For me, for my sake,
Sumanthai Valiyae,
You carried my pain.
Mazhaikkalam Mazhaikkalam Ondru,
A monsoon season once arrived.
Manal Konda Analai Thazhuva,
Yet the sand embraced the scorching heat.
Mara Vendum Mara Vendum,
Yearning to change, yearning to grow.
Endru Thondruthinge,
My heart longs for this here.
Karai Thedum Karai Thedum Kattru,
A restless breeze seeks the shore.
Azhagaga Kadalin Alaiyil,
Dancing beautifully in the ocean’s waves.
Thavazhnthodi Thavazhnthodi,
Crawled, stumbled, crawled, stumbled.
Thayin Madi Sernthu Uranguthae,
At last, it rested in a mother’s lap.
Maname Maname,
Oh heart, oh heart,
Ennathanbu Maname,
My beloved heart,
Thunaiyai Thunaiyai,
As my companion, as my shadow.
Nadanthai Arugae,
You walked beside me.
Maname Maname,
Oh heart, oh heart,
Ennathanbu Maname,
My beloved heart,
Enakka Enakkai,
For me, for my sake,
Sumanthai Valiyae,
You carried my pain.
Kana Kalam Mudinchu Poche,
The dreamt days have faded away.
Mazhai Thuliyum Onchu Poche,
Even the last raindrop has slipped away.
Irunthalum Enthan Vanil,
Yet in my sky remains.
Velliyin Kolamae,
Silver traces.
Nijam Thedi Alaiyum Vetkai,
A restless thirst for truth remains.
Nedunthooram Payanam Ache,
I journeyed through many miles.
Ellam Inge Thodangiya Idaththil,
Yet I stand where it all began.
Thedalum Theeruthae,
The search has now come to an end.
Puyalil Thadumarum Padaganen,
I’ve become a boat lost in the storm.
Oru Padaganen,
A lone drifting boat.
Kalangarai Vilakkam Thondri Vital,
If a lighthouse appears.
Oru Karaiyai Nan Ingu Adaivenae,
I may find my shore tonight.
Maname Maname,
Oh heart, oh heart,
Ennathanbu Maname,
My beloved heart,
Thunaiyai Thunaiyai,
As my companion, as my shadow.
Nadanthai Arugae,
You walked beside me.
Maname Maname,
Oh heart, oh heart,
Ennathanbu Maname,
My beloved heart,
Enakka Enakkai,
For me, for my sake,
Sumanthai Valiyae,
You carried my pain.
Mazhaikkalam Mazhaikkalam Ondru,
A monsoon season once arrived.
Manal Konda Analai Thazhuva,
Yet the sand embraced the scorching heat.
Mara Vendum Mara Vendum,
Yearning to change, yearning to grow.
Endru Thondruthinge,
My heart longs for this here.
Karai Thedum Karai Thedum Kattru,
A restless breeze seeks the shore.
Azhagaga Kadalin Alaiyil,
Dancing beautifully in the ocean’s waves.
Thavazhnthodi Thavazhnthodi,
Crawled, stumbled, crawled, stumbled.
Thayin Madi Sernthu Uranguthae,
At last, it rested in a mother’s lap.
