Ente Priyathamanu’s Margazhiyil Manju Lyrics Translation
The song directly addresses an “alluring enchantress” and asks her to spread over the speaker’s heart. Another line speaks of reaching “peaks that ignite desire,” moving from a gentle invitation to a clear statement of passion. This turn makes the song’s intent unambiguous.
