Murada Un ThaaliOh my beloved rogue, your sacred thread,
Adaiyaalum Aachu NenjullaHas become the identity etched deep within my heart.
Anil Kattum VeedumEven a humble nest built by a squirrel,
Mathipaaga Thonum KannulaSeems precious and grand in my eyes.
Aridhaaram PoosiI don’t feel like wearing heavy makeup,
Pagattaga Vaazha ThonalaOr living a life of showy pretense.
Oru Vaayi SorumJust a single mouthful of rice,
Pasiyaathum Namma AnbulaSatisfies my hunger because of our love.
Nenachathu NadanthidaWhen my wishes come true,
Pidichathu Kidachadume Un Kooda VanthaAnd I get what I desired by coming with you,
Oru Oru Nimisamum Ulagatha PidichudumeEvery single minute feels like I’ve conquered the world.
Manakkura Siripula Mallikai Poo ThothidumeThe jasmine flower loses to your fragrant smile.
Nee Pottukitaa Plastic Valaiyum Platinum AagidumeEven the plastic bangles you wear turn into platinum.
Murada Un ThaaliOh my beloved rogue, your sacred thread,
Adaiyaalum Aachu NenjullaHas become the identity etched deep within my heart.
Anil Kattum VeedumEven a humble nest built by a squirrel,
Mathipaaga Thonum KannulaSeems precious and grand in my eyes.
