Mr. Majnu Lyrics English Translation by N.S.K.Ramya
Sri Mani describes a man who lives only in the present, like a hidden Krishna. He writes ‘he’s like an arrow lodged in the heart’ to illustrate his magnetic yet fleeting nature.

Manmadhudiki VarasudoOr the heir to ‘Manmadhudu’, the god of love?
Kavyamulo KamudoIs he the passion described in poetry?
Anthakanna RasikudaOr a connoisseur of pleasure even greater than that?
