Muttathe MullathaiEven as the jasmine in the courtyard,
Mottitte NinnaalumStands there holding its buds.
Muthaaram ChelodeWith the grace of a pearl necklace,
Muthaninju PoothaalumEven if it blooms in full adornment.
Muttathe MullathaiEven as the jasmine in the courtyard,
Mottitte NinnaalumStands there holding its buds.
Muthaaram ChelodeWith the grace of a pearl necklace,
Muthaninju PoothaalumEven if it blooms in full adornment.
Kandittum Kaanaathe NeeYou see it, yet you act blind.
Konjikkaan Chellathe NeeYou don’t go near to cherish it.
