Thiruttu Raman’s Oo Siruchaalaiyil Or Kuyilamma Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Thanjai N. Ramaiah Dass uses the jasmine metaphor to question whether beauty serves a purpose. Ghandasala compares the woman’s smile to honey, while Jikki responds with reflections on virtue.
Siru Salaiyil Or KuyilammaThere is a cuckoo bird on the small road.
Nindru Paduvadhai KelammaListen to her standing there and singing.
Maru Malligai Or MalaraiyaaIs the fresh jasmine just another flower?
Pookum Podhu Adhu VeenaiyaaWhen it blooms, is it simply in vain?
Pongidum Punnagai Thaen SindhidaveYour overflowing smile spills sweet honey,
Poothidum Malligai Manam PolaeJust like the scent of the blooming jasmine.
Un Sirithen Idhazhinai YedhammaOh girl, what compares to your smiling, honeyed lips?
Siru Salaiyil Or KuyilammaThere is a cuckoo bird on the small road.
Kavingan Neeyo Kavi PaadaAre you a poet, singing such verses?
Katre Thandha Yaar EdhoWho taught the wind to carry this tune?
Kalandhe Palagiya Vagai ThaanaIs it simply the way we’ve mingled together?
Maru Malligai Or MalaraiyaaIs the fresh jasmine just another flower?
Vizhiyaal Komala Mohiye KooridumYou speak with your eyes, oh delicate beauty.
Kaniye Manadhinil Unnai NinaithidumMy mind thinks of you, my sweet fruit.
Kavitha Mozhi Pala Varuthe ThaaSo many poetic words come flooding to me.
Siru Salaiyil Or KuyilammaThere is a cuckoo bird on the small road.
Uyir Urugaiyile Inbame YedhaiyaWhen the soul melts, what is true bliss?
Manadhaal Maathiram Sugam IllaiPleasure isn’t found in the heart alone.
Gunamae Uyar Tharum Kanam AiyaaVirtue is the only thing that brings true worth, sir.
Maru Malligai Or MalaraiyaaIs the fresh jasmine just another flower?
Pookum Podhu Adhu VeenaiyaaWhen it blooms, is it simply in vain?
Siru Salaiyil Or KuyilammaThere is a cuckoo bird on the small road.
