Kanne... Kanmaniye
Kannurangaiyo... Poove
Mayilo, togai mayilo
Kuyilo, koovum kuyilo
Nilavo, nilavin oyilo
Imaiyo, imaiyin kanavo
Ra ra ro... mmm... Ra ra ro...
Ra ra ro... mmm... Ra ra ro...
Mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm...
Mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm...
Malaro, malarin amudho
Kaniyo, senkaniyin suvaiyo
Ra ra ro... Ra ra ro...
Mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm...
Mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm...
ENGLISH:
Oh my love
Oh the delight of my eyes
Would you not sleep my flower?
Are you the peacock or the plumage of the peacock?
Are you the cuckoo or the cry of the cuckoo?
Are you the moon or the light of the moon?
Are you the eyelashes, or the dream?
Are you the flower or the nectar?
Are you the fruit or the sweetness?
