Murukki Chuvannatho Song from Eetta – Lyrics in English with Translation

Murukki chuvannatho
Maaran muthi chuvappichatho
Do they turn reddish when chewing pan?
Or did your lover kiss & make them red?
Muttathe poove mukkutti poove
Muthani ponmani chund
Ninte moovanthi choppulla chund
Hey, flower in the courtyard,
Hey *Mukkutti flower,
Why is your pearl-like lip
Reddish like nightfall?
Murukki chuvannatho
Maaran muthi chuvappichatho
Do they turn reddish when chewing pan?
Or did your lover kiss & make them red?
Muttathe poove mukkutti poove
Muthani ponmani chund
Ninte moovanthi choppulla chund
Hey, flower in the courtyard,
Hey *Mukkutti flower,
Why is your pearl-like lip
Reddish like nightfall?
Murukki chuvannatho
Maaran muthi chuvappichatho
Do they turn reddish when chewing pan?
Or did your lover kiss & make them red?
Pottividarnnath poomullayaano
Pottitta mohamano
What blossomed suddenly,
Is it flowering jasmine or budded desire?
Pottividarnnath poomullayaano
Pottitta mohamano
What blossomed suddenly,
Is it flowering jasmine or budded desire?
Kaattu kavarnnath kasthooriyano
Karalile snehamano
What wind has stolen,
Is it kasturi or love of heart?
Kainaariyano kaithapoovano
Kallipenne nin kinavano
Is it *kainaari (flower), screwpine flower,
Or the dream of you,
Hey girl thief
Kainaariyano kaithapoovano
Kallipenne nin kinavano
Is it *kainaari (flower), screwpine flower,
Or the dream of you,
Hey girl thief
Murukki chuvannatho
Maaran muthi chuvappichatho
Do they turn reddish when chewing pan?
Or did your lover kiss & make them red?
Muttathe poove mukkutti poove
Muthani ponmani chund
Ninte moovanthi choppulla chund
Hey, flower in the courtyard,
Hey *Mukkutti flower,
Why is your pearl-like lip
Reddish like nightfall?
Murukki chuvannatho
Maaran muthi chuvappichatho
Do they turn reddish when chewing pan?
Or did your lover kiss & make them red?
Kettipidichath poonkombilano
Pattilam meyyilano
What I embraced is a flower branch,
Or tender body like silk?
Thattiyeduthath thazhamban ninnude
Thanka pathakkamano
Is it your golden locket,
Which cupid snatched from you?
Karivalayano kalthalayano
Kallipenne nin manasaano
Is it a black bangle, anklet,
Or your heart, hey, young girl?
Karivalayano kalthalayano
Kallipenne nin manasaano
Is it a black bangle, anklet,
Or your heart, hey, young girl?
Murukki chuvannatho
Maaran muthi chuvappichatho
Do they turn reddish when chewing pan?
Or did your lover kiss & make them red?
Muttathe poove mukkutti poove
Muthani ponmani chund
Ninte moovanthi choppulla chund
Hey, flower in the courtyard,
Hey *Mukkutti flower,
Why is your pearl-like lip
Reddish like nightfall?
Murukki chuvannatho
Maaran muthi chuvappichatho
Do they turn reddish when chewing pan?
Or did your lover kiss & make them red?
