About “Muthumani Malai” Song
“Muthumani Malai” is a song from the 1992 Tamil film Chinna Gounder. The song features singers S. P. Balasubrahmanyam and P. Susheela. The music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja, with lyrics written by R. V. Udayakumar.
This is a tender, old-world duet of mutual devotion. Their verses move from longing and shyness to trust, passion, and belonging, each gift and whisper becoming a promise. The poem celebrates love that is sensual yet dignified, where every ornament, flower, and breeze speaks of two hearts wholly given to each other.
He:
A necklace weaves its tale of light,
each bead a kiss to hold you tight.
Your saree trembles, soft and shy—
love’s hum bleeds through the fading sky.You live within my heart’s own shrine—
your name is Virtue, truly divine.
A bloom from heaven’s sweetest row,
your scent is love I always know.
She:
Is the anklet’s chime growing mute?
No—it’s my longing, taking root.
He:
Can clouds ever truly hide the moon from sight?
Can its beauty ever fade from the night?
She:
O King, who draped his golden silk of love,
To the tender vine that came to your embrace.
He:
O fragrant bloom that gently drew so near,
O rose whose crimson glow stays ever dear.
She:
Come, my love, let us chase the scented breeze,
That drifts from jasmine blooms through garden trees.
He:
It’s the toe ring resting soft upon my feet,
That whispers in my ear a secret sweet.
She:
The sacred thread upon my neck so fine,
Sings a tale of love in every line.
He:
Wasn’t it I who marked your brow with vermilion red,
Right where the golden locket sways upon your head?
She:
Why would the fig flower tremble in the night?
When you stand beside me—my strength, my light.
He:
In whispers of desire and breathless sighs,
My body gently warms as my heart flies.
வண்ணம் கலையாத ரோசாவே..!
