Malayalam Lyrics (Transliterated)
Malare mounama mounama vedhama
Malargal pesuma pesinaal ooyuma anbae
Paadhi jeevan kondu dhegam vaazhndhu vandhadho
Meedhi jeevan unnai partha podhu vandhadho
Edho sugam ulloorudhae
Eno manam thallaadudhae
Viralgal thodavaa
Virundhai theravaa
Maarbodu kangal moodavaa
Malare mounama
Kanavu kandu endhan kangal moodi kidandhen
Kaatru pola vandhu kangal mella thirandhen
Kaatrae enna killaadhiru
Poove ennai thallaadhiru
Urave urave uyirin uyirae
Pudhu vaazhkai thandha vallalae
Malare mounama mounama vedhama
Malargal pesumaa
Pesinaal ooyuma anbae
