Maaraappu chaela Mayilaadum sola
Machaana paathu Varaiyaadho ola
Sendhoora poo mela Then paandi kaathaada
Mandhaara poonthottam Sandhosha kootthaada
Thattaama thatta thaalam Kotta thaali nee kattu
Maaraappu chaela Mayilaadum sola

Aanipponnu aalaanadhu Aanandha raagam paadiyadhu

Machaana paathu Varaiyaadho ola
Maaraappu chaela Mayilaadum sola
Machaana paathu Varaiyaadho ola
