Maveli Nadu Vaneedum Kalam: Lyrics in Malayalam

മാവേലി നാട് വാണീടും കാലം 

മാനുഷരെല്ലാരും ഒന്നു പോലെ

അമോതത്തോടെ വസിക്കും കാലം

അപതങ്ങാര്‍ക്കുമോട്ടില്ല താനും 

ആധികള്‍ വ്യാധികള്‍ ഒന്നുമില്ല 

ബാല മരണങ്ങള്‍ കേള്‍ക്കാനില്ല 

കള്ളവുമില്ല ചതിയുമില്ല

എള്ളോളമില്ല പൊളിവചനം 

കള്ളപ്പറയും ചെറു നാഴിയും 

കള്ളത്തരങ്ങള്‍ മറ്റൊന്നുമില്ല 

Maveli Nadu Vaneedum Kalam: Lyrics in English

Maveli nadu vaneedum kalam

manusharellarum onnupole

amodhathode vasikkum kalam

apathangarkkumottillathanum

adhikal vyadhikalonnumilla

balamaranangal kelppanilla 

kallavum illa chathiyumilla

ellolamilla polivachanam

kallapparayum cherunazhiyum

kallatharangal mattonnumilla

Meaning of the Lyrics: Explained

When Maveli, our King, ruled the land,

All the people were equal.

And people were joyful and merry;

They were all free from harm.

There was neither anxiety nor sickness,

Deaths of children were unheard of,

There were no lies,

There was neither theft nor deceit,

And no one was false in speech either.

Measures and weights were right;

No one cheated or wronged his neighbor.
