Help with mAlai varum vELai

[narayara000]

Can someone provide the lyrics and meaning of mAlai varum vELai?
I cannot find the lyrics or meaning anywhere online.
I have tried to write some of the lyrics as sung by Sudha Raghunathan in "Raaga Maala", but it needs verification and I cannot figure out a lot of the words.
