ஹே ஆடை மாற்ற நேரம் இல்லை
ஆண்கள் செய்யும் காதல் தொல்லை
ஆடை மாற்ற நேரம் இல்லை
ஆண்கள் செய்யும் காதல் தொல்லை
மேடை ஏதும் மாற்றம் இல்லை இல்லை
மேனி இல்லை பூத்த முல்லை முல்லை
மோக தாகம் எல்லை இல்லை இல்லை ஹோ
Hey, there is no time to change clothes
The love trouble caused by men
There is no time to change clothes
The love trouble caused by men
There is no change in any stage, no
It is not just a body, but a blossomed jasmine
Passionate thirst has no boundaries, no, ho
ஆடை மாற்ற நேரம் இல்லை
ஆண்கள் செய்யும் காதல் தொல்லை
ஆடை மாற்ற நேரம் இல்லை
ஆண்கள் செய்யும் காதல் தொல்லை
There is no time to change clothes
The love trouble caused by men
There is no time to change clothes
The love trouble caused by men
காதல் சங்கீதம் கேட்கும் போது
கண்டு ஆடாத ஜீவன் ஏது
வராத காலம் அல்லவா
வந்தாடு காதல் மன்னவா
When listening to the music of love
Which living soul does not dance?
Isn't this a rare time that won't come again?
Come and dance, my king of love
தொடாது பூஜை செய்ய நீதானே
வராது தேடி வந்த மான் நானே
தொடாது பூஜை செய்ய நீதானே
வராது தேடி வந்த மான் நானே
வாடைக் காற்று வந்ததே
எனை வாட்டி காதல் செய்யுதே
கையோடு சேர கால நேரம்
பார்க்க வேண்டுமா......
Aren't you the one to worship without touching?
I am the deer that came searching for you
Aren't you the one to worship without touching?
I am the deer that came searching for you
The chilly north wind has arrived
It torments me and makes love
To join hands together
Do we need to wait for an auspicious time?
ஆடை மாற்ற நேரம் இல்லை
ஆண்கள் செய்யும் காதல் தொல்லை
ஆடை மாற்ற நேரம் இல்லை
ஆண்கள் செய்யும் காதல் தொல்லை
There is no time to change clothes
The love trouble caused by men
There is no time to change clothes
The love trouble caused by men..hey
பெண்ணைத் தேடாத சாமி யாரு
கண்ணை நீ பாத்துப் பேசிப் பாரு
இல்லாத ராக சங்கதி
எப்போதும் கேட்டு நிம்மதி
Who is the god that doesn't search for a woman?
Look into my eyes and speak
Sensual music nuances that do not exist elsewhere
Listening to them brings eternal peace
கள்ளூறும் பூவில் உண்டு தேனாறு
கையோடு சேர்த்துக் கொண்டு முன்னேறு
கள்ளூறும் பூவில் உண்டு தேனாறு
கையோடு சேர்த்துக் கொண்டு முன்னேறு
பாவை தேகம் அல்லவா
இதை பார்த்துச் சூடிக் கொள்ள வா
கிள்ளாத பூவை பார்த்துப் பார்த்து
கிள்ளிப் பார்க்க வா......
There is a river of honey inside the sweet flower
Hold my hands and move forward
There is a river of honey inside the sweet flower
Hold my hands and move forward
Isn't this a maiden's youthful body?
Come look at this and adorn yourself with it
Looking repeatedly at the unplucked flower
Come try plucking it

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Aadai Maatra Neram Illai from the film Paarthal Pasu (1988) is a playful, seductive dance track written by Gangai Amaran. The female protagonist playfully expresses how overwhelming, spontaneous, and urgent the romantic advances of men can be, leaving no time even to change attire. She compares her beauty to a blooming jasmine flower and describes her romantic longing as an unquenchable thirst. Through poetic imagery of cool breeze, rivers of honey, and divine devotion, she urges her lover to drop all hesitation and join her in passion without waiting for auspicious times.
