ஆடிடும் பேய்களும் ஆடி ஒடிங்கிடும்
ஓடி ஒளித்திடும் பாரு
வீடு விளங்கிட விட்டு விடைபெற
வேண்டியதை நீ கேளு
Even dancing ghosts will dance and run away
Look, they will run and hide
Ask what you want to leave and let this house prosper
Ask what you need
பூ இருக்கு கருவாடிருக்கு
போவதருக்கு தகராறு எதற்கு
There are flowers, there is dried fish
Why dispute/quarrel about leaving?
ஆடு பேயே நீ ஓடுவாயே
கூத்தாடு பேயே நீ விட்டோடுவாயே
Dance, ghost, you run away
Dance merrily, ghost, leave and run away
ஏய் ..........
Hey!
ஆடிடும் பேய்களை ஓட வெரட்டிடும்
ஆம்பாளையே நீ கேளு
Listen, man who chases away dancing ghosts!
Listen, man!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful duet from 'Aduthathu Albert' (1985) features a humorous, lighthearted confrontation between characters dealing with spirits/ghosts, exorcism rituals, and love. The lyrics juxtapose comical references to exorcism offerings (flowers, dried fish, udukka drumbeats) with romantic retorts about how love transcends worldliness and ghostliness. The exchange uses witty banter where one side threatens with rituals while the other dismisses the exorcism and asserts the power of love over fear.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Rhyme (Edhukai)
