அந்தபுரம் மகிழ வரும்
சுந்தரனே போற்றி போற்றி
ஆயர்கலை அனைத்தும் கற்ற
இந்திரனே போற்றி போற்றி

கன்னியர்கள் கன்னம்விடும் தென்னவா
எஹ் மன்னவா ....
என் மன்னவா ....
Welcome to bring joy to the royal harem
Praise to the handsome one, praise be
Learned in all sixty-four fine arts
Praise to Indra, praise be
Walk like a swan, waist so slender
Oh Southern king who makes young maidens blush
Oh king
My king
ச்ச்ச்ச்ச் அடடடட...
என்ன கிழவி இழுத்து கொண்டிருக்கின்றாய்
குமரிகள் குமைந்த்து கொண்டிருக்கும்
இந்த அந்தபுரத்திருக்குள் பாட வேண்டிய ராகமா இது?
அடிக்கிற அடியில் தாரை தப்பட்டைகள்
கிழிந்து தொங்க வேண்டாமா?
ஹ்ம்ம்.. கெளப்புங்கள்
Sssss oh my goodness...
What kind of slow tune are you dragging out, old woman?
Inside this royal harem where young maidens are yearning
Is this the song/raga that should be sung?
With the beat that I demand, shouldn't the folk drums
Tear apart and hang in shreds?
Hmm.. kick it up!
Aah come dancing, come singing
அஹ் ஆடி வா பாடி வா
ஆண் அழகை தேடி வா
பேரின்பம் காணலாம் வா
Come seeking male beauty
Come, let us experience supreme bliss
Aah come dancing, come singing
அஹ் ஆடி வா பாடி வா

Oh male beauty
ஆண் அழகே
ஆண் அழகே
சொக்கும் தேனழகே
கோடியிலே நீதான் ஓர் அழகே
ஒரு மாதுளம் பூவினில்
போதையை ஏற்றி விட்டவனே
கண்ணால் சுட்டவனே
நீ இளையவன் இனியவன்
எனக்கு நீ உரியவன்
இரவிலே பலித்திடும்
கலைகளில் பெரியவன்
இளமயில் ஒருமயில்
தனிமையில் உருகுது
இரவினில் நிலவது
கனல் மழை பொழியுது
எரியும் பருவ விரகம் அடைய அணைத்திடவ
Oh male beauty
Enchanting honey-like beauty
Among all creepers, you are the singular beauty
In a single pomegranate flower
You are the one who injected intoxication
The one who burned with eyes
You are young, you are sweet
You belong to me
In the arts that bloom in the night
You are the greatest master
In youth, in unity
Melting away in loneliness
In the night, the moon
Pours a shower of glowing embers
To quench the burning passion of youth
Shall I embrace you?
Hey darling, who is that?
ஹெய் கண்மணி யாரடி

Six feet of bound long hair
Lay down a mattress on the cot
Let my jasmine floral bunches turn into balls to play with
என் மல்லிகை செண்டுகள் பந்துகளாக மாறட்டும்
என் மன்னவன் கைகளில் அந்தியில் ஆட சேரட்டும்
என் மேனியில் எத்தனை எத்தனை மச்சம் பார்க்கட்டும்
என் காதலன் அத்தனை அத்தனை முத்தம் போடட்டும்
Let them join to dance in dusk within my king's hands
Let him count how many moles are on my body
Let my lover shower as many kisses as he desires
You can lift me up in your arms
என்னை கைகளில் நீ ஏந்தலாம்
என் பொய்கையில் நீ நீந்தலாம்
நான் நீரிலும் தாமரை பூக்களா
ஓர் பூவிலும் நீரது ஊறலாம்
You can swim in my pond
Am I lotus flowers even in water?
Even in a flower, the whole town overflows
Hey young maiden come, come coaxing
ஹெய் வஞ்சி வா கொஞ்சி வா
மன்னவன் நான் கெஞ்சவா
தேனை அள்ளி கொட்ட வா டி
Should I, the king, beg you?
Come to pour and shower honey, girl
Come close, my man

King of beauty, come close to my side

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a grand, high-energy harem song from the historical-comedy film 'Imsai Arasan 23rd Pulikecei'. It starts with traditional slow courtly praises sung by elderly attendants, which the foolish and eccentric king Pulikecei (played by Vadivelu) interrupts for being too dull. He demands high-tempo beats that would rip the drums apart. What follows is a lively, seductive duet between the king and the harem dancers.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Emonai (Second letter rhyming)
“Kannile meenadi / Nenjile thenadi”
Rhyming of the second consonant across lines ('Kannile' and 'Nenjile', 'Komagan' and 'Thaamatham').
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Kanni ival kannamo amutha paathiram”
Comparing the maiden's cheek directly to a vessel containing divine nectar ('amutha paathiram').
Alliteration (Monaai)
“Aah aadi vaa paadi vaa”
Repetition of initial 'A' sounds in 'Aah aadi vaa paadi vaa / Aan azhagai...'

Trivia
This track serves as iconic comedic highlight in 'Imsai Arasan 23rd Pulikecei', where actor Vadivelu plays a double role including the tyrannical yet buffoonish king. The lyrics were written by legendary lyricist Pulamaipithan using classical Tamil poetic humor mixed with theatrical folk beats composed by Sabesh-Murali.
