| Anjaa nenja kenja vachuputtaa | Made my fearless heart beg and plead |

ஆஞ்சு ஆஞ்சு ஆஞ்சு போட்டுபுட்டா
இந்த சண்டாளி
அஞ்சா நெஞ்ச கெஞ்ச வச்சுப்புட்டா
She cast a spell on me
This ruthless girl
Made my fearless heart beg and plead
கொஞ்சி கொஞ்சி கொஞ்சி பேசிப்புட்டா
அட பங்காளி
கொள்கை எல்லாம் காத்துல ஏத்திப்புட்டா
Speaking so coaxingly and affectionately
Hey my friend
She threw all my principles to the wind
நல்லாதானே நான் இருந்தேன்
நேத்து வர தன்னால
நாட்டை கொஞ்சம் திருத்த வான்னு
சொன்னாளே கண்ணால
I was doing just fine
On my own until yesterday
Come reform the country a bit
She told me with her eyes
என்ன சொல்லுற சகல
அவ நெஞ்சுக்குள் பண்ணுறா ரகளை
அட அங்கிட் நிக்கிற விடல
என்னை எங்கிட்டும் நகர விடல
What are you saying, my friend?
She is creating a riot inside my heart
Hey, that young girl standing over there
Doesn't let me move anywhere at all
ஆஞ்சு ஆஞ்சு ஆஞ்சு போட்டுபுட்டா
இந்த சண்டாளி
ஆக்கங்கெட்ட கூவ ஆக்கிப்புட்டா
She cast a spell on me
This ruthless girl
Turned me into a useless vagrant
எங்க இருந்தோ வந்து தொலைஞ்சா
நெஞ்சுல கோலம் வரைஞ்சா
Where did she come from and drop in?
She drew a kolam pattern on my heart
ஒட்டு மொத்தமா உள்ள நுழைஞ்சா
அழகா மனச அறைஞ்சா
உச்சி வெயிலில் சுத்தி அலைஞ்சா
பௌவுர்ணமி போல தெரிஞ்சா
She sneaked inside me completely
Beautifully struck my heart
Wandering around in the peak noon sun
She appeared bright like the full moon
ஒத்த சிரிப்ப காட்டி மறைஞ்சா
ஆத்தாடி எங்கிட்டு ஒளிஞ்சா
Flashing a single smile, she vanished
Oh goodness, where did she hide?
மலையின்னா அழகர் மலை
சிலையினா ஆண்டாள் சிலை
தலை பூரா பூ முடிச்சும்
தளும்பாத அழகு கலை
If it is a mountain, it is Azhagar hill
If it is a statue, it is Andal's idol
Her head full of woven flowers
An unblemished work of artistic beauty
வார்த்தை எதுமே வந்து விழல
மொத்த தமிழும் ஒத்து வரல
No words are coming to my mouth
The entire Tamil language fails me now
என்ன சொல்லுற சகல
அவ நெஞ்சுக்குள் பண்ணுறா ரகளை
அட அங்கிட் நிக்கிற விடல
என்னை எங்கிட்டும் நகர விடல
What are you saying, my friend?
She is creating a riot inside my heart
Hey, that young girl standing over there
Doesn't let me move anywhere at all
பேர சொல்லி நீ பேச்சு கொடுக்க
பேச்சுல நானும் வழுக்க
ஊருக்குள்ள நீ ஒட்டி நடக்க
தாலுக்கா தாண்டி நான் பறக்க
You call my name and start a talk
And I slip and fall in that conversation
When you walk close by in the town
I fly high beyond all poise
என்ன தடவி மீச முறுக்க
கத்துகிட்டேனே சிரிக்க
மொத்த சிரிப்பும் ஆள உருக்க
இப்புடி ஏன்டி இருக்க
Caressing me and twirling my mustache
I learned how to smile
Her entire smile melts a person down
Why are you like this, girl?
கரை வேட்டி கட்ட வச்சா
காடு மேடா சுத்த வச்சா
ஊரு பூரா என் முகத்த
தோரணமா தொங்க வச்சா
She made me wear a traditional bordered dhoti
Made me roam across forests and fields
All across the town, my face
Was hung up like festive banners
கட்சி கொடிக்கே காதல் பொறக்க
வாக்கு கொடுத்தேன் மேளம் அடிக்க
Love was born even for the political party flag
I gave my word to strike the drums
என்ன சொல்லுற சகல
அவ நெஞ்சுக்குள் பண்ணுறா ரகளை
அட அங்கிட் நிக்கிற விடல
என்னை எங்கிட்டும் நகர விடல
What are you saying, my friend?
She is creating a riot inside my heart
Hey, that young girl standing over there
Doesn't let me move anywhere at all
ஆஞ்சு ஆஞ்சு ஆஞ்சு போட்டுபுட்டா
இந்த சண்டாளி
அஞ்சா நெஞ்ச கெஞ்ச வச்சுப்புட்டா

This ruthless girl
Made my fearless heart beg and plead
கொஞ்சி கொஞ்சி கொஞ்சி பேசிப்புட்டா
அட பங்காளி
கொள்கை எல்லாம் காத்துல ஏத்திப்புட்டா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song depicts a lighthearted, romantic political satire sung from the perspective of a local political leader or activist who finds his life upended by a charming young woman. Previously dedicated solely to his local causes, status, and principles, he succumbs completely to her charm. She convinces him to run for local office or campaign enthusiastically, making him wear traditional attire (karai vetti) and put his face on posters across town. In doing so, he realizes that his stern, fearless nature has melted away into love, leaving him powerless yet thrilled under her spell.
