கண்டாலும் உள்ளம் தித்திக்கும்
என்றாலும் பெண்மை உன்னை சந்திக்கும்
All your golden bodily limbs,
Is it enough to merely look at them with the eyes?
Ah... even if seen,
The heart will feel sweet,
Even so, womanhood will meet you appropriately.

விசில் :
.........................
In a way that gently wilts the pearl necklace,
Embracing softly,
To receive kisses ten times,
I desired in my heart.
முத்துச்சரம் வாழும் வண்ணம்
மெல்ல அணைத்தேன்
பத்து தரம் வாங்கிக் கொள்ள
நெஞ்சில் நினைத்தேன்
We can kiss if you wait a little,
I will raise an alarm if you force it here!
Tra-la-la singing sounds
முத்தம் இடலாம்
கொஞ்சம் பொறுத்தால்
சத்தம் இடுவேன் இங்கு கொடுத்தால்
இருவர் :
லலலலல......லலலலலா
All the rules and regulations,
Why must they arise at this time, my dear?
Vocalizing sounds
Is it enough to just earn formal titles?
Can traditional culture be allowed to change?
சட்டங்கள் திட்டங்கள் எல்லாம்
சந்திக்கும் வேளை ஏன் அம்மா
ஆஹ்.....ஆஅ.....ஆஅ.....
பட்டங்கள் பெற்றால் போதுமோ
பண்பாடு மாறிப் போகக் கூடுமோ
Let the beginning happen today itself
Vocalizing sounds
Let six or seven days pass by first

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a playful and romantic duet depicting a humorous tug-of-war between two lovers. The male partner expresses impatience and eagerness to initiate their romantic romance without delay, while the female partner teasingly insists on patience, urging him to wait a few days to preserve traditional modesty (panpaadu). Lyricist Kannadasan captures the charm of classical romantic banter where the hero admires the heroine's beauty and longs for affection, while the heroine balances her love for him with cultural decorum, creating a lighthearted dynamic.
