அன்பு நண்பனே அருமை தோழனே
இல்லறத்தில் சிக்கிக் கொண்ட புதிய கண்ணனே

விடிய விடிய மனைவி மடியில்
அசடு வழிய உறங்கும் மனிதன்

வெற்றி வீரனோ காதல் மன்னனோ
முழிச்சி எழுந்து மனைவியோடு என்ன பேசினான்
வெட்டிப் பயல் இவன் தொட்டும் பாக்கல
வெங்காயத்த உரிச்சிப் போட்டு தோல எண்ணினான்
Is he a victorious hero or a king of romance?
Waking up, what did he talk about with his wife?
This useless fellow didn't even try touching
He thought of peeling onions and removing their skin
முன்னாள் பேச்சுலர் என்ன கெஞ்சுறான்
கல்லூரியில் குடும்பம் நடத்த உரிமை கேக்கிறான்
பிள்ளையும் குட்டியும் பெற்றுக் கொள்ளவே
அனுமதிக்க வேண்டுமென்று மனுவும் போடுறான்
What is this former bachelor begging for?
I ask for the right to run a family in college
To give birth to children and young ones
He even submits a petition asking for permission
அன்பு நண்பனே அருமை தோழனே
இல்லறத்தில் சிக்கிக் கொண்ட புதிய கண்ணனே
உன்னைப் போற்றவே ஒன்று கூடினோம்
உண்மையாகவே வாழ்த்துப் பாடினோம்

Dear friend, precious companion
The new Lord Krishna trapped in domestic life
வண்ண சிட்டுகள் எங்கள் கண்ணிலே
வந்து வந்து சிந்து பாடும் இளமை நெஞ்சிலே
கொள்ளை ஆசைகள் கூடு கட்டியே
கொஞ்சி கொஞ்சி காதல் பேசும் எங்கள் நினைவிலே
...
பிஞ்சிலே பழுத்தவன் என்ன செய்யுறான் ஹான்
பிள்ளை பெற்ற மனைவிக்காக பொடவை தோய்கிறான்
மேனியில் பாதியாய் எளச்சுப் போயிட்டான்
குடும்ப பொறுப்ப சுமந்து சுமந்து களைச்சுப் போயிட்டான்
Colorful birds in our eyes
Comes repeatedly and sings songs in our youthful hearts
Abundant desires build a nest
Love talks sweetly and coaxingly in our memories
அன்பு நண்பனே அருமை தோழனே
இல்லறத்தில் சிக்கிக் கொண்ட புதிய கண்ணனே
What is this prematurely wise man doing, haan?
He selects and rubs sarees for his wife who bore a child
He has become so lean and thin in his body
Carrying and bearing family responsibilities
He has grown completely exhausted
உன்னைப் போற்றவே ஒன்று கூடினோம்
உண்மையாகவே வாழ்த்துப் பாடினோம்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful and humorous song revolves around friends teasing a newly married young man who has recently entered domestic life ('illaraththil sikkik konda pudhiya kannan'). The lyrics humorously contrast his former bachelor college life with his new duties, highlighting how domestic responsibilities, caring for his wife, and handling domestic chores have turned the once-carefree young man into an exhausted family man sleeping foolishly on his wife's lap.
