அண்டையில வந்த மச்சான்
கொண்டையில பூவ வச்சான்
அண்டையில வந்த மச்சான்
கொண்டையில பூவ வச்சான்
My lover came close beside me
He placed a flower in my hair bun
My lover came close beside me
He placed a flower in my hair bun
அப்பால பாய விரிச்சான்
என் மம்முத ராசன்
அதச் சொல்ல காதக் கடிச்சான்
Then he spread out a mat
My sweet beloved king
To tell me that, he bit my ear playfully
அண்டையில வந்த மச்சான்
கொண்டையில பூவ வச்சான்
அப்பால பாய விரிச்சான்
என் மம்முத ராசன்
அதச் சொல்ல காதக் கடிச்சான்..
My lover came close beside me
He placed a flower in my hair bun
Then he spread out a mat
My sweet beloved king
To tell me that, he bit my ear playfully...
அதுக்காக அழைச்சான்
நெஞ்சு அலை மோதி தவிச்சான்
அதுக்காக அழைச்சான்
நெஞ்சு அலை மோதி தவிச்சான்
ஒடம்புல வந்து உரசினான்
உணர்ச்சிய தொட்டு உசுப்பினான்
He called me over for that
My heart throbbed and yearned like crashing waves
He called me over for that
My heart throbbed and yearned like crashing waves
He came and brushed against my body
He touched me and awakened my feelings
வாலிபத்து காத்தடிக்க
வாசன பூ பூத்திருக்க
வண்டாகவே மாறித்தான்
வந்து நிக்க மாமன்தான்
விட்டான் ஒரு பாணம்தான்
வில்லெடுத்த காமன்தான்
As a gentle breeze was blowing
And fragrant flowers were blooming
Transforming into a honeybee
My lover came and stood right there
He released an arrow of love
Like Kamadevan holding his bow
அண்டையில வந்த மச்சான்
கொண்டையில பூவ வச்சான்
அப்பால பாய விரிச்சான்
என் மம்முத ராசன்
அதச் சொல்ல காதக் கடிச்சான்..
My lover came close beside me
He placed a flower in my hair bun
Then he spread out a mat
My sweet beloved king
To tell me that, he bit my ear playfully...
வேணான்னு தடுத்தேன்
தள்ளி நான் போயி படுத்தேன்
வேணான்னு தடுத்தேன்
தள்ளி நான் போயி படுத்தேன்
நெருங்கியே வந்து எழுப்பினான்
நெனப்புல சூடு கெளப்பினான்
I refused, saying no
I moved away and lay down to sleep
I refused, saying no
I moved away and lay down to sleep
He approached close and woke me up
He stoked the heat in my thoughts
ஆத்திரத்த ஏத்திக்கிட்டு
ஆசையத்தான் மூட்டி விட்டு
தள்ளாடியே நானும் தான்
தத்தளிச்ச நேரம்தான்
மச்சானுக்கு தானாக
வந்திரிச்சு வீரந்தான்
Fanning the flames of my feelings
Kindling deep desire inside me
And as I tottered helplessly
In that overwhelming moment
For my lover, naturally
His valor and passion surged forth
அண்டையில அண்டையில
அண்டையில வந்த மச்சான்
கொண்டையில பூவ வச்சான்
அப்பால பாய விரிச்சான்
என் மம்முத ராசன்
அதச் சொல்ல காதக் கடிச்சான்..

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from Veerapandiyan (1987) is a romantic folk duet where the female protagonist playfully recounts the seductive advances of her husband or lover (machchaan). She describes how he approached her gently, placed flowers in her hair, spread a mat, and coaxed her into romance despite her initial bashful resistance and playful protestations. Through vivid rural folk imagery, she depicts his courtship—comparing him to a bee hovering over a blooming flower and to Kamadeva (the deity of love) shooting passion arrows. The song vividly captures the intimate chemistry, teasing affection, and sensual warmth between the couple.
