அன்னக்கிளி நீ வாடி
என் காதல் சீட்டெடுக்க
நெல்லுக்கு பதிலாக முத்தங்கள்
நான் கொடுக்க மஞ்ச மயிலே
உன் தோகையில் ஒளிஞ்சு
கண்ணாமூச்சி நான் ஆட
கொஞ்சி விளையாடி கும்மாளம்
போட்டு என்னை உனக்குள்ள தேட
Come, my sweet parrot, to collect my love note,
Instead of paddy grains, I shall give you kisses.
Oh golden peacock, hiding behind your feathers,
For me to play a game of hide-and-seek,
To cuddle, play, and celebrate in joy,
And to search for myself inside you.
ஜிலேலே

அன்னக்கிளி நீ
வாடி என் காதல் சீட்டெடுக்க
நெல்லுக்கு பதிலாக முத்தங்கள்
நான் கொடுக்க
Come, my sweet parrot, to collect my love note,
Instead of paddy grains, I shall give you kisses.
விழியில் விழியில்
தங்க ஜரிகைகளை பின்னும்
அழகில் அழகில் ஒரு நிமிஷம்
மனதில் மனதில் அடி பம்பரங்கள்
ஆடும் சரியும் உடையில் ஒரு
நிமிஷம்
In the eyes that weave golden zari threads,
In that captivating beauty, just for a moment,
Spinning tops dance wildly in my heart,
With your slipping attire, just for a moment.
மல்லிகை சரமே
பக்கம் கொஞ்சம் வாடி
மூச்சாலே உன்னை நான்
முழம் போட அழகே உன்னை
தரணும் நீ ஒரு நிமிஷம்
Oh garland of jasmine, come a little closer,
So I can measure your length using my breath.
Oh beautiful one, give yourself to me for a moment.
ஜிலேலே
ஜிலேலே .................
Jillele jillele...

From your jingling, shaking bangles,
A soft, sweet clink is needed for a moment.
Your arching glance that plays little tricks,
A moment at your slender waist is needed.
குலுங்கும் குலுங்கும்
உன் வளையல்களை இருந்து
சினுங்க வேணும் ஒரு நிமிஷம்
வளையும் விழியும் குட்டி
குறும்புகளை பண்ணும்
இடையில் வேணும் ஒரு
நிமிஷம்
Oh art of kissing, yield yourself to me,
Turning into water, let me scoop and drink you.
Oh beautiful one, give yourself to me for a moment.
முத்தாடும் கல்லே
விட்டு தர வேணும் நீராக
உன்னை நான் அள்ளி குடிக்க
அழகே நீ தரணும் உன்னை
ஒரு நிமிஷம்
Jillele jillele...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Jillele Jillele' (Annakili Nee Vaadi) is a vibrant and romantic folk-pop track where the protagonist playfully courts his lover. Expressing deep affection through romantic imagery, he offers kisses instead of grain to his beloved 'bird' and compares her charm to a golden peacock. He speaks of playing hide-and-seek in her warmth, measuring her beauty with his breath, and losing his heart to her graceful movements. Throughout the track, rhythmic folk refrains elevate the playful romanticism. The lyrics intertwine sensory metaphors—from jingling bangles to fragrant jasmine garlands—capturing the breathless enchantment and carefree joy of youthful love.
