| Male | |
| Ariyatha vayasu puriyatha manasu | An innocent age and an uncomprehending mind |
| Rendum ingae kaadhal seiyum neram | When the two fall in love here |
| Adi aathi rendum parakkuthae | Oh my, both are flying high in joy |
| Sedi pola aasa molaikkuthae | Desire sprouts like a growing plant |
| Rendum ingae kaadhal seiyum neram | When the two fall in love here |
| Male | |
| Vettaveli pottalilae mazhavantha | If rain falls on open barren land |
| Ini kottangkoochi kodaiyaga maaridum | Even a simple coconut shell turns into an umbrella |
| Thattampoochi vandiyilae seervantha | If wedding gifts arrive on a dragonfly cart |
| Ingae pattampoochi vandiyilae oorvarum | The town will arrive on a butterfly cart |
| Male | |
| Oh ho… | Oh ho… |
| Ariyatha vayasu puriyatha manasu | An innocent age and an uncomprehending mind |
| Rendum ingae kaadhal seiyum neram | When the two fall in love here |
| Male | |
| Pallikoodathila paadam nadathala | No lessons were taught in school about this |
| Yaarum menakettu padikkala | No one took extra effort to study it |
| Entha kezhaviyum sonna kathaiyilla | No old woman narrated this as a fable |
| Kattula metula kathula kalanthathu | It naturally blended into the wind across woods and hills |
| Male | |
| Oravukku ithuthan thalama | Is this the true headland for relationships? |
| Itha usura nenaikkum elama | It is youth that considers this love as life itself |
| Kaadhalae kadavulin aana | Love is indeed God's order |
| Avan bhoomikku thottuvecha sena | The force he created and placed on earth |
| Male | |
| Kodamaathi nadamaathi | Shifting pots and walking around |
| Adi aathi intha vasula | Oh my, at this tender age |
| Ariyatha vayasu puriyatha manasu | An innocent age and an uncomprehending mind |
| Rendum ingae kaadhal seiyum neram | When the two fall in love here |
| Male | |
| Karantha paalaiyae kambil puguthida | Trying to re-insert milked milk into the cow's udder |
| Kanakku poduthae rendumthan | Both are making naive calculations |
| Kora pullila metti senjuthan | Crafting a toe-ring out of marsh grass |
| Kaalula mattuthu tholula saayuthu | Wearing it on the foot and leaning on the shoulder |
| Male | |
| Ooraiyum oravaiyum maranthu | Forgetting the village and relatives |
| Nadukkattula nadakkuthae virunthu | A feast takes place in the middle of the jungle |
| Natha kootila pugunthu | Entering inside a snail's shell |
| Ini kudithanam nadathuma senthu | Will they set up a household together now? |
| Male | |
| Adi aathi.. adi aathi.. | Oh my.. oh my.. |
| Adi aathi intha vayasula | Oh my, at this age |

அறியாத வயசு.. புரியாத மனசு..
ரெண்டும் இங்கே காதல் செய்யும் நேரம்
அடி ஆத்தி ரெண்டும் பறக்குதே
செடி போல ஆசை முளைக்குதே
ரெண்டும் இங்கே காதல் செய்யும் நேரம்
An innocent age and an uncomprehending mind
When the two fall in love here
Oh my, both are flying high in joy
Desire sprouts like a growing plant
When the two fall in love here
வெட்டவெளி பொட்டலில மழைவந்தா
இனி கொட்டாங்குச்சி குடையாக மாறிடும்
தட்டாம்பூச்சி வண்டியில சீர் வந்தா
இங்கே பட்டாம்பூச்சி வண்டியில ஊர்வரும்
If rain falls on open barren land
Even a simple coconut shell turns into an umbrella
If wedding gifts arrive on a dragonfly cart
The town will arrive on a butterfly cart
ஓஹோ..
அறியாத வயசு.. புரியாத மனசு..
ரெண்டும் இங்கே காதல் செய்யும் நேரம்
Oh ho…
An innocent age and an uncomprehending mind
When the two fall in love here
பள்ளிக்கூடத்துல பாடம் நடத்தல
யாரும் மெனக்கெட்டு படிக்கல
எந்த கிழவியும் சொன்ன கதையில்ல
காட்டுல மேட்டுல காத்துல கலந்தது
No lessons were taught in school about this
No one took extra effort to study it
No old woman narrated this as a fable
It naturally blended into the wind across woods and hills
உறவுக்கு இது தான் தலைம
இதை உசுரா நினைக்கும் இளம
காதலே கடவுளின் ஆண
அவன் பூமிக்கு தொட்டுவச்ச சேன
Is this the true headland for relationships?
It is youth that considers this love as life itself
Love is indeed God's order
The force he created and placed on earth
கொடமாத்தி நடமாத்தி
அடி ஆத்தி இந்த வயசுல
அறியாத வயசு.. புரியாத மனசு..
ரெண்டும் இங்கே காதல் செய்யும் நேரம்
Shifting pots and walking around
Oh my, at this tender age
An innocent age and an uncomprehending mind
When the two fall in love here
கறந்த பாலையே காம்பில் புகுத்திட
கணக்கு போடுதே ரெண்டும்தான்
கோர புல்லில மெட்டி செஞ்சுதான்
காலுல மாட்டுது.. தோளுல சாயுது
Trying to re-insert milked milk into the cow's udder
Both are making naive calculations
Crafting a toe-ring out of marsh grass
Wearing it on the foot and leaning on the shoulder
ஊரையும் உறவையும் மறந்து
நடு காட்டுல நடக்குது விருந்து
நத்தை கூட்டுல புகுந்து
இனி குடித்தனம் நடத்துமா சேர்ந்து
Forgetting the village and relatives
A feast takes place in the middle of the jungle
Entering inside a snail's shell
Will they set up a household together now?
அடி ஆத்தி அடி ஆத்தி
அடி ஆத்தி இந்த வயசுல
அறியாத வயசு.. புரியாத மனசு..
ரெண்டும் இங்கே காதல் செய்யும் நேரம்
Oh my.. oh my..
Oh my, at this age
An innocent age and an uncomprehending mind
When the two fall in love here
அடி ஆத்தி ரெண்டும் பறக்குதே
செடி போல ஆசை முளைக்குதே
ரெண்டும் இங்கே காதல் செய்யும் நேரம்
Oh my, both are flying high in joy
Desire sprouts like a growing plant
When the two fall in love here
Ariyatha vayasu puriyatha manasu
An innocent age and an uncomprehending mind
Rendum ingae kaadhal seiyum neram
When the two fall in love here
Adi aathi rendum parakkuthae
Oh my, both are flying high in joy
Sedi pola aasa molaikkuthae
Desire sprouts like a growing plant
Rendum ingae kaadhal seiyum neram
When the two fall in love here
Vettaveli pottalilae mazhavantha
If rain falls on open barren land
Ini kottangkoochi kodaiyaga maaridum
Even a simple coconut shell turns into an umbrella
Thattampoochi vandiyilae seervantha
If wedding gifts arrive on a dragonfly cart
Ingae pattampoochi vandiyilae oorvarum
The town will arrive on a butterfly cart
Oh ho…
Oh ho…
Ariyatha vayasu puriyatha manasu
An innocent age and an uncomprehending mind
Rendum ingae kaadhal seiyum neram
When the two fall in love here
Pallikoodathila paadam nadathala
No lessons were taught in school about this
Yaarum menakettu padikkala
No one took extra effort to study it
Entha kezhaviyum sonna kathaiyilla

Desire sprouts like a growing plant
Rendum ingae kaadhal seiyum neram
When the two fall in love here
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This classic song depicts the pure, untamed, and innocent nature of youthful romance blossoming in a rural setting. It highlights how young lovers, unaware of worldly complexities and societal rules, experience love as a natural force—spontaneous like rain on barren land, or desire sprouting like wild plants. Love isn't something taught in schools or told in bedtime stories; it is an innate cosmic force placed on earth by God. The imagery conveys childlike innocence mixed with deep romantic longing, where simple things like coconut shells or grass rings transform into symbols of eternal affection.
