மூக்கு முழி உள்ளவன்டி
மூக்குவாளி மூக்கனடி அவன்
மாரழகை பார்ப்பதற்கே
மாசம் ஒன்னு வேணுமடி
பேரழு மன்மதனின்
பேரச் சொன்னா வெட்கம் வரும்...
He is a man with fine features and a sharp nose
He is a nose-ringed handsome fellow, my dear
To admire his handsome chest
It would take a whole month, my dear
Speaking the name of the handsome god of love
Brings shyness to my face

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful song from Sabash (1984) depicts a lighthearted, rhythmic dialogue between female companions teasing each other about love, youthfulness, and martial intimacy. The main protagonist describes her admiration for her handsome cousin (Aththaan) and her longing as she sits alone by the riverbank, while her friend offers teasing romantic advice on managing a husband and embracing youthful passions with metaphors of wrestling (Mallukkattu) and bull-taming (Jallikkattu). Written by Vaali with music by Shankar-Ganesh, the track blends energetic folk rhythms with cheeky lyrical banter, brought to life through the vibrant vocals of S. P. Sailaja and B. S. Sasirekha.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Second Letter Rhyme (Edhugai)
“Siththaada uduththi chittaana oruththi / Aththaana nenachchirunthaa”
The repetition of 'th' consonant in the second letter creates a rhythmic flow across lines (e.g., 'Siththaada' and 'Aththaana').
Metaphor (Uruvagakani)
“Female :Mallukkattu ... Dhinam raaththiriyil ... Female :Jallikkattu”
Marital passion and romantic night encounters are playfully compared to traditional athletic sports like wrestling (Mallukkattu) and bull-taming (Jallikkattu).
Alliteration & Internal Rhyme (Monai / Iyaibu)
“Kodhikkum udambu thudikkum narambu”
Repetition of 'ku' and 'm' sound structures builds internal rhythm reflecting physical rush and excitement.

Trivia
The song features a lively female-duet vocal performance by S. P. Sailaja and B. S. Sasirekha. Vaali's lyrics utilize traditional rural folk expressions and metaphors such as 'Mallukkattu' and 'Jallikkattu' to humorously convey romantic intimacy, characteristic of 1980s Tamil commercial folk cinema tracks.
