சித்திரக்கிளி பக்கம் இருக்கு
பொட்டப்புள்ள போல்
வெட்கம் எதற்கு ராஜா....
வித்தைக்கு ஒரு மெத்தை இருக்கு
கட்டிப்புடிக்க அச்சம் எதற்கு ராஜா.....
The beautiful painted parrot is right beside you
Why are you so shy like a young girl, my king?
There is a bed ready for the master of love arts
Why are you afraid to embrace me, my king?
அச்சச்சோ அச்சச்சச்சோ
ஆசைதான் பிச்சிக்கிச்சோ
அங்கங்கே கிச்சுகிச்சோ வாங்கோன்னா..
Oh dear, oh my goodness!
Has desire burst forth wildly?
Tickles are felt everywhere, please come dear!

The beautiful painted parrot is right beside you
Why are you so shy like a young girl, my king?
There is a bed ready for the master of love arts
Why are you afraid to embrace me, my king?
வெளியே உனக்கு விஷயங்கள் எதற்கு
கிளிபோல் இருக்கு விளையாடு
நிலவே இருக்க அகல் விளக்கெதற்கு
கதையே நடத்து களிப்போடு
Why do you need outside affairs when you are here?
I am here like a parrot, play with me
When the full moon is here, why do you need an oil lamp?
Lead our love story with boundless joy
ராப்போது நீ கேட்கும் சாப்பாடுதான்
சூட்டோடு நான் செய்த ஏற்பாடுதான்
தாப்பாளை நான் போட்டேன்
முன்னாலேதான்
தலைவாரிப் பூ வைத்தேன்
பின்னாலேதான்
The late-night feast you requested
Is right here
It is a hot preparation I made
With special arrangement
I bolted the lock
At the front door
I combed my hair and adorned flowers
At the back
அச்சச்சோ அச்சச்சச்சோ
ஆசைதான் பிச்சிக்கிச்சோ
அங்கங்கே கிச்சுகிச்சோ வாங்கோன்னா...
Oh dear, oh my goodness!

தரனா தரனா கேட்டதை தானா
தர மாட்டேனா மறுப்பேனா
கடனா கடனா நீ கொடுத்தேனா
கடன் கழிப்பேனா மாட்டேனா
Shall I give? Shall I give?
Whatever you asked for
Would I refuse or deny giving it to you?
Is it a debt, a sweet debt?
Give me sweet nectar like honey
Will I clear this debt or not?
எண்ணங்கள் எல்லாமே
பாட்டாச்சய்யா
என்னென்று உன் காதில்
போட்டாச்சய்யா
கால் நீட்டி கை நீட்டி
கொட்டாவியா
பால்காரன் வரும் நேராம்
லேட்டாச்சய்யா
All my thoughts have turned into a song, my lord
I have poured them into your ears, my lord
Stretching your arms and legs and yawning?
It is getting late, almost time for the milkman to arrive, my lord
அச்சச்சோ அச்சச்சச்சோ
ஆசைதான் பிச்சிக்கிச்சோ
அங்கங்கே கிச்சுகிச்சோ வாங்கோன்னா.....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a playful and romantic bedtime coaxing track sung from the perspective of a young woman playfully teasing her bashful husband or lover. She compares herself to a tender, painted parrot and questions why he feels so timid and shy like a young bride on their special night. Through witty metaphors, she reassures him, asking why one would search outside when everything he desires is right inside with her.
