My portrait reveals those blue eyes,
showing them off.. teasing me!
The thought of that woman, in the middle of the night,
appears.. keeps appearing!
When my ten fingers touch it,
won't a beautiful portrait come alive?
Male: Tsk, tsk, tsk...
Male: When I long for her silken body,
won't she give her consent?
Now or whenever, without telling me...

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
'Eduthu Naan Vidava' from K. Balachander's 1989 film 'Pudhu Pudhu Arthangal' is a playful, conversational, and rhythmically inventive song composed by Ilaiyaraaja with lyrics by Vaali. The song portrays a friendly banter between two musicians/friends where one attempts to sing high-pitched classical phrases while stuttering over certain words, and the other humorously intervenes to complete the sentences or tease his rhythm.

Trivia
The song is iconic for its comedic depiction of a singer struggling with a stammer while delivering complex Carnatic solkattu (rhythmic syllables) and vocal improvisations. Composed by Maestro Ilaiyaraaja and written by Vaali, it features dynamic vocal performances by S. P. Balasubrahmanyam and Ilaiyaraaja himself.
