Hey girl, go away, you are just a woman after all
I told you back then, but you did not believe me
சவுக்கு தோப்புல சீட்டாடப் போனே
சேல வாங்கித் தாராமே தானே
பாக்யராஜு படத்துக்கு போனே
புருஷன் எனக்கு தெரியாம தானே
You went to play cards in the casuarina grove
Didn't I buy and give you a saree myself?
Male: You went to a Bhagyaraj movie
Without letting your husband know, didn't you?
சிலுக்கு சுமிதா சினிமாக்கு நீயே
பாத்து ஏங்கத்தான் பலவாட்டி போனியே
மூணு வேள நீ முந்தான விரிச்சா
ஏன்டி நான் போறேன் என் தாகம் தணிச்சா
To Silk Smitha's movie, you
Went multiple times just to watch and yearn!
Male: Three times a day you spread your saree lap
Why would I go away once my thirst is quenched?
உன் தாகம் தெரியல்லே உன் வேகம் புரியல்லே
அறியாத பொண் தானையா
என் தேகம் எந்நாளும் உன் தேகம் கொண்டாடும்
சந்தேகம் கூடாதம்மா.......
I didn't realize your desire, I didn't understand your momentum
I am an innocent girl, sir
Male: My body will forever cherish and celebrate your body
There should be no room for suspicion, my dear...
என் மச்சான் நான் பட்டுக்குட்டேன்

Alas, a woman's wisdom is always behind her
Now I stand humbly right in front of you
என் மச்சான் நான் பட்டுக்குட்டேன்
உன்ன தெரியாம திட்டிப்புட்டேன்
Oh my husband, I have learned my lesson
I scolded you without realizing my mistake
மூக்கு நுனியில இருக்குது கோபம்
என்ன செய்ய நான் பண்ண பாவம்
புருஷன் கிட்ட எதுக்கிந்த ரோஷம்
விட்டு விடுமா நீ வெச்ச பாசம்
Anger stays right at the tip of your nose
What can I do, it is the result of my past sin
Male: Why this pride and stubbornness towards your husband?
Will the affection you nurtured ever fade away?
சண்ட முடிஞ்சது சந்தேகம் தெளிஞ்சது
கூடி குலவத்தான் கும்மாளம் பொறக்குது
நேத்து நடந்தது நேத்தோட போச்சுது
நேசம் பாசம்தான் நெலையாக ஆச்சுது
The fight is over, the suspicion is cleared
Joy is born for us to unite and celebrate together
Male: What happened yesterday left with yesterday
Love and affection have now become permanent
வாழல நான் போட்டேன் மன்னிப்பு நான் கேட்டேன்
அறியாத பொண்தானையா
தண்ணீர யாராச்சும் தடியால அடிச்சாலும்
ஒரு போதும் பிரியாதம்மா....
I bowed down in life and asked for forgiveness
I am an innocent girl, sir
Male: Even if someone beats water with a stick
It will never divide or separate, my dear
என் மச்சான் நான் பட்டுக்குட்டேன்
உன்ன தெரியாம திட்டிப்புட்டேன்
Oh my husband, I have learned my lesson
I scolded you without realizing my mistake
அடி போடி நீ பொம்பளதான்
அப்போ சொன்னேன் நீ நம்பலதான்
அடி பெண் புத்தியே பின்னாலதான்
நீ வாராதே என் முன்னாலதான்...
Hey girl, go away, you are just a woman after all
I told you back then, but you did not believe me
Hey, a woman's wisdom is always hind-sighted
Do not come in front of me
என் மச்சான் நான் பட்டுக்குட்டேன்
