என் மனசுக்குள்ள நீ
புகுந்துகிட்ட
என் உசுருக்குள்ள நீ
பொதஞ்சிகிட்ட
You entered inside my heart
And settled right in
Inside my life and soul
You buried yourself
உயிரை கயிறாக நீ தான்
திரிச்சி புட்ட
அரணா கொடி போல இடுப்புல தான்
சுத்தி கிட்ட
You took my life itself
And twisted it into a rope
Like a waist cord around the hips
You wrapped yourself around me
கண்ண நீ கழட்டி எறிஞ்சி
காயம் தான் பண்ணி புட்ட
என்ன நீ கசக்கி புளுஞ்சி
ஜூஸ்ஸா குடுச்சு புட்ட
You plucked out your eyes and threw them
And caused a deep wound in me
You squeezed me thoroughly
And drank me up like juice
இப்படி பண்ணி புட்டியே
இப்படி பண்ணி புட்டியே
இப்படி பண்ணி புட்டியே
Oh, you did this to me
Oh, you did this to me
Oh, you did this to me
என் மனசுக்குள்ள நீ
புகுந்துகிட்ட
என் உசுருக்குள்ள நீ
பொதஞ்சிகிட்ட
You entered inside my heart
And settled right in
Inside my life and soul
You buried yourself
உயிரை கயிறாக நீ தான்
திரிச்சி புட்ட
அரணா கொடி போல இடுப்புல தான்
சுத்தி கிட்ட
You took my life itself
And twisted it into a rope
Like a waist cord around the hips
You wrapped yourself around me
கண்ண நீ கழட்டி எறிஞ்சி
காயம் தான் பண்ணி புட்ட
என்ன நீ கசக்கி புளுஞ்சி
ஜூஸ்ஸா குடுச்சு புட்ட
You plucked out your eyes and threw them
And caused a deep wound in me
You squeezed me thoroughly
And drank me up like juice
இப்படி பண்ணி புட்டியே
இப்படி பண்ணி புட்டியே
இப்படி பண்ணி புட்டியே
Oh, you did this to me
Oh, you did this to me
Oh, you did this to me
குத்தால மலையில தான்
கொட்டுதடி அருவி
மத்தாளம் போடா சொல்லி
பாடுதடி குருவி
Up on the Courtallam hills
The waterfall cascades down
Asking for the drumbeats to play
The bird is singing away
வாடி நீ
கட்டிக்கலாம் தழுவி
Come here, my girl
Let us hold each other tight
வாய் மேல் வாய வெச்சு
அளவு எடுக்க வாடா
பாய் மேல என்ன வெச்சி
பாடம் சொல்லி தாடா
Placing lips over lips
Come on, man, to take measurements
Placing me on the mat
Come and teach me a lesson
சுந்தரி நான்
இருக்கேன் சூடா
I am a beautiful woman
And I am feeling warm with passion
கை தாளம் போட்டு போட்டு
கை வலிச்சு போச்சு
மெய் தாளம் போட இப்போ
நேரம் நெருங்கியாச்சு
Clapping hands rhythmically repeatedly
My hands are starting to ache
To strike the rhythm of physical love
The time has now drawn near
அட நீயும் நானும் சேர்ந்தா
அடுத்த பத்து மாசம்
குவா குவா குவா குவா
Hey, if you and I come together
Male: For the next ten months
Kuva kuva kuva kuva (crying baby sound)
இப்படி பண்ணி புட்டியே
இப்படி பண்ணி புட்டியே
இப்படி பண்ணி புட்டியே
Oh, you did this to me
Oh, you did this to me
Oh, you did this to me
வேக்காடு இல்லாத
ஏற்காடு மேல
உப்பு மூட்டை ஆக்கி
உன்ன தூக்கி போறேன்
முதுகுக்கு சுகமாடி மானே
Without any sultry heat
Up on the Yercaud hills
Making a piggyback load of you
I will carry you up
It brings joy to my back, my deer-like girl
நோக்காடு இல்லாத
பூக்காடு உள்ள போய்
பாடம் நடத்துறேன்னு
நீ சொன்ன வரேன் நான்
இனிக்க துடிக்கிற தேனே
Without any pain or sorrow
Going deep inside the flower garden
Saying you will teach me a lesson
If you say so, I am coming
Oh sweet honey, yearning to sweeten me
ஊரை எல்லாம் போக்கு காட்டி
ஓரங்கட்டலாமா
போர்வைக்குள்ள நாமளும் தான்
போரை நடத்தலாமா
Trick and dodge the whole town
Shall we push everyone aside?
Underneath the blanket, shall we
Wage a playful war together?
அட நீயும் நானும் சேர்ந்தா
அடுத்த பத்து மாசம்
குவா குவா குவா குவா
Hey, if you and I come together
Male: For the next ten months
Kuva kuva kuva kuva (crying baby sound)
இப்படி பண்ணி புட்டியே
இப்படி பண்ணி புட்டியே
இப்படி பண்ணி புட்டியே
Oh, you did this to me
Oh, you did this to me
Oh, you did this to me
இப்படி பண்ணி புட்டியே...ஹே
Oh, you did this to me... hey!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful folk duet from the Tamil film 'Maniyaar Kudumbam' expresses intense romantic desire and playful teasing between a couple. The lovers describe how deeply they have fallen for each other, using dramatic and hyperbolic village metaphors like twisting life into a waist-cord or squeezing each other like juice. The lyrics shift between lush natural landscapes—such as Courtallam waterfalls and Yercaud hill stations—and intimate romantic banter about closeness, warmth, and starting a family together.
