ஹேய் யாரப் பத்தி பாடுறே
Hey, who are you singing about?
ஹையோ நம்ம ஊர பத்தி பாடுறேங்க
Oh dear, he is singing about our village!
ம்ம்... பச்சை நிற தாவணியில்
பட்டுடலை காட்டுகிறாய்
இச்சை கொள்ளும் பேரழகை
ஏனடி பூட்டுகிறாய்
M... In a green half-saree
You display your silken body
This desirable immense beauty
Why do you lock it away, girl?
Male: Why do you lock it away, girl?
பச்சை நிற தாவணியில்
பட்டுடலை காட்டுகிறாய்
இச்சை கொள்ளும் பேரழகை
ஏனடி பூட்டுகிறாய்
In a green half-saree
You display your silken body
This desirable immense beauty
Why do you lock it away, girl?
ஏனடி பூட்டுகிறாய்
Why do you lock it away, girl?
என்னடி என்னடி ஓவியமே
உன்னை வரைந்தது யார்

ஏலே ஆட்ட முன்னாடி விட்டுட்டு
அங்க என்னலே ஆட்டிட்டு கெடக்க
Hey, leaving the goat ahead
Waving around there uncontrollably
ஏ... ஆட்ட தட்டி நான் வீட்ட சுமக்கணும்
காட்டுப் புள்ளை உன்ன கையில் சுமக்கணும்
எம் பொழப்பு எம் பொழப்பு
என்ன அதட்டி நீ மூட்ட சுமக்கணும்
ஆட்டையும் ஆளையும் சேத்து சுமக்கணும்
உம் பொழப்பு உம் பொழப்பு
Hey... driving the goat, I must carry the home
Wild child, I must carry you in my arms
That's my livelihood, my livelihood
Pushing me, you must carry eggs
Carrying both the goat and the man together
That's your livelihood, your livelihood
சாரல் மழையோடு வந்தாள்
கோடை வெயிலோடும் வந்தாள்
யாரோ அவள் வீசும் தென்றலே
பாவை அவள் மாலை வந்தாள்
காலை பொழுதோடு சென்றாள்
யாரோ அவள் ஆசை திங்களே.....ஏ.....
She came with the drizzling rain
She also came with the summer sun
Who is she? A blowing gentle breeze...
That damsel arrived in the evening
She departed along with the morning
Who is she? My desirable moon...
கம்பன் இல்லை போடி
உன்னை இன்னும் பாட
எங்கே கண்ணதாசன்
என்றே நானும் தேட
யாரும் இங்கு தேவையில்லை
உன் அழகை பார்த்திருந்தால்
கற்பனைகள் கோடி வரும்
என்பது உண்மையடி
Even Kamban's poetry isn't enough
To sing more about you
Where is Kannadasan?
I search for him as well
No one else is needed here
If one looks at your beauty
Crores of imaginations will flow
That is the truth, my girl
என்னடி என்னடி ஓவியமே
உன்னை வரைந்தது யார்
சொல்லடி சொல்லடி ஜாடையிலே
என்னை இழுத்தது யார்
What is it, oh artwork-like girl?
Who painted you?
Tell me, tell me, through your gestures
Who pulled me in?
தாயின் ஒளி வீசும் முகம்
பார்த்தால் அது தானே சுகம்
வேறு சுகம் ஏது மண்ணிலே
நாமே மறந்தாலும் அவள்
பாசம் விலகாது நிழல் போலே
தொடராதோ அன்பிலே
Mother's radiant face
Looking at it is bliss itself
What other happiness exists on this earth?
Even if we forget, her
Affection, like an inseparable shadow
Won't it follow us in love?
பத்துத் திங்கள் தானே
அன்னை கொண்ட பாரம்
பின்னே எந்த நாளும்
நட்பே நம்மை ஆளும்
செல்லுகிற பாதை எல்லாம்
சொந்தமென ஆகிறதே
சொர்க்கம் இந்த பூமியிலே
சொக்கிட வைக்கிறதே
It is only for ten months
The burden mother carried
After that, on any day
Friendship alone rules over us
Every path we travel upon
Becomes our own family and home
Heaven on this earth
Makes us spellbound and mesmerized
என்னடி என்னடி ஓவியமே
உன்னை வரைந்தது யார்
சொல்லடி சொல்லடி ஜாடையிலே
என்னை இழுத்தது யார்
What is it, oh artwork-like girl?
Who painted you?
Tell me, tell me, through your gestures
Who pulled me in?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Ennadi Ennadi Oviyamae' from the movie Jannal Oram is a vibrant, lyrical celebration of romance, rural life, maternal love, and friendship. The song opens with admiring praise for a woman's mesmerizing beauty, comparing her to a finely painted masterwork and playfully questioning who could have crafted such perfection. The lyrics alternate between teasing romantic banter and the colorful, unpretentious realities of village life.\n\nBeyond mere romantic courtship, lyricist Yugabharathi weaves in profound reflections on human bonds. The song honors the unmatched comfort of a mother's affection, comparing it to a shadow that constantly stays close. It further elevates friendship as a guiding force that turns complete strangers into family, transforming life's journey into an earthly heaven. References to classical poetic icons like Kamban and Kannadasan highlight how true beauty and genuine human relationships transcend ordinary poetic expression.
