ஹேய் ஹேய்

ஏவல் செஞ்சிட காத்திருக்கேன்
Hey hey
Hello groom, are you doing well?
Is everyone at home fine and happy?
At the doorstep of your divine presence
I have come and watched over daily
Considering whatever you decree as the law
I am waiting to obey your command

Hello groom, are you doing well?

பொன்மேனி உன்
மேனி தான் போராட
கூடாதையா உன் மேனி
திண்டாடினா என் மேனி
தாங்காதையா
Your body is like a golden body
You shouldn't fight with me, sir
If your body suffers
My body cannot endure it, sir
ராஜாத்தி ராஜாவுக்கு
ராஜாத்தி நான் இல்லையா
சொந்தங்கள் போனாலுமே
பந்தங்கள் போகாதையா
For the king of kings
Am I not your queen?
Even if worldly relations fade away
Deep emotional bonds won't break, sir
நேத்து வந்த கோபமும்
தாபமும் போனா போகுது
விட்டு தள்ளு சேர்த்து
வெச்ச பாசமும் நேசமும்
வீணா போகுது அள்ளி
கொள்ளு
Yesterday's
Anger and frustration
Let them go, brush them aside
The accumulated
Affection and love
Are going to waste, gather them up
ஆச பட்டதும் அவதி
பட்டதும் மறந்து போயிடுச்சா
அப்போ ஆள தொட்டதும்
தோள தொட்டதும் கசந்து
போயிடுச்சா
The desire we felt
The distress we endured
Have you forgotten them all?
Then, when you touched me
And touched my shoulder
Has it turned bitter now?
தொட்டதும்
தொட்டதும் சட்டுன்னு
விட்டுடுமா ஹேய்
ஹேய் ஹேய்
A touch once made
Will it disappear all of a sudden?

Hey, is everyone at home fine and happy?
கண்ணா என் கை
ராசி தான் கல் எல்லாம்
பொன்னாகுமே கண்ணாலே
கண்டாலும் தான் முள்
எல்லாம் பூவாகுமே
My beloved, my touch is lucky
Even stones turn into gold
Just by catching a glimpse with your eyes
Even thorns turn into flowers
பெண்ணுள்ளம்
எந்நாளுமே பேசாம
போகாதையா உன்னாட்டம்
தள்ளி செல்ல என்னாலே
ஆகாதையா
A woman's heart, forever
Will not remain silent, sir
To push you away and walk off like you do
I am unable to do so, sir
காதலிச்ச மோகமும்
தாகமும் நெஞ்சில் பொங்குற
வேளையிலே கை அணைச்ச
காலமும் நேரமும் மீண்டும்
கூடுற நாளையில்லே
The passion and thirst of love
At the moment it overflows in the heart
The times and moments when you embraced me
On the day when we reunite again
மொரைச்ச மொறப்பும்
வெரச்ச வெரைப்பும் இன்னமும்
மாறலையா அப்போ கொதிச்ச
கொதிப்பும் துடிச்ச துடிப்பும்
இன்னமும் ஆறலையா
The angry glares
And the stubborn rigid stance
Have they still not changed?
The anger that boiled back then
And the throbbing desire back then
Have they still not cooled down?
கொஞ்சுனா
மிஞ்சுற மிஞ்சுனா
கெஞ்சுறியே ஹேய்
ஹேய் ஹேய்
If I pamper you, you act dominant
If I act dominant, you beg
Hey hey hey
என்னங்க மாப்பிள்ளை
நலந்தானா எல்லாரும் வீட்டில
சுகம் தானா உங்க சன்னிதி
வாசலிலே வந்து நித்தமும்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Ennanga Maappilla Nalanthaana is a playful and affectionate song where the female protagonist playfully addresses her husband or groom. She teasingly inquires about his well-being while coaxing him to let go of recent spats and anger. She reminds him of the deep emotional bond they share, urging him not to let temporary misunderstandings ruin the affection they built together. Through clever banter and poetic coaxing, she expresses her devotion, calling him the king and herself his queen. She playfully mocks his lingering stubbornness, contrasting it with the warmth and intimacy they shared in the past, capturing the playful friction and romantic reconciliation between lovers.
