Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
'I Want to Marry You' (Kandathum Kaadhala) is a fast-paced, upbeat romantic dance song from the movie Charlie Chaplin 2. The heroine exuberantly proposes marriage to her partner while teasing him to stop playing coy. She uses quirky analogies comparing romance to teasers, food courses (breakfast, full meals, biryani), and local candy to express her affection and eagerness for intimacy, while the male lead banteringly cautions her not to get ahead of herself.

Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Kandathum kaadhala / Kaataathae baavala / Un kooda jodi sera vanthen aavala”
The lyrics employ rhyming line endings with matching rhyming syllables 'kaadhala', 'baavala', and 'aavala'.
Metaphor
“Kaiyaa pidichaalae breakfastu da / Muththam kuduthalae athu full meals da / Katti anaichalae biriyani da”
The singer humorously equates levels of romantic touch to different meals (holding hands = breakfast, kissing = full meal, hugging = biryani).
Metaphor
“Naan kamaru kattu / Nerungi vanthu kadichiko maama”
The heroine compares herself to 'kamarkattu' (a popular Tamil traditional hard coconut jaggery candy), inviting her lover to bite into sweet affection.
