........................
Cotton candy tastes bitter, tastes bitter!
A butterfly bites me, bites me!
Even the soft Anicham flower pricks me, pricks me!
Don't you know why?
பஞ்சு மிட்டாய் கசக்குது
கசக்குது பட்டாம்பூச்சி கடிக்குது
கடிக்குது அனிச்சம் பூவும் உருத்துது
உருத்துது ஏன்னு தெரியாதா
Eating grapes burns my throat, burns my throat!
Walking on thorns hurts, hurts!
When the hot sun shines, I feel a cool chill!
Don't you understand why?
திராட்சை தின்னா
எரியுது எரியுது முள்ளில்
நடந்தால் வலிக்குது வலிக்குது
வெயில் சுட்டால் ஜில்லுன்னு
குளிருது ஏன்னு புரியாதா
I gather powder to draw a rangoli at my doorway,
But I end up placing dots at the opposite house's doorway!
என் வாசலிலே
கோலமிட கூட்டி வைக்கிறேன்
எதிர் வாசலிலே புள்ளி வைக்கிறேன்
I attempt to go to my own house,
But I end up standing at your doorstep!
என் வீட்டுக்கு தான்
போய் வர எத்தனிக்கிறேன்
உன் வீட்ட வந்து முட்டி
நிக்கிறேன்
Loving you and keeping my heart locked,
I stood like a thief stung by a scorpion!
உன்னை காதலிச்சு
உள்ளம் மூடி வெச்சு தேள்
கொட்ட விட்டு திருடனும்
திருடனும் திருடனும் நின்னே
Hey, give a kiss, give a kiss, give a kiss on my cheek!
யே இச்சு தா
இச்சு தா கன்னத்துல
இச்சு தா
Hey, pinch me, pinch my cheeks!
ஹே பிச்சு தா
பிச்சு தா கன்னங்களை
பிச்சு தா

Should I blockade your mind?
Should I weave your youth into charcoal?
My soul, am I caught on a chisel?
Hey arrogant girl!
மனச மனச மறியல்
செய்யணும் வயச வயச
கரியில் நெய்யனும் உயிரே
உயிரே உளியில் மாட்டேனா
ஏன்டி திமிராடி
Smiling and smiling, you make a mixed stew out of me!
Glaring and glaring, you fry me up!
Biting your lips, you turn me into chutney!
Hey proud fellow!
சிரிச்சி சிரிச்சி அவியல்
செய்யுற முறைச்சி முறைச்சி
பொரியல் பண்ணுற உதட்ட
கடிச்சி தொவயல் ஆக்குற
ஏன் டா கொழுப்பாடா
She does everything with her lower lip,
But with her upper lip, she scolds me!
அடி என் உதட்டில்
செய்க எல்லாம் செய்றாலே
ஆனா மேல் உதட்டில்
வையுறாளே
Oh, since when did you become such a fool?
Understand me, you silly man!
அட எப்ப இருந்து
இப்படி நீ மக்கான என்ன
புரிஞ்சிக்க மக்கானே
I click my tongue in frustration while you kiss my head,
How on earth am I...
Going to live and spend my life near you?
நான் அச்சி கொட்டி
நீ உச்சி கொட்டி நான் எப்படி
தான் உன்கிட்ட உன்கிட்ட
குப்பை கொட்ட போறேனோ
ஓஓ
Give a kiss, give a kiss, give a kiss on my cheek!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful duet from the movie Run captures the romantic banter and passionate longing between two lovers. The heroine describes the overwhelming sensory shifts brought on by love—sweet treats tasting bitter, soft flowers feeling sharp, and heat feeling cool—illustrating how completely distracted and mesmerized she is by her lover. In response, the hero playfully complains about her mischievous charms, comparing her smiles and glares to culinary preparations that turn his feelings upside down. Together, the song portrays a vibrant, intimate relationship filled with affectionate teasing, intense attraction, and eager yearning.
