இன்னும் பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருந்தால் என்னாவது
இந்த பார்வைக்கு தானா பெண்ணானது
நான் கேட்டதை தருவாய் இன்றாவது
What will happen if you just keep looking like this?
Did I become a woman just for this gaze?
Give me what I asked for, at least today.
இன்னும் கேட்டுக் கொண்டிருந்தால் என்னாவது
இந்த கேள்விக்கு தானா பெண்ணானது
நெஞ்சக் கோட்டைத் திறப்பாய் இன்றாவது
What will happen if you keep asking like this?
Did I become a woman just for this question?
Open the fort of your heart, at least today.
இன்னும் பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருந்தால் என்னாவது
What will happen if you just keep looking like this?
மாலைக்கு மாலை காதலர் பேசும்
வார்த்தைகள் பேசிட வேண்டும்
பேசிடும்போதே கைகளினாலே
வேடிக்கை செய்யவும் வேண்டும்
அதில் ஆடி வரும் இன்பம் ஓடி வரும்
Garland to garland, words that lovers speak,
We must speak those loving words.
Even while speaking, with our hands,
We must play playful, affectionate games.
From that, joy will come dancing and running.
இன்னும் பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருந்தால் என்னாவது
இந்த பார்வைக்கு தானா பெண்ணானது
நான் கேட்டதை தருவாய் இன்றாவது
இன்னும் பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருந்தால் என்னாவது
What will happen if you just keep looking like this?
Did I become a woman just for this gaze?
Give me what I asked for, at least today.
What will happen if you just keep looking like this?
காட்டுப் புறாக்கள் கூட்டுக்குள் பாடும்
பாட்டுக்கு யார் துணை வேண்டும்
தோட்டத்து பூவை மார்புக்கு மேலே
சூடிட யார் சொல்ல வேண்டும்
இங்கு யாருமில்லை இனி நேரமில்லை
For the song that wild doves sing in their nest,
Who needs companion support?
The flower plucked from the garden, upon one's chest,
Who needs to give permission to adorn it?
There is nobody here, nobody else from now on.
இன்னும் கேட்டுக் கொண்டிருந்தால் என்னாவது
இந்த கேள்விக்கு தானா பெண்ணானது
நெஞ்சக் கோட்டைத் திறப்பாய் இன்றாவது
இன்னும் கேட்டுக் கொண்டிருந்தால் என்னாவது
What will happen if you keep asking like this?
Did I become a woman just for this question?
Open the fort of your heart, at least today.
What will happen if you keep asking like this?
செண்பக பூவில் வண்டு விழுந்து
தேன் குடித்தாடுதல் போலே
சேர்ப்பதை சேர்த்து பார்ப்பதை பார்த்து
வாழ்ந்திட துடிப்பதனாலே
இனி பிரிவதில்லை உன்னை விடுவதில்லை
Like a beetle falling onto a Shenbaga flower,
And dancing joyfully after drinking its nectar,
Uniting what should be united, witnessing what should be witnessed,
Because of the intense longing to live life fully,
I will never separate from you, I will never let you go.
இன்னும் பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருந்தால் என்னாவது
What will happen if you just keep looking like this?
What will happen if you keep asking like this?
இன்னும் கேட்டுக் கொண்டிருந்தால் என்னாவது

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Innum Paarthu Kondirundhaal is a charming, playful romantic duet from the 1966 Tamil spy thriller Vallavan Oruvan. The song captures a sweet banter between two lovers expressing their affection and mild impatience. The hero urges his beloved to open her heart and embrace intimacy, while the heroine playfully questions his eagerness, teasingly asking if she became a woman merely to be gazed at or questioned. Through vivid imagery of wild birds singing freely in their nests and bees drinking nectar from flowers, lyricist Kannadasan articulates the natural, effortless flow of romantic love. Accompanied by S. Vedhachalam's lively composition and the soulful vocals of T. M. Soundararajan and P. Susheela, the song captures the joyful anticipation and emotional closeness of the young couple.
