மாலைய போட்டது வேறெதுக்கு
மாப்பிள்ள பொண்ணா ஆவதற்கு
தனிக் குடித்தனம் வந்தது வேறேதுக்கு
கூறணுமா அத உங்களுக்கு
Why else did we exchange garlands?
To turn a groom and bride into husband and wife.
Why else did we set up our own home?
Do I have to explain that to you?
அடுத்தாத்தில் நடப்பதெல்லாம்
பாத்து மனம் ஏங்குதுன்னா
ஆம்படையான் எனக்கிருந்தும்
ஆசை எல்லாம் தூங்குதுன்னா
Seeing what happens in the neighbor's house,
My heart longs for the same!
Even though I have a husband,
All my desires remain asleep!
மாட்டேன்னா விட மாட்டேன்னா
தரனான்னா ஒண்ணு தாங்கோன்னா
நல்ல நேரம் நல்ல மூடு இத வேஸ்ட் பண்ணுவேளா
If you say no, I won't run away.
If you are giving, please give me one kiss!
Good time, good mood, will you waste this?
இந்தப் படுக்கையிலே ம்ஹீம்...
நாளாச்சு வெகு நாளாச்சு
என்ன படுத்தணுமா ம்ஹீம்...
மணியாச்சு பத்து மணியாச்சு
In this bed, mheem...
It has been days, a long time since...
Do you have to make me suffer, mheem?
It is ten o'clock already!

பாடங்கள் சொல்லுற ப்ரொஃபஸருக்கு
நான் வந்து பாடங்கள் சொல்லணுமா
கூடத்தில் செய்திடும் சோதனையை
கூடலில் செய்யணும் சீக்கிரமா
To a professor who teaches lessons,
Should I come and teach lessons?
The experiments you perform in the hall,
You should perform in our union quickly!
ராணி என நான் இருக்க
எதுக்கிருந்தே போவலன்னா
ராத்திரியின் வேதனைய
தீத்து வெச்சா தேவலன்னா
While I am here like a queen,
Why are you staying away from me?
The pain of the night,
It would be better if you put an end to it!
தொடுங்கோன்னா அள்ளி எடுங்கோன்னா
விடுங்கோன்னா வெக்கம் விடுங்கோன்னா
நல்ல நேரம் நல்ல மூடு இத வேஸ்ட் பண்ணுவேளா
Touch me, embrace me tightly!
Cast away, cast away your shyness!
Good time, good mood, will you waste this?
இந்தப் படுக்கையிலே ம்ஹீம்...
நாளாச்சு வெகு நாளாச்சு
என்ன படுத்தணுமா ம்ஹீம்...
மணியாச்சு பத்து மணியாச்சு

It has been days, a long time since...
Do you have to trouble me, mheem?

மறந்து போனேளா என்ன மறந்து போனேளா

Won't you turn around, won't you desire me?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song, sung playfully from the wife's perspective, expresses her romantic frustration and desire for affection from her husband. She humorously chides him for neglecting her in bed, reminding him that it is already late at night and asking why he is wasting such a romantic opportunity and perfect mood. She teasingly questions whether she needs to teach romance to him—a professor by profession—and urges him to leave behind his shyness and academic mindset in exchange for intimacy. Vaali's playful lyrics capture her alluring impatience and affectionate banter.

Wordplay / Irony
“Paadangal sollura professor-kku Naan vanthu paadangal sollanumaa”
Plays on the dual meaning of 'paadangal' (lessons)—contrasting academic teaching with lessons in romance.

“Koodaththil seithidum sodhanaiyai / Koodalil seiyyanum seekkiramaa”
Matching second consonants ('di'/'dd') across consecutive lines to create a rhythmic flow.

Trivia
Chinna Vathiyar (1995) features Prabhu in a double role. The track is famous for K. S. Chithra's playful vocal ad-libs and playful humming ('mheem'), which added an endearing romantic charm to Ilaiyaraaja's composition.
