பெரும் பாடே
To serve a dish for me
O dried fish prepared by aunt
Without helping my hunger
You are causing great trouble
வரட்டும் திரு
நாளு மாமனுக்கு இலை
போட பழுத்த பழத்துல
தான் வண்டு வந்து
துளை போட
Let the auspicious day arrive
To lay a banana leaf for uncle
Only in a ripe fruit
A beetle comes to bore a hole
நாளும் என்னடி
நாளு சட்டுன்னு சம்மதம்
கூறு தோளு ரெண்டையும்
சேர்த்து சொல்லணும்
சங்கதி நூறு
What day is today, girl?
Quickly give your consent
Joining both shoulders together
A hundred things must be spoken
மனசில் உறங்குகிற
உணர்ச்சிகள உசுப்புறியே
விவரம் அறிந்திருந்தும்
மறந்தது போல் பசப்புறியே
Sleeping in the heart
You are waking up the feelings
Male: Even though knowing the facts
You pretend as if you forgot

By bending your waist
Do not walk like a swan
Me who is like a lit stove
Do not poke and stir up
கெடச்சா
வெளுத்திடுவ உன்ன
பத்தி தெரியாதா
வளைச்சி கதை படிக்க
பாடுறப்பா புரியாதா
If you get a chance, you will beat me up

To read a convoluted story
Don't I understand the trouble?

சூடு மாமன் நெஞ்சுல
சாஞ்சி மத்தத நீ பாரு
What talk is this, girl?
The heat is standing at its peak
Leaning on uncle's chest
You take care of the rest
மெதுவா வசியம்
பண்ணி நெனச்சத நீ
முடிச்சு புட்ட
அதுக்கு தகுந்த
படி அனுசரிச்சு நடந்து
கிட்ட
Gently casting a spell
You accomplished what you desired
Male: Accordingly
You adjusted and behaved

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful Tamil duet expresses romantic banter and flirtatious teasing between two lovers. The lyrics highlight the social anxiety of public gossip ('Jilla mulukka nalla theriyum' / 'Ella manasum pollaa manasu') alongside the intense private chemistry and affection they share. The lovers exchange lighthearted metaphors related to food, nature, warmth, and gentle trickery to articulate their mutual longing and playful resistance.
