{A budding mustache growing on the face
Is teasing us a little bit
Little by little, coming closer
And singing a song to make one feel dizzy} (2)

In this whole world?

நான் உன் காதலி நீ
ஊர் மேயவா உந்தன்
பின்னால் வந்தேன்
Am I a town guard,
Or your lover?
While you go wandering around town,
I came following behind you
காதல் கிளி
எந்தன் காவல் உந்தன்
சிறு மோதல் என்றால்
இங்கு ரெண்டில் ஒன்று
Love parrot is mine,
Protection is yours,
If this is a small clash,
Here it will be one of two outcomes!
பாமாவுக்கு நான்
கண்ணனடி நல்ல மாமி
வீட்டு மகராஜனடி என்னை

I am the king of my mother-in-law's house,
Do not touch me, sweet parrot!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful duet features a lighthearted banter between two lovers teasing each other about trust, affection, and possessiveness. The male protagonist assures his partner that his intentions are noble and that a good woman is the greatest treasure for a man, while lightheartedly chiding her for overthinking and harbouring petty doubts. On the other hand, the female protagonist playfully questions his wandering nature and demands his full devotion and protection.
