இனிமை காணாது
இளமை தூங்காது
இதயம் தாங்காது
Oh lips, with you
Without experiencing sweetness
Youth will not sleep
The heart cannot bear it

உண்மை ஆகும் என்றால்
நான் சொல்லும் ஒன்றை
நீயும் கேட்க வேண்டும்
மங்கை எந்தன் பின்னால் சுற்றும்
வேலை வேண்டாம் போய் வா
If the word you say
Were to become true
The one thing I say
You too must listen
The work of roaming behind me, a woman
Is not needed, goodbye

வழியை மறிக்காதே
கனியை ரசிக்காதே
திருடும் மனதோடு
இனிமேல் பார்க்காதே ஆ...
Do not block my path
Do not relish the fruit
With a stealing heart
Do not look anymore, ahh
பழத்தோட்டம் தன்னை
பார்க்கும் இந்த வேளை
பறிக்காமல் இங்கே
போவதேது காளை
This orchard of fruit
At this time of looking at it
Without plucking
How can a young man leave from here?
வழக்கம் மாற்றாதே
வழக்கும் தொடுப்பேனே
முதுகை புண்ணாக்க
முடிவு எடுக்காதே
Do not change the routine
I will ruin your livelihood
To turn your back into a wound
Do not make a decision
அழகான பெண்கள்
ஏசும்போதும் இன்பம்
அடிக்கின்ற போதோ
கோடி கோடி இன்பம்
பெண்ணே இன்னும் என்னை கொஞ்சம்
வைதால் என்ன
யே......
When beautiful women scold
It is pleasure
And when they beat
It is millions and millions of pleasures
Oh woman, if you scold me a bit more
What is the harm?
Female: Yeeeeeeeee

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Kaiyaalae Unnai Thottaal Podhum is a playful, romantic duet from the 1986 film Uyire Unakkaga. The song captures a lively conversation between two lovers where the male protagonist proclaims his unyielding devotion, claiming that mere physical proximity fills his heart with an overwhelming flood of love. He lightheartedly welcomes her rebukes and resistance as purely pleasurable encounters.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Kaadhal vellam nenjil modhum”
Love is poetically compared to a surging, overwhelming flood ('vellam') pounding against the heart.
Rhyme / Etukai (Second Letter Assonance)
“Idhazhae unnodu / Inimai kaanaadhu / Ilamai thoongaadhu / Idhayam thaangaadhu”
The second consonant sound repeats across consecutive lines ('dh' in Idhazhae, Inimai, Ilamai, Idhayam).
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navortchi)
“Adikindra podho / Kodi kodi inbam”
The hero exaggeratedly claims that getting hit or scolded by a beautiful woman brings millions of pleasures.
