கல்யாண பெண்ணே வாடி கண்ணே
உன் மேலாடை நான்தானே
வாய் பேசக் கூடாது உன் கண்கள் பேசலாம்
நீ தூங்கக் கூடாது என் பாடல் கேட்கலாம்
உனைப் பார்த்தால் ஆசை தீராது
Oh bride, come here my dear,
I am your upper garment.
Your mouth shouldn't speak, but your eyes can speak,
You shouldn't sleep, you can listen to my song,
My longing never ends just by looking at you.
கல்யாண பெண்ணே வாடி கண்ணே
உன் மேலாடை நான்தானே
வாய் பேசக் கூடாது உன் கண்கள் பேசலாம்
நீ தூங்கக் கூடாது என் பாடல் கேட்கலாம்
உனைப் பார்த்தால் ஆசை தீராது
Oh bride, come here my dear,
I am your upper garment.
Your mouth shouldn't speak, but your eyes can speak,
You shouldn't sleep, you can listen to my song,
My longing never ends just by looking at you.
பெண்ணென்று யார் சொன்னது நீ தேவதை
பிறர் உன்னைப் பார்த்தால் ஆகாது
கண்ணென்று யார் சொன்னது விண்மீன்களை
கலைமானும் உன் போல் ஆகாது
Who said you are an ordinary woman? You are a goddess!
It is not good if others look at you.
Who said those are eyes? They are stars from the sky!
Even a graceful deer cannot match you.
அஞ்சும் கெஞ்சும்
கொஞ்சும் அன்னப்பேடை
அள்ளும் என்னைக் கொல்லும்
இந்த ஒரு பார்வை
It fears and begs,
Like a playful swan step,
It consumes me, it kills me,
This single glance of yours.
வாய் பேசக் கூடாது
உன் கண்கள் பேசலாம்
நீ தூங்கக் கூடாது என் பாடல் கேட்கலாம்
உனைப் பார்த்தால் ஆசை தீராது..
Your mouth shouldn't speak,
Your eyes can speak,
You shouldn't sleep, you can listen to my song,
My longing never ends just by looking at you.
ஓடாதே நீ நில்லடி என் கண்மணி
அசைந்தாலும் தேகம் தாங்காது
இப்போதே என் பிள்ளையை தாலாட்டடி
இசை இல்லையென்றால் தூங்காது
Don't run away, stop right there, my precious darling,
If you even move, my body cannot handle the passion.
Lull my child to sleep right now,
Without music, it won't sleep.
மெல்ல மெல்ல மாதம் ஐந்து போகும்
துள்ளித் துள்ளி பிள்ளை வந்து விளையாடும்
Slowly, slowly, five months will pass,
Playfully jumping, a child will come and play.
கல்யாண பெண்ணே வாடி கண்ணே
உன் மேலாடை நான்தானே
வாய் பேசக் கூடாது
உன் கண்கள் பேசலாம்
நீ தூங்கக் கூடாது என் பாடல் கேட்கலாம்
உனைப் பார்த்தால் ஆசை தீராது
Oh bride, come here my dear,
I am your upper garment.
Your mouth shouldn't speak, but your eyes can speak,

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Kalyaan Pennae Vaadi Kannae is a lighthearted romantic track from the 1990 Tamil movie Pathimoonam Number Veedu. The protagonist playfully teases his newly wed bride, expressing his deep passion and fascination with her beauty. He asks her to communicate through her eyes rather than words and expresses how looking at her never satiates his desire. As the song progresses, he elevates her beauty to divine status, comparing her eyes to stars and her grace to a deer or swan. The lyrics playfully transition into domestic dreams, imagining their future life together, starting a family, and raising children filled with happiness.
