கிங் காங்க போல
என்ன கடத்துற நீ
சிங்கத்தப் போல
என்ன கடிக்கிற
Like King Kong
You kidnap me
Like a lion
You bite me
சிம்பன்சி போல
நீயும் சிாிக்கிற ஹே
கோலாவப் போல
என்ன அணைக்குற
Like a chimpanzee
You laugh too
Hey, like a wasp
You embrace me
குட்டிப் பறவைகளா
கெட்ட மிருகங்களா இந்த
பாழாப்போன காதல்
வந்து மாத்துதே
Small birds
Wild beasts
This wretched love
Comes and transforms us
சின்ன இதயத்துல
உன்ன அடைச்சதுமே
இந்த காதல் வந்து
காமத்துப்பால் ஊத்துதே ஹேய்
In a small heart
After locking you in
This love comes and
Pours the milk of lust.. hei
ஸிப்ரா மேல் கோடுங்க
போல ஒயிட் நீ ப்ளாக் நான் பேபி
ஹிப்போபோடம்ஸ் ஹிப் ஹாப்பா
இது டைனோ டைனோ டான்ஸ்சா
Like the stripes on a zebra
You are white, I am black... baby
Is this a hippopotamus hip-hop?
A dino-dino dance?
டால்பின் போல லிப்லாக் தான்
இனிமே இனிமே ரொமான்ஸ்தான்
ஸ்டாா் ஃபிஷ்ஷா நாம் ஆவோம்
அந்தக் கடலே நமக்கு ஃபேண்ஸா
A dolphin-like lip lock
From now on, it's pure romance
We shall become starfish
With the whole ocean as our fans
...................................
தேன் திண்ண
இரண்டு கரடிகளா கட்டி
உருண்டு முத்தம் கொடுப்போம்
To eat honey
Like two bears
Hugging and rolling
We shall kiss
பசிச்சா தேகம் கூட்டும்
சிறுத்தைகளா காட்டு வெளியில்
ஓடிக் கிடப்போம்
Bodies yearning in hunger
Like leopards
In the open wild
We shall run and lie down
கண்துாங்க சோ்த்து
வர இதயத்த இரு ஒட்டகச்சிவிங்கி
போல
Hearts uniting as eyes drift to sleep
Like two giraffes
Female: Two bodies entwined in a new union
Like two intertwining snakes
இரு உடல் கோா்த்து
புது இணையத்த பின்னும்
பாம்புங்க ரெண்டு போல
When flying high in that sky
Shall we mingle... like eagles?
Female: When swimming deep underwater
Shall we unite... like whales?
அந்த உசரத்துல
பறக்கையில் கலப்போமா
பருந்தா
Small birds
And wild beasts
This wretched love
Comes and transforms us
கடலடியில
நீந்தையில சேருவோமா
திமிங்கலமா……
In a small heart
After locking you in
This love comes and
Pours the milk of lust.. hei...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'King Kong-a Pola' (often known as 'Kutty Paravai' / 'Ketta Mirugangala') from the film Idhu Namma Aalu, penned by Madhan Karky, is a playful, quirky, and wild expression of passion and attraction. It uses humorously vivid animal metaphors—comparing lovers to King Kong, lions, chimpanzees, zebras, dolphins, and bears—to depict the raw, untamed, and instinctual nature of romantic desire. The lyrics capture how love breaks down social inhibitions, transforming gentle lovers into wild creatures driven by natural passion. Through energetic wordplay and animal imagery, the song explores physical closeness and playful romance in a vibrant, modern pop-lyrical style.
