Aa…..hhkkkuhmmm…aa…
Saamakkozhi kooviyaachchu
Kuppan veedu pootti kedakku
Neththu potta thaappaala
Thorakkalaiye kuruvammaa
Vaalipa vayasu vaalipa vayasu
Kuppanoda ponjaathi kuruvammaa
Pozhuthaagiyum thookkam yaenammaa
Raavellaam thookkamilla periyammaa
Intha rowdypaya thoongavae vidalammaa
Padukkaiya virichaa ettumani
Vilakka anaichaa paththumani
Muththathaa mudikka rendu mani
Moththaththa mudikka anjumani
Yaenna idhu
Vaalipa vaalipa vaalipa vaalipa vayasu
Vaalipa vaalipa vaalipa vaalipa vayasu vayasu
Sakkalaththi mavalae kuruvammaa
Nee samaikkala kaaranam ennammaa
Aduppadikkulla vandhan raakkamma
Avan adikkadi seenduraan ennamma
Arisiya kalanjaa kai izhuppaan

Ah... hmm... ah...
The midnight rooster has already crowed,
Kuppan's house is still locked shut,
The latch fastened last night
Hasn't been opened yet, Guruwamma!
Oh, this youthful age, this youthful age!
Kuppan's wife, Guruwamma,
Why are you still sleeping even though it is morning?
I didn't get any sleep all night, Auntie!
This rascal fellow didn't let me sleep at all!
He spread the bed at eight o'clock,
Turned off the lamp at ten o'clock,
It was two o'clock by the time the kissing ended,
And five in the morning to finish everything!
What on earth is this!
Oh youthful, youthful, youthful, youthful age!
Oh youthful, youthful, youthful, youthful age, this age!
You co-wife's daughter, Guruwamma,
What is the reason you haven't cooked yet?
He came into the kitchen, Rakkamma,
He keeps teasing and messing with me!
When I wash the rice, he pulls my hand,
When I take the lentils, he lights the stove,
When I hold the ladle, he touches my cheek,
Where did he ever let me cook?
Guruwamma, married off to Chithode,
Why didn't you come to watch the movie?
I even bought the tickets, Mangamma,
But look, there's a matinee show going on right in our house!
When I bathed, he stared with mischievous eyes,
When I draped my saree, he grew all excited,
When I put on my blouse, he became restless and playful,
He kept saying, "Just stay still for a little while!"
Oh my goodness!
Youthful age!
Come, come, come, oh youthful, youthful age!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song is a playful, folk-style conversational dialogue between a newly married young woman (Kuruvamma) and older women in her neighborhood (Raakkamma, Mangamma, etc.). The older women question why Kuruvamma is waking up late, why she hasn't cooked food yet, and why she missed going out for a movie with them. In response, Kuruvamma humorously and shyly explains how her playful, affectionate husband keeps distracting her day and night with romantic advances. Whether she is trying to sleep, cook in the kitchen, get dressed, or bathe, her energetic husband creates romantic moments, turning their everyday routine into a constant 'matinee show' at home.

Adukkuthodar (Repetition for Emphasis)

“Padukkaiya virichaa ettumani ... Vilakka anaichaa paththumani”

The second letters of 'Padukkaiya', 'Vilakka', 'Muththathaa', and 'Moththaththa' share the sound 'dh'/'th', creating rhythmic symmetry in recounting the passage of hours.

Irattai Kilavi / Onomatopoeic Rhythm

“Kulikkumpothe kurukurunnaan / Selakattum pothe surusurunnaan”

Words like 'kurukurunnaan', 'surusurunnaan', and 'thuruthurunnan' use rhyming sound imagery to describe intense gazing, restlessness, and eager behavior.

Metaphor / Humor

“Enga ootulaye matni thaan paaramma”

The phrase 'matni thaan paaramma' metaphorically compares her husband's romance at home to a full matinee cinema show.
