| Ah kutti poochi nenjukullae | Ah, a tiny insect inside my heart |
| Thangi oorura | Stays and crawls around |
| Ava dhaan kuchi mittai | She is indeed a stick candy |
| Uchi kotti thinga sollura | Asking me to enjoy eating it with a clacking tongue |
| Male | |
| Vatti katti kaadhalichu | Loving with interest compounded |
| Konja sollura | She asks me to fondle and pamper her |
| Ava dhaan motha palla | She, displaying her full set of teeth |
| Kaati enna minji kollura | Shows a wide smile and overpowers me with charm |
| Male | |
| Thanjavoru bomma pola | Like a Tanjore bobblehead doll |
| Thathalikuren..naanum | I am bobbling and swaying helpless |
| Thappi thappi vaarthaiya dhaan | Stumbling and faltering with words |

ஆ.. குட்டிப்பூச்சி நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே
தங்கி ஊறுரா
அவதான் குச்சி மிட்டாய்
உச்சி கொட்டி திங்க சொல்லுறா
Ah, a tiny insect inside my heart
Stays and crawls around
She is indeed a stick candy
Asking me to enjoy eating it with a clacking tongue
வட்டி கட்டி காதலிச்சி
கொஞ்ச சொல்லுறா
அவதான் மொத்த பல்ல காட்டி
என்னை மிஞ்சி கொல்லுறா
Loving with interest compounded
She asks me to fondle and pamper her
She, displaying her full set of teeth
Shows a wide smile and overpowers me with charm
தஞ்சாவூரு பொம்மை போலே
தத்தளிக்கிறேன்...நானும்
தப்பி தப்பி வார்த்தையைத் தான்
கொப்பளிக்கிறேன்
Like a Tanjore bobblehead doll
I am bobbling and swaying helpless
Stumbling and faltering with words
I spit out and gurgle words
கட்டிபோட்ட யானையாட்டம்
முட்டி மோதுறேன்
என் கட்டி தங்கம் சொல்லுக்கு தான்
மெட்டு ஒதுறேன்
Like a bound elephant thrashing
I bump and butt around
For my solid gold girl's
Words, I compose a musical tune
ஆ.. குட்டிப்பூச்சி நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே
தங்கி ஊறுரா
அவதான் குச்சி மிட்டாய்
உச்சி கொட்டி திங்க சொல்லுறா
A tiny insect inside my heart
Stays and crawls around
She is indeed a stick candy
Asking me to enjoy eating it with a clacking tongue
வட்டி கட்டி காதலிச்சி
கொஞ்ச சொல்லுறா
அவதான் மொத்த பல்ல காட்டி
என்னை மிஞ்சி கொல்லுறா
Loving with interest compounded
She asks me to fondle and pamper her
She, displaying her full set of teeth
Shows a wide smile and overpowers me with charm
ஹே…
மஞ்ச புள்ள சொல்ல சொல்ல
பச்சை காளை வெல்லவில்ல
மண்டையாட்டி தள்ளி நின்னுச்சே
As the yellow-decked girl keeps speaking
Like a raw season without trickery
She nodded her head and stood aside
ஓஹோ… சுத்தி சுத்தி ஊரை சுத்தி
கெட்டியாத்தான் கயிறும் பூட்டி
கொட்டி வச்ச புல்ல மென்னுச்சே
Ohoo... wandering all around the town
Tying tightly with a rope
The heap of a girl shone brightly
முணங்கி நானும் இனங்குறேங்க
மனசு எல்லாம் மனக்குதுங்க
கணக்கு எங்கே முடியுமின்னு
எனக்கு ஏதும் தெரியலைங்க
Muttering, I pine and yearn
My entire heart fills with fragrance
Where this calculation will end
I do not know anything at all
வட்டி கட்டி காதலிச்சி
கொஞ்ச சொல்லுறா
அவதான் மொத்த பல்ல காட்டி
என்னை மிஞ்சி கொல்லுறா
Loving with interest compounded
She asks me to fondle and pamper her
She, displaying her full set of teeth
Shows a wide smile and overpowers me with charm

Ava dhaan motha palla
She, displaying her full set of teeth
Kaati enna minji kollura

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Kutti Poochi' from 'Enakkul Oruvan' (2015) is a cheerful and eccentric expression of a man falling deeply in love. He compares the fluttering, giddy feeling in his chest to a tiny insect crawling around inside his heart. He uses playful cultural metaphors, describing his beloved as sweet like 'kuchi mittai' (stick candy) and noting how her captivating smile utterly disarms him, leaving him trembling like a Tanjore doll and restless like a tethered elephant.
