ஹே லட்டு லட்டு
ரெண்டு லட்டு லட்டு லட்டு
ரெண்டு லட்டு சேர்ந்து
கெடச்சாலே லக்கே லக்கே
Hey laddu laddu, two laddus!
Laddu laddu, two laddus!
If you get them both together, it is pure luck!
சுக்குனா சுக்கு
மல்லி சுந்தரினா டிங்கரி
காப்பி சூடா கொதிக்கயிலே
சோடா என்னத்துக்கு எடுத்து
குடிக்கவா தேலஸ்து தோஸ்து
If it is Suku, it is dry ginger tea!
If it is a beauty, it is strong filter coffee!
When it is boiling hot, why do you need soda?
Shall I pick it up and drink it, my friend?
இதுக்கு எதுவும்
இல்ல வாஸ்து வாஸ்து
குச்சினா குச்சி மிட்டாய்
குமரினா பஞ்சு மிட்டாய்
For this, there is...
No Vaastu restrictions at all!
If it is a stick, it is stick candy!
If it is a maiden, she is cotton candy!
பேஷா இருக்கையிலே
பீஸ்சா என்னத்துக்கு இந்தா
எடுத்துக்கோ டேஸ்ட்டு
டேஸ்ட்டு இன்னும் தயங்குனா
வேஸ்ட்டு வேஸ்ட்டு
When traditional treats are great, why do you need pizza?
Here, take it and taste it, taste it!
If you hesitate any further, it is a waste, a waste!
லட்டு லட்டு
ரெண்டு லட்டு சேர்ந்து
கெடச்சாலே லக்கே
லக்கே ஒட்டு ஒட்டு
இருக்க ஒட்டு வாரி

Laddu laddu, two laddus!
If you get them both together, it is pure luck!
Stick close, stick close!
If you embrace tightly, it gives a total kick!

Ah, Vadivel!
Lord Murugan has a pair of wives!
Even his father Lord Shiva has his own charm!
அடியே

ரெண்டு வீடு தாண்டி
அதுல என்ன குத்தம்
வாய பொத்திக்கோடி
Hey girl, even women cross two houses!
What is wrong in that? Just shut your mouth!

பேஜாரு வீடு வாசல்
ரெண்டுனா ஓகே ஓகே
பொண்டாட்டிங்க ரெண்டு
ஏன் நீ கூறு
Yeah, having two hands and legs is necessary!
But having two wives is sheer trouble!
Having two houses is okay, okay!
Why speak of having two wives?
ஆசை மீறுனா
அளவே இல்லயே எதுக்கு
போடுற வேலி வேலி
பாம்பு வேணுமா ஏணி
வேணுமா குலுக்கி போடவா
சோலி சோலி
When desire overflows, there are no limits!
Why erect a fence, a fence?
Do you want a snake or do you want a ladder?
Shall I shake and roll the dice?
லட்டு லட்டு
ரெண்டு லட்டு சேர்ந்து
கெடச்சாலே லக்கே

பகலே இல்லையின்னா
வந்திடுமா நைட்டு கவல
வேணாமுன்னா வச்சுகனும்
சைட்டு தவறே இல்லயின்னா
ஒன்னும் இல்ல ரைட்டு ஜெயிக்க
வேணுமுன்னா போடனுமே பைட்டு
If there is no day, night will arrive!
If you don't want worries, keep looking around!
If there is no mistake, everything is right!
If you want to win, you have to fight!
சூரியன போல
நான் ஒத்த ஆளு
வெண்ணிலவு ரெண்டுனா
ஆகாதே தாமரைக்கு தண்ணி
தான் கூடு கூடு தண்ணி வத்தி
போச்சுனா தாங்காதே
I am a single man, unique like the sun!
Having two moons just will not work!
Water is the true companion for the lotus!
If the water dries up, it cannot survive!
எதையும் தாங்குவேன்
என்ன ஏத்துக்கோ பூட்டுக்காகவே
சாவி சாவி கூர பாயவ இலவ
பஞ்சுனு இழுக்க பாக்குறா
கூவி கூவி
I can bear anything, just accept me!
A key is made specifically for the lock!
Treating a coarse straw mat like soft cotton,
Calling out loudly while trying to pull it!
லட்டு லட்டு

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Laddu Laddu' is a playful, high-energy duet featuring humorous romantic banter and philosophical comparisons about choices in love and life. The metaphor of 'two laddus' (double sweets) represents having two attractive choices or romantic partners, symbolizing luck and indulgence. The male and female characters debate the practicality and morality of double choices through witty analogies, referencing Hindu mythology (Lord Murugan's two wives), everyday foods, and life situations. While the male protagonist lightheartedly argues in favor of enjoying life's double blessings without restrictions, the female character counter-argues with common sense, noting that while having two hands or two houses is fine, having two wives or double commitments leads to chaos. Ultimately, the track celebrates fun, attraction, and the unpredictable game of romance.
