Madhura jilla machan thaandi
En jadhagathil guru uchanthaandi
Pattukotta chitu naan thaan
En pakkam vantha unna vettuvenda
Thoppul enna katti vecha theppakolama
Naan thoothikolla ingirunthu kappal varuma
Olaraatha olaraatha otha vaangi azhapora
Bhoom bhoom bhoom maatukaaran
Nee umm sonna vuttukaaran
Poochaandi kaataathada
Un pondati naan illada aa ho ho oo
Madhura jilla machan thaandi
En jadhagathil guru uchanthaandi
Pattukotta chitu naan thaan
En pakkam vantha unna vettuvenda
Parachutil yeri vanthu
Paapendi nee veetil kulicha
Paakum rendu kannum kaali
Nee sonna vaartha thaan palicha
Kooraya pirichi kudhipendi
Onna elumicham polae uripendi
Kai kaala serthu muripenda
Sangu kadan vaangiyachum adipenda
Moodi thaan vaikaadhadi
En mooda thaan kollaathadi
Kovatha kelaraathada
Enna kolakaari akkaathada
Madhura jilla machan thaandi
En jadhagathil guru uchanthaandi
Pattukotta chitu naan thaan
En pakkam vantha unna vettuvenda

Gaaliyana kazhuthoda vaa
Thaaliyoda naanum varuven

Vaayaala summa pasapatha
En vayasathan vediyaaki koluthadha
Naan thaandi velakaran
Onna alungaama aalaporen

Irura pinnadi motham thaaren
Madhura jilla machan thaandi

He is a guy from Madurai district!
Jupiter is at its peak in my horoscope!
I am the songbird from Pattukkottai!
If you come near me, I will cut you down!
Is my navel a temple tank built for display?
Will a ship come from here for me to go to Tuticorin?
Don't blabber, don't blabber, you will get slapped and cry!
I am the fortune-teller with the bull!
If you say yes, I am your husband!
Don't try to scare me like a bogeyman!
I am not your wife, hey ho ho oo!
He is a guy from Madurai district!
Jupiter is at its peak in my horoscope!
I am the songbird from Pattukkottai!
If you come near me, I will cut you down!
I will come riding in a parachute,
And watch when you take a bath at home!
Both eyes that watch will go blind,
If the words you said actually come true!
I will tear open the roof and jump inside!
I will peel you like a lemon!
I will snap your hands and legs together!
I will borrow a funeral conch and sound it for you!
Don't keep yourself covered up!
Don't kill my mood!
Don't provoke my anger!
Don't turn me into a murderer!
He is a guy from Madurai district!
Jupiter is at its peak in my horoscope!
I am the songbird from Pattukkottai!
If you come near me, I will cut you down!
…………………………………………
Come with an empty neck,
And I will come with the sacred mangalsutra thread!
Once the wedding thread arrives, there are no boundaries,
I will give myself to you generously!
A body sculpted as if by hand,
I will hold you tight with both hands like a monitor lizard!
Don't just sweet-talk me with your mouth,
Don't ignite my youth like an explosive!
I am your dedicated servant,
I am going to rule over you gently!
I will give you a kiss now,
Wait, I will give you everything later!
He is a guy from Madurai district!
Jupiter is at its peak in my horoscope!
I am the songbird from Pattukkottai!
If you come near me, I will cut you down!
Is my navel a temple tank built for display?
Will a ship come from here for me to go to Tuticorin?
Don't blabber, don't blabber, you will get slapped and cry!
I am the fortune-teller with the bull!
If you say yes, I am your husband!
Don't try to scare me like a bogeyman!
I am not your wife!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic duet ('Madhura Jilla') features a humorous, lighthearted banter between a passionate hero and a fiery heroine. The female lead asserts her independence, local pride, and stern warning against unwanted advances using feisty, colloquial metaphors. In response, the male lead cheekily woos her with grand promises of marriage, affection, and persistence. The overall theme is a playful folk-style duel of wits where love is expressed through teasing aggression and romantic banter.
