Hey girl... Ammulu...
Your inner privacy is about to be premiered.
Here is a poetry symposium for your love.

காதலின் செய்திகள் கண்களில் உள்ளது
அதை நான் படிக்க மொழி கிடையாது
காதலே நம்மிடம் கையொப்பம் கேட்டது
இனிமேல் உலகில் தடை கிடையாது
The news of love is in the eyes,
there is no language for me to read it.
Female: Love itself asked for our signature,
henceforth there are no obstacles in the world.
நாணம் கொண்டதே என் பூவனம்
பெண்மை ஒன்றுதான் என் சீதனம்

My garden of flowers felt shy,
Female: My womanhood alone is my dowry.
Male: Oh my!
Female: Aaa....aa.....aaa....aa....
Male: Oh my, this is what embrace is!

கண்களில் காதலின்
முன்னோட்டம் பார்த்தபின்

In the eyes, of love
after watching the preview,
I heard an echo throughout my entire heart.

In the evening, in the grove,
at the time of the gentle breeze,
I asked you 'Shall we see and learn?'
கண்மணிப் பூங்காவில் காத்திருந்தேன்
கண்ணே தடங்கலுக்கு வருத்தம் சொன்னேன்
விழியில்
ஆஅ.....ஆ.....ஆஅ....ஆ.....
விழியில் ஒளியும் ஒலியும் கண்டேன்

The female protagonist expresses her complete surrender and dedication, viewing her womanhood as her ultimate offering to their union.

Cultural Symbolism (Theroattam)
“Indru en kaadhal thaerukku vadam pidiththaai”
Pulling the temple chariot rope ('vadam pidiththaai') symbolizes taking responsibility for driving forward the chariot of love and life.
Emona / Rhyme (Monai and Ethirai)
