ஆறு வயசு பொண்ணு தந்தா
ரெட்ட முத்தம்
பதினாரு வயசு பொண்ணு தந்தா
ஆச முத்தம்
When a six-year-old girl gives one,
It is a double kiss
When a sixteen-year-old girl gives one,
It is a passionate kiss
எட்டு வயசு பையன் தந்தா
பாச முத்தம்
பதினெட்டு வயசு பையன் தந்தா
பறக்கும் முத்தம்
When an eight-year-old boy gives one,
It is an affectionate kiss
When an eighteen-year-old boy gives one,
It is a soaring kiss
கன்னத்திலே முத்தம் இட்டால்
இதயத்தை குத்துதே
உதட்டோடு முத்தம் இட்டு
காதலிலே யுத்தம் செய்
If a kiss is given on the cheek,
It pierces the heart
Kiss on the lips
And wage a war in love

அப்பார்ட்மென்டில் கொடுக்குராங்க
திருட்டு முத்தம்
சிலர் எதிர் வீட்டுக்கு ஆனுபுவாங்க
பறக்கும் முத்தம்
In apartments they give
A stolen kiss
Some people send to the opposite house
A flying kiss
மொட்ட மாடியில் சத்தம் வந்தா
காதல் முத்தம்
சிலர் அவசரத்தில் கொடுப்பாங்க
முறட்டு முத்தம்
If sound comes from the terrace,
It is a romantic kiss
Some people give in a hurry
A rough kiss
பூக்களெல்லாம் முத்தமிட்டா
சத்தம் ஏதும் கேட்குமா
ஹே சத்தமின்றி கொடுப்பதெல்லாம்
முத்தம் கித்தம் ஆகுமா
If flowers kiss each other,
Will any sound be heard?
Hey.. can whatever given without sound
Be called a kiss at all?
முடிந்த வரை முத்தங்கலை
செலவு செய்யடா
செலவு தானே என்று எண்ணி
சேமிக்காதேடா
Spend kisses as much as you can,
Go ahead and spend, man
Do not think it is an expense
And hoard it up, man

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Mutham Mutham from the 2003 Tamil film Thiruda Thirudi is an energetic and lighthearted song entirely dedicated to celebrating the concept, emotions, and varieties of kisses. Lyricist Pa. Vijay humorously categorizes kisses depending on who gives them—ranging from the innocent affection of young children to the intense passion of teenagers and young adults. The track playfully details secret apartment kisses, flying kisses, terrace romance, and rough quick kisses. The overall message encourages expressing love freely and generously rather than withholding affection, treating kisses as something to be spent abundantly rather than saved up.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Adukkuthodar (Repetition / Anaphora)
“Mutham mutham”
The word 'Mutham' (kiss) is repeated sequentially to build rhythmic enthusiasm and emphasize the core theme of the song.
Edhugai (Second-letter Rhyme)
“Aaru vayasu ponnu thandha ... Padhinaaru vayasu ponnu thandha”
Matching second consonants across lines ('Aaru' / 'Padhinaaru', 'Ettu' / 'Pathinettu') creates balanced poetic cadence.
Rhetorical Question & Metaphor
“Pookalellaam muthamitta Satham yethum ketkumaa”
Comparing silent floral kisses to human kisses as a poetic inquiry into whether expression requires auditory presence.

Trivia
Thiruda Thirudi (2003) featured a hit soundtrack composed by Dhina. Although the song 'Mutham Mutham' gained popularity for its catchy beat and vocal performance by Tippu and Anuradha Sriram, the album is most famous for the dance phenomenon 'Manmatha Raasa', which became one of Dhanush's iconic early career dance numbers.
