ஹான் ஹான்
ஹான் வேணாம் போ
Haan haan
Male: Ah, no, go away
நாளும் ரொம்ப ஆச்சு
ஆசை ரொம்பி போச்சு
பிள்ள ரெண்டு பெத்தா என்ன
மோகம் தீராது
மாமோய் இன்னும் தள்ளி
நீயிருந்தால் வேகம் வாராது
Many days have passed
Desire has overflowed
So what if we had two children?
Infatuation never ends
My beloved, if you stay further away
If you stay away, passion won't come
ஆனதெல்லாம் ஆச்சு
ஆசை வெம்பி போச்சு
பட்டணத்து நாகரீகம் தெரியவில்லை
உன்ன கட்டிக்கிட்டு கண்ட சுகம்
எதுவும் இல்லை அம்மோய்......
Whatever happened, happened
Desire has over-matured and spoiled
You don't know modern city culture
The happiness found by marrying you
Is nothing at all, my dear...
ஒலகம் தெரியாம மாட்டிக்கிட்டேன்
பொஞ்சாதியா உன்ன ஏத்துக்கிட்டேன்
ஆஞ்சிநேயா
ஊர்வசியாட்டம் நடக்கத் தெரியல
உனக்கு ரேவதியாட்டம் சிரிக்க தெரியல்ல
Without knowing the world, I got trapped
I accepted you as my wife
Oh Lord Hanuman!
You don't know how to walk stylishly like Urvashi
You don't know how to smile gracefully like Revathi
பிந்துகோஷா வந்து நின்னா
அடியே என்ன செய்வேன்டி
பிந்துகோஷா வந்து நின்னா
அடியே என்ன செய்வேன்டி
நமக்கு புள்ள ரெண்டு
போதுமுன்னா ஆள விடேன்டி.....
If someone like Bindu Ghosh comes and stands before me
Hey girl, what will you do?
If someone like Bindu Ghosh comes and stands before me
Hey girl, what will you do?
Having two kids is enough for us
If that's enough, spare me, woman!
நாளும் ரொம்ப ஆச்சு
ஆசை ரொம்பி போச்சு
பிள்ள ரெண்டு பெத்தா என்ன
மோகம் தீராது
மாமோய் இன்னும் தள்ளி
நீயிருந்தால் வேகம் வாராது
Many days have passed
Desire has overflowed
So what if we had two children?
Infatuation never ends
My beloved, if you stay further away
If you stay away, passion won't come
சினிமா மோகத்துல மெல்ல மொறைக்கிறே
சில்லற சபலத்துல என்ன வெறுக்கிறே மாமோய்
திரையில சிரிக்கிறவ துணை வருவாளா
திண்டாடும் போது அவ சொகம் தருவாளா
Caught in cinema craze, you stare at me slowly
Due to petty temptations, you despise me, my man
Will the woman smiling on screen come as your life partner?
When you suffer in trouble, will she comfort you?
வந்து போகும் சொந்தமில்ல
அவதான் கட்டுன பொஞ்சாதி
வந்து போகும் சொந்தமில்ல
அவதான் கட்டுன பொஞ்சாதி இத
எப்பத்தான் புரிஞ்சுக்குமோ ஆம்பள ஜாதி
A wife is not a temporary relative who comes and goes
She alone is the wedded wife for life
A wife is not a temporary relative who comes and goes
She alone is the wedded wife for life
When will men ever understand this basic truth?
ஆனதெல்லாம் ஆச்சு
ஆசை வெம்பி போச்சு
பட்டணத்து நாகரீகம் தெரியவில்லை
உன்ன கட்டிக்கிட்டு கண்ட சுகம்
எதுவும் இல்லை
Whatever happened, happened
Desire has over-matured and spoiled
You don't know modern city culture
The happiness found by marrying you
Is nothing at all
{நாளும் ரொம்ப ஆச்சு
ஆசை ரொம்பி போச்சு
பிள்ள ரெண்டு பெத்தா என்ன
மோகம் தீராது
மாமோய் இன்னும் தள்ளி
நீயிருந்தால் வேகம் வாராது} (2)

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a lighthearted and humorous marital debate between a husband and his wife. The husband complains that his wife lacks modern city charm and the glamour of cinema actresses like Urvashi, Revathi, or Bindu Ghosh, feeling that domestic life has become mundane despite having two children.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Pop Culture Allusion (Simile)
“Oorvasiyaattam nadakka theriyala / Unakku revathiyaattam sirikka theriyalla”
The husband compares ideal feminine charm to popular 1980s actresses (Oorvasi, Revathi, Bindu Ghosh) to express his cinema-induced fantasies.
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Binthukoshaa vanthu ninnaa / Adiyae enna seivendi”
The rhyming of line endings such as 'theriyala' and 'theriyalla', or 'seivendi' and 'vidaendi', creates a rhythmic conversational banter.
Rhetorical Question
“Thiraiyila sirikkirava thunai varuvaalaa / Thindaadum pothu ava sugam tharuvaalaa”
The wife uses rhetorical questions to challenge her husband's superficial attachment to cinema reel life versus real life.

Trivia
The lyrics explicitly reference iconic 1980s South Indian film stars including Urvashi, Revathi, and Bindu Ghosh, reflecting the deep impact of 1980s Tamil cinema culture on everyday domestic arguments and pop media.
