யா.......
ஆஆ........ ஹ்ம்ம்
Yaaaa....aaaaa......hmmm...
நான் இப்போ ஊரை
சுற்றும் காற்று ஒரு சைக்கிள்
டியூப்பில் நானாக மாட்டி கொள்ள
மாட்டேன் கல்யாணம் பண்ணி
கொள்ள மாட்டேன் என் தோளின்
மேலே கல்லை நான்
கட்டிக்கொள்ள மாட்டேன்
I am now the wind roaming around the town
Inside a bicycle tube
I will not get trapped on my own
I will not get married
Upon my shoulder
I will not tie a heavy stone
கல்யாணமே பொய்
என்பது பொய் வாழ்வின்
பொய்யடா கல்யாணத்தால்
உன் வாழ்க்கையை தூய்மை
செய்யடா
Saying marriage itself is a lie
Is a lie in a false life, my friend...
Through marriage, your life
Purify it, my friend
நான் இப்போ ஊரை
சுற்றும் காற்று ஒரு சைக்கிள்
டியூப்பில் நானாக மாட்டி
கொள்ள மாட்டேன் கல்யாணம்
பண்ணி கொள்ள மாட்டேன் என்
தோளின் மேலே கல்லை நான்
கட்டிக்கொள்ள மாட்டேன்
I am now the wind roaming around the town
Inside a bicycle tube
I will not get trapped on my own
I will not get married
Upon my shoulder
I will not tie a heavy stone
ஓ ஓ
Ohh..ohh...
பூக்கள் வேண்டும்
என்பதால் நீ காற்றை வாங்க
வேண்டுமா சிற்றின்பம் கருதி
ஜென்மம் தொலைவதா சொல்
Just because you want flowers
Do you need to buy the whole wind?
For the sake of short-lived pleasure
Is it right to lose your whole life, tell me?
பூவை கட்டி கொள்வதால்
சிற்றின்பம் மட்டும் இல்லையே
பேர் இன்பம் காட்டும் பிள்ளை
உண்டடா நில்
By marrying a woman (tying the flower)
It is not just small pleasure
It shows supreme bliss
A child comes from it, wait!
பிரம்மச்சாரி சுதந்திரவாதி
சம்சாரத்தில் ஆயுள்கைதி நான்
என்ன சின்ன பையனா பெண்
சேலையை தொவைக்கின்ற
வாஷிங் மெஷின் ஆ
A bachelor
Is an independent free-thinker
In family life, a prisoner for life
Am I a small boy?
Washing a woman's saree
Am I a washing machine?
கல்யாணமே இல்லாதவன்
தனிமையில் தேய்கிறான் பொன்
சேர்த்ததும் பெண் பார்ப்பவன்
வாழ்க்கையில் ஜெய்கிறான்
One without marriage
Wears away in loneliness
One who looks for a bride after earning wealth
Wins in life
பிரம்மச்சாரி வாழ்க்கையில்
அட நித்தம் நித்தம் சண்டே தான்
ஒரு தாலி தந்தாள் நித்தம்
சண்டை தானே
In a bachelor's life
Hey, every single day is a Sunday!
If you tie a mangalsutra
Every day is a fight!
நாவை சுடுவது
என்பதால் நீ பைத்தியம்
கொள்வது வம்பு தான்
அட சண்டை கூட அன்பின்
அம்சம் தானே
Just because it burns your tongue
Going on a strict bland diet
Is foolishness
Hey, even fights
Are a dimension of love
பெண்கள் மேலே
நம்பிக்கை உண்டு கல்யாணத்தில்
நம்பிக்கை இல்லை உணர்ச்சிக்கு
உடன்பட டா கல்யாணம் அறிவுக்கு
முரண் பாட டா
In women
I have trust
In marriage
I have no trust
Yield to your feelings, friend
Marriage is to intellect
A contradiction, friend!

Get married, friend
To make the world believe who you are
Win over womanhood, friend

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from the movie Doubles (2000) depicts a humorous and energetic debate between two friends on the merits of staying single versus getting married. One character fiercely defends bachelorhood, viewing marriage as a trap that reduces a free-spirited individual to a life sentence of domestic chores and daily arguments. He compares his single life to roaming freely like the wind and enjoying every day as if it were Sunday. On the other hand, his friend counters by arguing that marriage brings true purpose, profound joy, emotional fulfillment, and the continuation of life through children. He dismisses minor marital spats as mere expressions of love. The song captures a lighthearted philosophical clash between absolute independence and domestic companionship.
