Alright, alright, alright
காயும் கனிந்தது வளர்ச்சியாலே
உண்மை காதல் மலர்ந்தது அன்பினாலே
அதனாலே
The unripe fruit has ripened through growth
Oh... oh... oh...
True love has blossomed through affection.. oh...
Therefore
நான் ஒரு ரகசியம் சொல்லவா
இப்ப நான் ஒரு ரகசியம் சொல்லவா
அதுதான் ஒரு அதிசயம் அல்லவா
இன்பமாகவே அன்பு மீறவே என்றும் வாழவே
இப்ப நான் ஒரு ரகசியம் சொல்லவா
அதுதான் ஒரு அதிசயம் அல்லவா
Shall I tell you a secret?
Now, shall I tell you a secret?
Isn't that indeed a wonder?
Joyfully, with love overflowing
To live forever
Now, shall I tell you a secret?
Isn't that indeed a wonder?
மாப்பிள்ளை நானே மறவேன் என்றான்..
ஓஓஒ..
மனமே துணிந்து வந்தான்
மாப்பிள்ளை நானே மறவேன் என்றான்..
மனமே துணிந்து வந்தான்
கையை நீட்டவே சொன்னான்
வளையல் செட்டியுமல்ல
கண்ணைக் காட்டவே சொன்னான்
ஆனா நட்டுவனல்ல
இன்பமாகவே அன்பு மீறவே என்றும் வாழவே
இப்ப நான் ஒரு ரகசியம் சொல்லவா
அதுதான் ஒரு அதிசயம் அல்லவா
He said, 'I am the bridegroom, I won't forget'
Ooh ooh ooh
He came forward with a brave heart
He said, 'I am the bridegroom, I won't forget'
He came forward with a brave heart
He asked me to extend my hand, though he is not a bangle seller
He asked me to show my eyes, though he is not a dance master
Joyfully, with love overflowing, to live forever
Now, shall I tell you a secret?
Isn't that indeed a wonder?
சரசமாகவே மாமன் மகன் போல்
சகஜமாகவே வருவான் அவன்
சரசமாகவே மாமன் மகன் போல்
சகஜமாகவே வருவான்
பரமசாது என்னைப் பார்த்தால் போதும்
பரிசு வழக்கம் போல் தருவான்
தினம் சிரித்துப் பேசி வலை வீசி
வந்த திருடன் யார் தெரியுமா
இன்பமாகவே அன்பு மீறவே என்றும் வாழவே
இப்ப நான் ஒரு ரகசியம் சொல்லவா
அதுதான் ஒரு அதிசயம் அல்லவா
Playfully, like a maternal uncle's son
He would drop by naturally
Playfully, like a maternal uncle's son
He would drop by naturally
He is extremely gentle; it is enough if he just looks at me
He will give a gift as usual
Every day speaking with a smile and casting a net
Do you know who the thief that came was?
Joyfully, with love overflowing, to live forever
Now, shall I tell you a secret?
Isn't that indeed a wonder?
அந்தரங்க காதலினாலே அந்த நாளே
எந்தன் ஆருயிர் டாக்டர் என் மேலே
ஆசை வைத்தார் தன்னாலே அன்பு கொண்டேன்
முன்னாலே வெற்றி கண்டேன் இந்நாளே
ஒரு மனதாக இருவரும் மகிழ்ந்திட
நாளும் கிட்டவே தாலி கட்டவே மேளம் கொட்டவே
மனம் போலவே மாங்கல்யம் நிஜமே
இந்த மாதம் கல்யாணம் நிச்சயமே
என் மனம் போலவே....
Because of secret love back in those days
My beloved doctor took a liking
To me automatically
I fell in love back then, and found success today
For both of us to rejoice with one heart
As the auspicious day arrives to tie the sacred thread while drums beat
A marriage matching the heart's desire is true
Marriage is certain this month
Just as my heart wished
இன்பமாகவே அன்பு மீறவே என்றும் வாழவே
இப்ப நான் ஒரு ரகசியம் சொல்லவா
அதுதான் ஒரு அதிசயம் அல்லவா
இன்பமாகவே அன்பு மீறவே என்றும் வாழவே
இப்ப நான் ஒரு ரகசியம் சொல்லவா
அதுதான் ஒரு அதிசயம் அல்லவா.....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful and joyful Tamil song from the 1952 movie Maappillai expresses a woman's excitement as she prepares to share a secret—that her love story with her partner, a doctor, is culminating in marriage. She humorously recalls how he courted her, comparing his playful gestures to a bangle seller checking hands or a dance master inspecting expressions, and calling him a gentle thief who stole her heart with smiles. The lyricist highlights her happiness at finding true love that matured over time. With wedding drums about to play and the sacred thread ready to be tied, she celebrates that her heart's fondest wish is coming true this very month.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Iyaippu (End Rhyme)
“Ippa naan oru ragasiyam sollavaa / Adhu thaan oru adhisiyam allavaa”
The lines end with matching rhyming suffixes ('sollavaa' and 'allavaa'), creating a catchy, melodic cadence.
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Dhinam sirithu pesi valai veesi / Vandha thirudan yaar theriyuma”
The lover is poetically called a thief who cast a net made of smiles and words to capture her heart.
Monaai (Initial Alliteration)
“Sarasamaagavae maaman magan pol / Sagajamaagavae varuvaan”
Repetition of the 'Sa' consonant sound at the start of adjacent lines creates rhythmic balance.
