நான் பொறந்ததுமே
என் வீட்டுக்கு நல்ல நேரம் வந்தாச்சு
ஆஹா ..
நா மார்கெட்டுல நடந்தா
என் மேல பூ விழுந்திடிச்சு
ஓஹோ ...
As soon as I was born
Good times arrived for my home
Male :Aahaaa
Female :When I walked in the market
Flowers fell upon me
Male :Ohoooo
என்ன பாக்க ஆளெல்லாம்
கேட்டுத்தான் பாத்தாங்க
அடடா ...
அந்த பென்ஸ் கார்ல பிளாங்க் செக்
எல்லாம் தந்து போனாங்க
என்னது ..
Everyone who looked at me
Looked at me with desire
Male :Oh my!
Female :In that Benz car
Blank cheques and all
They gave and went away
Male :What?
பணமோ காரோ தேவை இல்ல
சொத்து பத்து எதுவும் வேணாம்
Money or car is not needed
Wealth or property, nothing is needed
அட என்னதான் வேணும் உனக்கு
Hey, then what do you really want?
என்னான்னு சொல்லய்யா
வயசு வந்தாச்சு பதினேழு
இன்னும் மாட்டவில்ல
எனக்கு ஃபிட் ஆனா ஆள் ஏதும்
What can I say, sir
I turned seventeen
Yet I haven't caught
Anyone who is a fit match for me
என்னான்னு சொல்லய்யா
வயசு வந்தாச்சு பதினேழு
இன்னும் மாட்டவில்ல
எனக்கு ஃபிட் ஆனா ஆள் ஏதும்
What can I say, sir
I turned seventeen
Yet I haven't caught
Anyone who is a fit match for me
கண்ணு மூட தூக்கமில்ல
தூக்கம் வந்தா ஏக்கம் தொல்ல
தொட்டு தூக்க ஆளுமில்ல
கொஞ்சி பேச யாருமில்ல
No sleep when I close my eyes
If sleep comes, longing troubles me
No one to touch and lift me up
No one to talk affectionately
அதெல்லாம் செரி
எப்டி ஆள் தான் வேணும் உனக்கு
All that is fine
What kind of guy do you want?
காள போல அடங்கா காள போல
திமிரும் காள போல ஆள தேடி
நானும்தானே தேடி பாக்குறேன்
அட மாட்டலையே
நானும் இன்னும் தேடி பாக்குறேன்
Like a bull, an untamed bull
Looking for a man who is fierce like a proud bull
I too am searching for him
Oh, I haven't found him yet
I am still searching
தூக்கத்துல ஏக்கத்துல பக்கத்துலதான்
நானும் கேக்குறேன்
என் லெப்டு ரைட்டு தாங்கிகிடும் ஆளு வேணுமே
என் அழக எல்லாம் மொத்தமாக பாத்துக்கணுமே
In sleep and in longing
அய்யோ இவளுக்கு ஏத்த ஆள் எல்லாம்

Oh, a suitable guy for her

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful, high-energy folk-pop song portrays a young woman reflecting on her charm, beauty, and youth as she turns seventeen. Despite receiving lavish offers of luxury cars, money, and blank cheques from admirers, she rejects material wealth and expresses her longing for true romantic affection. She envisions her ideal partner as a wild, untamed bull—strong, confident, and passionate. The lyricism incorporates a playful day-by-day week structure (from Sunday to Saturday) where the male voice offers traditional gifts for each day, while the female voice counters with her passionate expectations of how her lover should treat her each day of the week. Ultimately, the song captures playful romantic teasing, youthful yearning, and female agency in choosing love over material riches.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Simile (Upamai)
“Kaala pola adangaa kaala pola”
Compares the desired lover to an untamed, fiery bull ('Kaala pola adangaa kaala pola') to emphasize strength, wild passion, and vitality.
Anaphora (Repetition for emphasis)
“Ngnyatru kizhama neeyum vaadiyamma”
Sequential lines start with days of the week ('Ngnyatru kizhama', 'Thingakizhama', 'Sevvakizhama', etc.) creating a structured rhythmic cadence.
Iyaibu (Rhyme)
“Unakku pattu sela thaaren amma”
End-rhyming with 'thaaren amma' across multiple lines produces a repetitive, catchy folk chant melody.
Did you know?
Trivia
This track features playful duet banter that mimics classic Tamil rural folk folk duet structures ('Kattam' style songs), where days of the week are sequentially listed to express romantic promises.
