As soon as I was born,
good fortune arrived at my home.
Male: Aha!
Female: Just walking through the market,
flowers showered down upon me.
Male: Oho!
People were begging desperately
just to catch a glimpse of me.
Male: Oh wow!
Female: Pulling up in Benz cars,
they handed me blank cheques
and drove away!
Male: What?!
I don't need money or a car,
I don't want property or wealth.
So what on earth do you actually want?
How can I tell you?
I have turned seventeen,
but I still haven't found
a guy who is the right match for me!
How can I tell you?
I have turned seventeen,
but I still haven't found
a guy who is the right match for me!
When I close my eyes, I can't sleep,
and when sleep comes, longing keeps troubling me.
There's no one to hold me close,
no one to sweet-talk and cuddle with me.
That's all fine,
but what kind of guy do you really want?
Like a bull, like an untamed bull,
searching for a guy as fiery as a wild bull,
I keep looking and looking,
but I just can't find him!
I am still searching,
in my sleepless nights and deep longings!
Oh dear, finding a man that matches her
is going to be so hard, my friend!
Come to me on Sunday, girl,
and I will give you a glass lamp, girl!
Come to me on Monday, girl,
and I will give you a silk saree, girl!
Come to me on Tuesday, girl,
and I will give you silver anklets, girl!
Come to me on Wednesday, girl,
and I will give you golden anklets, girl!
Hey, come to me on Thursday, girl,
and I will put diamond bangles on you, girl!
Come to me on Friday, girl,
and I will give you jhumkas (hanging earrings) for your ears, girl!
Come to me on Saturday, girl,
and I will take you to the movies, girl!
If he just touches me...
Male: Aha, if he touches you...
Female: If he just touches me...
Male: Oh dear, if he touches you...
Female: If he touches me, all my shyness
will just run away!
If he just looks at me, inside my heart
the thirst will only grow!
On Sunday, he must come,
and look after me like a queen!
On Monday, he must come,
and cozy up in the folds of my saree!
On Tuesday, he must come,
and stay intimately close to me!
On Wednesday, he must come,
and pinch my cheeks playfully!
On Thursday, he must come,
and hold me close to his chest!
On Friday, he must come,
and sweep me off my feet with sweet words!
On Saturday, he must come,
Male: Yeah, that's all fine,
On Saturday, he must come,
and completely steal my heart away!
If he comes and stands before me,
Male: Yeah, if he comes and stands...
Female: If he comes and stands before me,
my heart will leap with joy!
To embrace all of my beauty,
my heart is pounding with excitement!
If he comes and stands before me,
my heart will leap with joy!
To embrace all of my beauty,
my heart is pounding with excitement!
Like a bull,
like an untamed bull,
searching for a guy as fiery as a wild bull,
I keep looking and looking,
but I just can't find him!
I am still searching,
in my sleepless nights and deep longings!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

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.
