பார்ப்பதா பழைய சுகம் கேட்பதா
பார்ப்பதா பழைய சுகம் கேட்பதா
கேட்டபின் இதழிரெண்டும் சேர்ப்பதா
கேட்டபின் இதழிரெண்டும் சேர்ப்பதா
மேனியிது ஏங்கியது ஒரு காலம்
போனவனை தேடியதொரு காலம்
மேடையிதில் ஆடுது நிகழ்காலம்
நாளை உலகம் மஜா.....மஜா...மஜா.....
முனங்கல் ....
நினைத்தபடி கிடைத்ததடி
வராதவன் வந்து விட்டான்

என்னடி உறவில் இவன் மன்னனோ
சொல்லடி சுவையில் இவன் கண்ணனோ
கண்களில் சிறையெடுத்து கொள்ளவோ
கன்னியென் இடை கொடுத்து பின்னவோ
ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ ....
கண்களில் சிறையெடுத்து கொள்ளவோ
கன்னியென் இடை கொடுத்து பின்னவோ
ஆனவரை ஆகட்டும் அணை போடு
வானிலவு பார்க்கட்டும் விளையாடு
ஓரிரவு போகட்டும் சுவையோடு
நாளை உலகம் மஜா.....மஜா...மஜா.....
முனங்கல் ....
நினைத்தபடி கிடைத்ததடி
வராதவன் வந்து விட்டான்...
நினைத்தபடி கிடைத்ததடி
வராதவன் வந்து விட்டான்...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Ninaithapadi Kidaithathadi' is a vibrant, flirtatious, and joyous dance number from the 1969 film Thirudan. The female protagonist exuberantly celebrates the return of her beloved, reflecting on past longing while joyously casting away former grievances. She embraces the present with passion, excitement, and playful energy. Kannadasan's lyrics playfully blend sensuality and carefree joy, describing her desire to captivate her lover in her eyes and entwine with him in an embrace under the watching moon. Delivered with magnetic flair by L. R. Eswari and composed energetically by M. S. Vishwanathan, the song celebrates living in the moment and looking forward to a bright, fun-filled future ('majā').
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Maeniyidhu yenghiyadhu oru kaalam / Ponavanai thediyathoru kaalam / Maedaiyidhil aadudhu nigazhkaalam”
The repetitive ending with 'kaalam' (time) across consecutive lines creates a rhythmic temporal continuum contrast (past longing vs. present dance).
Ethugai (Second Letter Rhyming)
“Kangalil siraiyeduthu kollavoo / Kanniyen idai koduthu pinnavoo”
The second consonant sound 'ng' in 'Kangalil' and 'nn' in 'Kanniyen' forms a harmonious Tamil second-letter rhyming pattern.
Metaphor / Cultural Allusion
“Solladi suvaiyil ivan kannanoo”
Compares the lover's charm and romantic sweetness to Lord Krishna ('Kannan'), the traditional symbol of divine playfulness and romance in Tamil poetry.
Metaphor
“Kangalil siraiyeduthu kollavoo”
Imprisoning someone within one's eyes is a poetic metaphor for holding a lover captive in one's heart and sight.

Trivia
The film Thirudan (1969) stars Sivaji Ganesan and K. R. Vijaya, directed by A. C. Tirulokchandar. The usage of the word 'Majaa' in Kannadasan's lyrics is a notable example of modern urban colloquial slang being integrated into popular 1960s Tamil film music. Playback singer L. R. Eswari was renowned for her dynamic vocal delivery on such glamorously choreographed dance songs, and M. S. Vishwanathan tailored the upbeat arrangement specifically to match her expressive voice.
