Asking what you need
Ada unnaiyum kumaaranaa aakkuraen
Hey, I will transform you into a young prince too
Intha uththamiya jodi seakkuraen
I will pair you with this noble woman
Unnaiyum kumaaranaa aakkuraen
I will transform you into a young prince too
Intha uththamiya jodi seakkuraen

Thaadiya pichchi erinjittaa
If you pluck out your beard
Meesaithaan karupaagum saayamittaa…
The mustache will turn black if you dye it...
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from the 1948 epic drama 'Abhimanyu' serves as a lively, theatrical marketplace street-vendor song. The characters invite people from all walks of life—brothers, elders, and young grooms—to witness magical, wondrous goods sold without requiring actual money. The vendor boasts fantastical items such as vessels that cook without stoves, silk garments woven without thread, and magical spells or medicines capable of turning old women into beautiful celestial maidens like Menaka.
