ஒன்னுக்கு ரெண்டா அத்தை பொண்ணு
கண்ணுக்கு முன்னால வந்து நின்னு
பாவம் இந்த பச்சை மண்ணு
எதைதான் ஓகே பண்ணனும்
Instead of one, there are two maternal aunt's daughters
Standing right in front of my eyes
Pity this innocent soul
Wondering which one to choose
சும்மா பொலம்பி கெடக்குது
பொலம்பி தவிக்குது
பொரண்டு படுகுது
மொரண்டு புடிக்குது
லக் அடிசிடுசுன்னு
உள்ளுக்குள்ள சிரிக்குது
நல்ல பையன போல
வெளியில நடிக்குது....ஊ....ஊ.....ஊ.....
It's just rambling endlessly
Rambling and agonizing
Tossing and turning in bed
Stubbornly holding on
Thinking luck has struck
It's laughing quietly inside
Like a good, innocent boy
It pretends on the outside...

Hey, I am a foreign return
In front of you

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful track from 'Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven' revolves around a young man who returns from abroad ('foreign return') only to find himself completely enamored by his traditional cross-cousins (aththai ponnu / maaman ponnu). The lyrics humorously contrast modern fast-paced lifestyle expectations with traditional Tamil family bonds, expressing his delight at finding modern sensibilities inside a traditional saree-clad girl.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Simile (Uwamai)
“Kannadi pola norunguran di”
Compares his ego/composure shattering in front of his beloved to fragile glass.
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Intha perungaaya dappaala Thanga bashpamaa”
Uses the metaphor of discovering 'thanga bashpam' (precious gold ash) inside an ordinary 'perungaya dappa' (asafoetida box) to symbolize finding unexpected brilliance in a simple person.
Second-Letter Rhyme (Ethukai)
“Onnukku rendaa aththai ponnu / Kannukku munnaala vanthu ninnu”
Demonstrates classical Tamil rhyming structure across line beginnings (Onnukku / Kannukku).
