ஊருக்கு தெரிஞ்சாச்சு
நம்ம கத யாருக்கும் புரிஞ்சாச்சு
The whole town has come to know

The whole town has come to know
Everyone has understood our love story
ஒண்ணா சேர்ந்து பீச்சு பக்கம்

Wandering together around the beach area
Every single day
Both you and I, overall
Leaning on the chest and whispering endearments
Oh my, the whole town has come to know
Everyone has understood our love story
கண்ணே நான்தான் காதலன் உனக்கு
கைவிட நினைக்காதே
என்னால் நீதான் ஏக்கத்தில் துடிச்சே
இப்ப நீ மறைக்காதே
My darling, I am your lover
Don't think of abandoning me
Because of me, you throbbed in longing
Now don't try to hide it
முத்தங்கள் நூறு நானும் தந்து நீயும் தந்து
மோகங்கள் தீர்ந்த நேரமுண்டு காலமுண்டு
A hundred kisses
Given by me and given by you
Desires were fulfilled
There was a time and a moment for that
என்னடி ஆச்சு ஓடிப் போக ஓடிப் போக
வேறொரு ஆளத் தேடிப் தேடிப் போக
விட்டாலும் தொட்டாலும் என்னாச உன்னோடுதான்
What happened to you?
Running away, running away
Another person
Seeking after, seeking after
Whether you leave me or touch me
My desire is only with you
ஊருக்கு தெரிஞ்சாச்சு
நம்ம கத யாருக்கும் புரிஞ்சாச்சு
ஒண்ணா சேர்ந்து பீச்சு பக்கம்
ஒவ்வொரு நாளும் சுத்துனதும்
The whole town has come to know
Everyone has understood our love story
Wandering together around the beach area
Every single day
நீயும் நானும் ஆக மொத்தம்
நெஞ்சுல சாஞ்சு கொஞ்சுனதும்
அம்மா ஊருக்கு தெரிஞ்சாச்சு
நம்ம கத யாருக்கும் புரிஞ்சாச்சு...
Both you and I, overall
Leaning on the chest and whispering endearments
Oh my, the whole town has come to know
Everyone has understood our love story
பொன்னே பூவே பூ வச்ச நிலவே
புன்னக முகம் காட்டு
எல்லாம் தெரிஞ்சும் ஏனடி உனக்கு
எங்கிட்ட விளையாட்டு
My precious girl, my flower, my moon adorned with blossoms
Show me your smiling face
Even after knowing everything, why do you
Play games with me?
எத்தன காலம் காதலிச்சு காதலிச்சு
புத்தியும் போச்சு பேதலிச்சு பேதலிச்சு
For how long
Loving and loving
I lost my mind
Becoming frantic and crazed
தத்துவப் பாட்டு பாடட்டும்மா பாடட்டும்மா
தேவதாஸ் போல மாறட்டுமா மாறட்டுமா
அம்மாடி ஆத்தாடி பித்தானேன் உன்னாலத்தான்
A philosophical song
Shall I sing? Shall I sing?
Like Devadas
Shall I transform? Shall I transform?
Oh my goodness
I have gone mad because of you
ஊருக்கு தெரிஞ்சாச்சு
நம்ம கத யாருக்கும் புரிஞ்சாச்சு
ஒண்ணா சேர்ந்து பீச்சு பக்கம்
ஒவ்வொரு நாளும் சுத்துனதும்
The whole town has come to know
Everyone has understood our love story
Wandering together around the beach area
Every single day
நீயும் நானும் ஆக மொத்தம்
நெஞ்சுல சாஞ்சு கொஞ்சுனதும்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Oorukku Therinjaachu' from the 1988 Tamil film 'Kalicharan' is a playful yet emotionally charged romantic lament. The protagonist reminds his beloved of their intense romantic past—their daily walks along the beach, intimate moments, and open expression of love. He points out that their romance is no longer a secret, as the entire town is now aware of it. Despite their bond, the woman seems to be pulling away or playing hard to get. The protagonist questions her sudden change of heart, expressing fear of abandonment and declaring that he is losing his mind over her. He dramatically threatens to become a tragic, heartbroken figure like 'Devadas' if she leaves him, reaffirming that his love and desire remain exclusively hers.

Trivia
Music director Chandrabose, known for his rustic and catchy 1980s tunes, composed this track using colloquial Tamil phrases like 'beachu pakkam' and 'aaga motham'. Legendary lyricist Vaali expertly blended street-smart conversational dialogue with classical poetic imagery ('poo vacha nilave'). The energetic rendition by Malaysia Vasudevan perfectly captures the character's theatrical despair and colloquial charm.
