ஒரு கிளி சிரிக்குதடி அதில் ஒரு கிளி மயங்குதடி
ஒரு கிளி சிரிக்குதடி அதில் ஒரு கிளி மயங்குதடி
இனி இரவுகள் பகலென மாறும்
மலர் இதழ்களில் மது ரசம் ஊறும்
One parrot laughs, and another parrot swoons in love.
One parrot laughs, and another parrot swoons in love.
From now on, nights will turn into days.
Sweet honey nectar will ooze from flower-like lips.
இரு கண்ணும் தூங்காது நெஞ்சும் தாங்காது
இருவரும் தவிப்பது சொல்லித் தீராது
Both eyes won't sleep, and the heart can't hold back.
The longing felt by both cannot be described enough.
ஒரு கிளி சிரிக்குதடி அதில் ஒரு கிளி மயங்குதடி....
One parrot laughs, and another parrot swoons in love.
.................................
வளையல் சத்தம் கேட்டாலே...
குழு :
வருவான்.....வருவான்
உதட்டில் ஒன்னு பூப்போலே...
குழு :
தருவான்.....தருவான்
நீ வெட்கத்தில் ஒதுங்கிட ஒதுங்கிட
ஓர் அச்சத்தில் பதுங்கிட பதுங்கிட
When the sound of bangles is heard,
Chorus: He will come... he will come.
Female: On her lips, like a flower,
Chorus: He will give... he will give a kiss.
Female: As you step aside in shyness,
Cowering in a sweet, gentle fear,
இரவும் பகலும் போராடலாம்
இளமை நதியில் நீராடலாம்
பழமொடு பால் பருகிடும் நாள்
குலுங்கி குலுங்கி மலர் கட்டில் கூத்தாட
Night and day, we can playfully battle in romance,
We can bathe in the flowing river of youthfulness.
The day to taste sweet milk along with fruits,
As the bed of flowers shakes and dances joyously!
ஒரு கிளி சிரிக்குதடி அதில் ஒரு கிளி மயங்குதடி
இனி இரவுகள் பகலென மாறும்
மலர் இதழ்களில் மது ரசம் ஊறும்
One eye will not sleep, and the heart cannot hold back.

One parrot laughs, and another parrot swoons in love.

நீ வேகத்தில் வளைத்திட வளைத்திட
பூந்தேகத்தில் வலித்திட வலித்திட
Without letting the heroine's heart wither,
Chorus: Gently, gently...
Playfully teasing until she swoons,
Chorus: Oh leader, my lord...
Female: As you wrap your arms tightly around her,
Causing a tender ache in her flower-like body,
உரசும் பொழுது என்னாகுமோ
உதடும் உடலும் புண்ணாகுமோ
சிறு விழிதான் சிவந்திடத்தான்
எடுக்க எடுக்க அது என்றும் தீராது
What will happen when we touch and rub against each other?
Will our lips and body be bruised with passion?
As the soft eyes turn red with desire,
No matter how much love is taken, it will never be exhausted!
ஒரு கிளி சிரிக்குதடி அதில் ஒரு கிளி மயங்குதடி
One parrot laughs, and another parrot swoons in love.
ஒரு கிளி சிரிக்குதடி அதில் ஒரு கிளி மயங்குதடி

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Oru Kili Sirikkuthadi' is a sensuous and playful romantic Tamil song expressing the overwhelming anticipation and romantic bliss of lovers. Using intimate metaphors like parrots symbolizing the couple, flower-like lips, and bathing in the river of youth, the lyrics portray the intensity of nuptial love and yearning. The song explores the tender shyness of the woman, the playful dominance of her lover, and the sleepless nights filled with passionate devotion. The emotional trajectory transitions from soft, hesitant longing to an exuberant celebration of physical and emotional unity. Vaali's evocative words coupled with S. Janaki's expressive rendition capture the excitement of love where time stands still and nights effortlessly turn into days.
