ஏ ஹே பாடப்போறேன் டூயட் பாட்டு
ஆடப் போறே நீ அதைக் கேட்டு
ராகங்கள கத்துக்கல தாளங்கள தொட்டுக்கல
பாடப்போறேன் நானும் சத்தம் போட்டு
Hey, I am going to sing a duet song
I am going to dance, listening to it
Haven't learnt classical ragas, haven't mastered beats
I am going to sing by making noise

Hey, I am going to sing a duet song

கண்ணதாசனப் போலதான்
பாட்டும் எழுத தெரியாது
Like Kannadasan
I do not know how to write songs
Like Kannadasan
I do not know how to write songs
விஸ்வநாதனை மாதிரி
ட்யூனும் போட முடியாது
Like Viswanathan
I cannot compose a tune
இஷ்ட்டப்பட்ட தாட்டுகளை
எடுத்து இப்ப விடலாம்
எக்கச்சக்க ஸ்வரங்கள
தொட்டுப்புட்டு வரலாம் யாரு நம்ம கேக்கிறது...
The thoughts we like
We can express them now
Female: Endless swaras and musical notes
We can touch upon them and come, who is going to question us?

Dancing and singing together, that
Seeing that, we have learned the lesson
அவங்கள எண்ணிக்கிட்டு

Keeping them in mind
We should dance the dance
Male: That is what

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This lighthearted and energetic duet celebrates the simple joy of singing and dancing without worrying about formal musical training or perfection. The singers humorously admit that they are neither master lyricists like Kannadasan nor legendary composers like M. S. Viswanathan. Instead, they express whatever thoughts come to mind, inspired by the thousands of popular cinema songs they have enjoyed over the years alongside the enthusiastic crowd.

Poetic devices
Rhyme / Monorhyme (Iyaibu)

“Aayiram aayiram paattugala”
The word 'Aayiram' is repeated back-to-back to emphasize the vast count of cinema songs heard.
