ஒருவர் போடும் ஆடைக்குள்
இருவர் போகலாம்
இருவர் போடும் ஜதிகளில்
இசையை தேடலாம்
Under a single garment worn by one
The two of us can go together
In the rhythmic beats set by two
We can search for music
பள்ளி கால கதைகளை
மடியில் பேசலாம்
விஷமம் செய்த விஷயங்கள்
நினைத்து மகிழலாம்
Stories from our school days
We can discuss sitting on the lap
The mischievous things we did
We can remember and cherish with joy
செல்ல சண்டை போடும்போது
காதல் கூடுதே
சின்ன சின்ன அன்பளிப்பில்
மையல் ஏறுதே
When engaging in playful fights
Love multiplies and grows
In tiny little gifts
Infatuation increases
கொலுசை கொஞ்சம் சிணுங்க வைத்து
நோட்டம் பார்க்கிறாய்
வெப்ப மூச்சில் சூடு ஏற்றி
உருக வைக்கிறாய்
Making the anklet jingle softly
You cast watchful glances
Raising heat with warm breath
You melt my heart completely
பாக்குறப்போ பாக்குறப்போ

கூடல் காலமே
பழகுகின்ற வைபவம்
காதல் பயணமே
It is a season of union
That even flowers celebrate
The festive tradition of getting closer
Is the true journey of love
உணர்வுகள் ஒன்றாகிடும்
இன்ப யாகமே
கலந்த அந்த அனுபவம்
காம வேதமே
The sacred ritual of joy
Where emotions unite as one
That shared intimate experience
Is the scripture of love and passion
இதழை தாண்டி போகும் போது
ஆசை சொல்லுவேன்
இன்ப ராகம் நீயும் மீட்ட
வீணை ஆகுவேன்
When passing beyond the lips
I shall express my desires
As you play a joyful melody
I shall turn into a veena instrument
பாதி விழிகள் மூடும் அழகு
மூன்று நாள் பிறை
பாவை உடலில் பொங்கி வழியும்
காதல் நாள் மழை
The beauty of half-closed eyes
Is like the three-day crescent moon
Overflowing across the maiden's body
Is a four-day rain of love

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song is a romantic duet expressing playful affection, intimacy, and deep romantic longing between two lovers. The lyrics highlight the contrast between a partner's outward innocence—looking like a young child—and the passionate, mischievous romantic acts inspired by Manmadhan (the God of Love). Through vivid imagery of shared school memories, small gifts, warm breath, and sweet music, the lovers celebrate their togetherness and emotional union.
