Smack! Smack! Smack!
Smack! Smack! Smack!
To the king of southern Lanka,
this girl is the sister!
Why have you come to cut off my nose, you fool?
To the king of southern Lanka,
this girl is the sister!
Why have you come to cut off my nose, you fool?
Have you lost your mind? Get lost!
For Rama who snapped the bow,
to smash his teeth and show him,
I have a brother—come face me!
My throat has gone dry,
bring me a soda, boy!
Ooh... oyya!
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Don't sing, don't sing, stop it!
Hey girl, don't sing, don't sing, stop it!
I am going to sing a song right back at you!
I am going to sing a song right back at you!
Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!
Eight whole towns will hear my song... ah... ah...
Eight whole towns will hear my song...
What can your song even do to me here?
Female: Stop it!
Hey Surpanakha queen, you noseless hag!
Whom are you showing off your moves to?
If I sweep your legs,
your whole row of teeth will tumble out!
We can gaze face to face,
Ah... ah... yes... ah... ah... ah... ah...
We can gaze face to face,
and admire the Cutex nail polish on fingernails!
We can gaze face to face!
If styled dark hair
is called hairdressing,
Ah... ah... ah... ah... ah... ah... ah...
If styled dark hair
is called hairdressing,
lipstick can be paired with the lips!
Swaying before me in the gentle breeze,
Thathimtha thaguthimtha thimtha,
on hands that drift gracefully,
Thathimtha thaguthimtha thimtha,
we can hear the tune of the bangles!
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
You are also a film star!
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
You are also a film star!
Looking like our M.G.R.,
lovely beauty, come on sir!
Looking like our M.G.R.,

Meet me, meet me, sweetie girl,
teach me, teach me, lovely, tell!
Tell me, tell me the meeting place,
daily, daily show your face!
Meet me, meet me, sweetie girl,
teach me, teach me, lovely, tell!
Tell me, tell me the meeting place,
daily, daily show your face!
Go away, mister, go away!
Go away, mister, go away, do not touch me!
Do not shoot arrows like Manmathan (God of Love)!
Come here, girl, come here, do not run away!
If you keep your distance, it is not good for your health!
Enough, enough of this desire!
I cannot even stand the scent of men, mister!
Male: Hey girl, why this anger?
Is it a sin if the two of us fall in love?
...
Male: ...
Aunt's daughter, why all this fuss?
Beside your cousin, what other worry could you have?
Female: Yahoo-ng, ahoo-ng, ahoo-ng!
Oo-wahoon, yahoon, oo-wahoon!
Bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo!
Do not slash me with your eyes,
do not charge at me with your heart!
Love is definitely there,
so do not scold me when you see me!
Aunt's daughter, why all this fuss?
Beside your cousin, what other worry could you have?
Both: Yahoo-ng, ahoo-ng, ahoo-ng!
Oo-wahoon, yahoon, oo-wahoon!

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This playful and upbeat duet from the 1972 movie 'Raman Thediya Seethai' showcases a comical and flirtatious bantering between the lead pair. Incorporating references to Ramayana (Surpanakha, Ravana, and Rama), popular Western nursery rhymes ('Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'), contemporary pop culture (MGR, hair dressing, soda, nail polish), and lively rhythmic vocalizations, the song paints a humorous back-and-forth between a persistent suitor and a coyly resistant woman.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Edhugai (Second letter rhyming)
“Villodichcha ramanukku / Pallodaichchu kaattutharkku”
In Tamil poetry, matching the second letter across consecutive lines creates rhythmic symmetry, seen here with 'da' in 'Villodichcha' and 'Pallodaichchu'.
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Vettaathae kannai kondu / Muttaathae nenjai kondu / Kattaayam kadhal undu / Thittaathae ennai kandu”
Matching end sounds across lines like 'kundu', 'undu', 'kandu'.
Alliteration / Onomatopoeia
“Padaar padaar padaar”
Repetition of sound words ('Padaar padaar padaar') simulating slaps or dramatic beats.

Trivia
Composed by M. S. Viswanathan with lyrics by Vaali, this song creatively blends traditional Tamil theatrical banter, Ramayana references, modern 1970s westernized slang (soda, cutex, hair dressing), and English nursery rhymes, making it a uniquely iconic comedic duet picturized on M. G. Ramachandran and Jayalalithaa.
