இந்த வயசு போனா
வேற வயசு இல்ல அழக
ரசிக்கலனா அவன்தான்
மனுஷன் இல்ல
Once this youth passes
There is no other age like this
If one doesn't appreciate beauty
He is not a human at all
படிச்சு பாத்தேன்
ஏறவில்ல குடிச்சு பாத்தேன்
ஏறிடுச்சு
I tried studying, but nothing got into my head
I tried drinking, and it hit me right away

கல்யாணத்த
செய்யும் போது பஞ்சாங்கத்த
பார்ப்பவனே காதலிக்க
பஞ்சாங்கத்த பார்ப்பதில்லயே
While getting married
O man who checks the almanac
To fall in love, does anyone
Check the almanac?
நல்ல நேரம்
பார்த்து பார்த்து முதலிரவு
போறவனே புள்ள பொறக்கும்
நேரத்த நீ சொல்ல முடியுமா
O man who checks auspicious times
To go for the wedding night
Can you predict the time
When a child will be born?
ரெண்டு விரலில்
சிகரெட்டு வச்சு இழுக்கும்
போது தீப்பந்தம் பழைய
சோத்த பொதச்சு வச்சு
பருகும் போது ஆனந்தம்
கனவு இல்ல கவல இல்ல
இவன் போல எவனும்
இல்ல
Holding a cigarette between two fingers
Puffing it creates a flaming torch
Storing leftover rice wrapped up
Eating it brings pure joy
No dreams, no worries
There is no one like him
இந்த வயசு போனா
வேற வயசு இல்ல அழக
ரசிக்கலனா அவன்தான்
மனுஷன் இல்ல
Once this youth passes
There is no other age like this
If one doesn't appreciate beauty
He is not a human at all

Right in front of you
பட்டுச்சேலை
கூட்டத்தில பட்டாம்பூச்சி
போல வந்து பம்பரமா
ஆடப்போறேன் ஒங்க

Hey, Malavika from the upstairs house
Coming like a ribbon-fish
Calling out while showing teeth
With half-closed eyes
ஏ மாடி வீட்டு
மாளவிகா வாளமீனு
போல வந்து பல்லக்காட்டி
கூப்பிடுது பாதி கண்ணாலே
As all nerves get energized
I am going to dance, my friend
Young groom in a folded dhoti
Dance along with your buddy
Dance holding on, dance till the end
Once morning comes, finish it off
நரம்பு எல்லாம்
முறுக்கு ஏற நடனமாட
போறேன்டா மல்லுவேட்டி
மாப்பிள்ள பையா மச்சான்
கூட ஆடேன்டா புடுச்சு ஆடு
முடிச்சு ஆடு விடிஞ்ச பின்னால்

Once this youth passes
There is no other age like this
If one doesn't appreciate beauty
He is not a human at all

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic song captures the carefree, rebellious, and lighthearted attitude of youth. The speaker humorously contrasts the struggles of studying with the immediate thrills of peer life, romance, and freedom. The lyrics question social rigidities—such as checking auspicious almanac times for love or marriage—arguing that life is unpredictable and youth should be embraced without unnecessary anxieties.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Edhugai (Second letter rhyming)
“Padichu pathen yeravilla / Kudichu pathen yeriduchu”
The second consonant 'di' matches across consecutive lines ('Padichu' / 'Kudichu'), creating rhythmic flow.
Simile (Uvamai)
“Pattamboochi pola vanthu / Pabaramaa aadapporen”
Comparing the dancer's movement to a spinning top ('Pabaramaa') and a butterfly ('Pattamboochi').
Antithesis / Contrast
“Sirichu pathen sikkavilla / Morachu pathen sikkiduchu”
Contrasting smiling ('Sirichu') which failed with glaring ('Morachu') which succeeded.

Trivia
This track incorporates dynamic kuthu beats and elements reminiscent of traditional Tamil folk songs (including references to the popular 'Ennadi Muniyamma' folk rendition). It served as an energetic youth anthem in the 2007 Dhanush-starrer 'Polladhavan'.
