Is this really the way to receive God's grace?
Is this the way to receive God's grace?
Is it right to hate the woman He created?

Is it right to hate the woman He created?
In this world, day after day,
that man and woman should live happily—
In this world, day after day,
that man and woman should live happily—
Can one ever defy God's command?
Can one ever defy God's command?
By trying in vain,
should one face a bitter defeat?
By trying in vain,
should one face a bitter defeat?
Is this the way to receive God's grace?
Is it right to hate the woman He created?
Look at me a little closer,
Look at me a little closer!
I am sweet, pure honey,
with the charm of a dancing golden deer!
Come after me...
Look at me a little closer!
Like a golden statue, like a playful parrot,
Like a flash of lightning, like heavenly nectar,
Look at me, look at my beauty!
Rise and come to me; with all your heart,
Look at me a little closer,
Look at me a little closer!
The joy of a woman's love is the greatest bliss in this world.
Oh... oh... oh... oh... oh...
That alone is an unchanging joy!
Standing right in front of you, this is heaven!
A graceful sculpture; with all your heart,
Look at me a little closer,
Look at me a little closer!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song from the 1954 film 'Kalyanam Panniyum Brahmachari' presents a passionate appeal against rigid asceticism and the rejection of romantic love. The singer questions whether renouncing women and worldly joy truly leads to God's grace, arguing that divine law intended for men and women to coexist in joy and love. Rejecting God's creation, she suggests, is contrary to His grand design. To persuade her beloved, she compares herself to nature's finest treasures—sweet honey, a golden deer, a lisping parrot, lightning, and heavenly nectar. She urges him to open his eyes to the present moment, proclaiming that true paradise is not an abstract realm, but the beauty, love, and companionship embodied right in front of him.
