இன்பமாய் வாழ வேண்டும் என்னும்
In this world, that men and women every day
Should live in joy and happiness,

இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் பாருமே என்னை
இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் பாருமே
இனிக்கும் செந்தேன் நானே

Look at me a little more,
Look at me a little more;
I am sweet, pure honey,
Me, with the beauty of a dancing golden deer;
Behind me...
இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் பாருமே
Look at me a little more;
தங்கச் சிலையாகவே கொஞ்சும் கிளியாகவே
மின்னல் வடிவாகவே விண்ணில் அமுதாகவே
என்னைப் பாரும் எழிலைப் பாரும்
எழுந்து வாரும் மனம் எங்கும் இதை
Like a golden statue, like a caressing parrot,
Like a flash of lightning, like heavenly nectar in the skies,
Look at me, look at my beauty,
Arise and come, hold this thought everywhere in your mind;
இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் பாருமே என்னை
இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் பாருமே
Look at me a little more,
Look at me a little more;
வாழ்வில் பெண்ணின்பமே பாரில் பேரின்பமாம்
ஓ....ஓஹ்...ஓ...ஓஹ்...ஓ....
அதுவே என்றென்றும் மாறாத ஆனந்தம்
எதிரில் நிற்கும் இதுவே சொர்க்கம்
எழிலார் சிற்பம் மனம் எங்கும் இதை
The delight of a woman in life is the ultimate bliss in this world,
Vocalizing melodic hums...
That alone is the eternal, unchanging truth,
This standing right before you is heaven itself,
A majestic sculpture; place this in your heart everywhere,
இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் பாருமே என்னை
இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் பாருமே
Look at me a little more,
Look at me a little more.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
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.
