பட்டாச அந்த பொண்ணு
ஒரு பார்வை பார்த்தா
பஞ்சார கோழி குஞ்சும்
உரு மாறும் வாத்தா
That girl is like a firecracker
If she casts a single glance
Even a small chick inside a coop
Will transform into a duck
பட்டாச அந்த பொண்ணு
ஒரு பார்வை பார்த்தா
பஞ்சார கோழி குஞ்சும்
உரு மாறும் வாத்தா
That girl is like a firecracker
If she casts a single glance
Even a small chick inside a coop
Will transform into a duck
அவ காட்டு மல்லி போல
வாசம் வீச
தலகாலு புரியாம என்ன பேச
அவ காட்டு மல்லி போல
வாசம் வீச
தலகாலு புரியாம என்ன பேச பேச
Like wild jasmine she spreads scent
Spreading fragrance
Without understanding head or tail, what to speak
As she spreads fragrance like wild jasmine
Without understanding head or tail, what to speak and speak
தலையாட்டி பொம்மைக்கூட
அவலோட பேர சொன்னா
செலையாகி போக சண்டை போடும்
பசு மாட்டு காம்பும் கூட
அவளோட பேச்ச கேட்டா
கறக்காம பால சிந்தி ஓடும்
Even a bobblehead doll
If her name is uttered to it
Will fight to turn into a saree for her
Even the udder of a cow
If it hears her speak
Will spill milk without yielding and run off
அழுத கொழந்தை
அவ முன்னே வந்தா
அடங்கி விடுவதென்ன
அந்நேரம்தான்
A crying baby
If she comes in front of it
Why does it grow quiet?
At that very moment
அவ எடக்கு மடக்கு பண்ணி
போகும் சீதை
அவ அடிக்க எனக்கு இப்ப போதை
She acts mischievously unpredictable
Like a wandering Sita
Her playful strike gives me an intoxication now
பட்டாச அந்த பொண்ணு
ஒரு பார்வை பார்த்தா
பஞ்சார கோழி குஞ்சும்
உரு மாறும் வாத்தா
That girl is like a firecracker
If she casts a single glance
Even a small chick inside a coop
Will transform into a duck
அவளோட வாசம் பட்டா
மனசெல்லாம் சீட்டு கட்டா
கலஞ்சேதான் போவதென்ன தோழா
அவளோட கண்ண கண்டா
உருண்டோடும் கோழி குண்டா
தடுமாறி போறேன் கொஞ்ச நாளா
When her fragrance brushes past
The whole heart like a deck of cards
Why does it scatter completely, my friend?
Upon catching a glimpse of her eyes
Like a rolling marble ball
I have been stumbling around these past few days
அழகில் அதட்டும் அவ கண்ணாடிய
தெருவில் நடந்து வரும் ரங்கோலியா
அவ மொறப்பு புழுஞ்சதென்ன ஐயோ சாறா
அவ சிரிப்பு மிதிச்சதென்ன என்ன சேறா
Is she a mirror commanding through beauty?
Or a rangoli walking down the street?
Why did her stern look twist me like a rope, oh dear?
Why did her smile tread over me like mud?
பட்டாச அந்த பொண்ணு
ஒரு பார்வை பார்த்தா
பஞ்சார கோழி குஞ்சும்
உரு மாறும் வாத்தா
That girl is like a firecracker
If she casts a single glance
Even a small chick inside a coop
Will transform into a duck
அவ காட்டு மல்லி போல
வாசம் வீச
தலகாலு புரியாம என்ன பேச
அவ காட்டு மல்லி போல
வாசம் வீச
தலகாலு புரியாம என்ன பேச பேச
As she spreads fragrance like wild jasmine
Without understanding head or tail, what to speak
As she spreads fragrance like wild jasmine
Without understanding head or tail, what to speak and speak
Pattaasa andha ponnu
That girl is like a firecracker
Oru paarvai paartha
If she casts a single glance
Panjaara kozhi kunjum
Even a small chick inside a coop
Uru maarum vaaththa
Will transform into a duck

That girl is like a firecracker
Oru paarvai paartha
If she casts a single glance

Without understanding head or tail, what to speak and speak
Thalaiyaati bommai kooda
Even a bobblehead doll
Avaloda pera sonna
If her name is uttered to it
Selaiyagi poga sandai podum
Will fight to turn into a saree for her
Pasu maattu kaambum kooda
Even the udder of a cow
Avaloda pecha ketta
If it hears her speak
Karakkaama paala sindhi odum
Will spill milk without yielding and run off
Azhutha kozhantha
A crying baby
Ava munnae vandha
If she comes in front of it
Adangi vidhuvadhenna
Why does it grow quiet?
Anneram thaan
At that very moment
Ava edakku madakku panni
She acts mischievously unpredictable
Pogum seethai
Like a wandering Sita
Ava adikka enakku ippo bodhai
Her playful strike gives me an intoxication now

Upon catching a glimpse of her eyes
Urundu odum kozhi gunda
Like a rolling marble ball
Thadu maari poren konja naala
I have been stumbling around these past few days
Azhagil adhattum ava kannadiya

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Pattaasa Andha Ponnu' is an upbeat, rustic Tamil track that celebrates a young man's playful obsession with a fiery and irresistibly attractive girl. Through imaginative hyperbole and rural folklore imagery, the protagonist describes how her beauty disarms everyone around her, from bobblehead toys and farm animals to crying babies and his own heart. The lyrics combine humor with romance, comparing the heroine to an explosive firecracker and fragrant wild jasmine. Her presence causes absurdly delightful disruptions in the hero's daily life, leaving him utterly mesmerized and intoxicated by her charm.
