பயந்தால் ஆகுமா கண்ணாலே
பாடம் படித்து ஆன பின்
பந்தலிலே பல பேர்கள் முன்னாலே
பரிவுடன் என்னை கல்யாணம் பண்ணாமலே
பயந்தால் ஆகுமா கண்ணாலே
பாடம் படித்து ஆன பின்
Will it do if you get scared, my dear with lovely eyes?
After having completed our studies?
In front of many people under the marriage canopy,
Without lovingly marrying me,
Will it do if you get scared, my dear with lovely eyes?
After having completed our studies?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a playful argument between two educated lovers—a young woman and a doctor. Having completed their education, the heroine urges him to marry her immediately in public under a wedding canopy, arguing that true love does not require formal parental approval first. The doctor, bound by filial duty, insists that because his father is actively searching for a bride for him, it is proper and honorable to seek his father's consent before marriage. Throughout the song, they playfully banter back and forth, trading lighthearted accusations until he reaffirms his love but maintains his stance on honoring his father.
