எந்தா சார் எந்துக்கு சிக்கு
என்னிடம் ஒரு மந்திரம் இருக்கு
எந்தா சார் எந்துக்கு சிக்கு

ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ ஹோயன்னா

Ho ho ho ho hoiyanna
Hoiyanna hoiyanna hoiyanna
முகத்த மறைக்க சாயப் பூச்சு
வழுக்கி விழுந்தா வேஷம் போச்சு
ஆணென்பதும் பெண்ணென்பதும்
ஆடைக்கு மேலே ஜாடை சொல்லும்
A coat of paint to hide the face,
When slipped and fallen, the disguise is gone!
Whether male or female,
The attire hints from above.
விளக்கம் எந்தன் கண்ணில் உண்டு
விவரம் உந்தன் நெஞ்சில் உண்டு
விளக்கம் எந்தன் கண்ணில் உண்டு
விவரம் உந்தன் நெஞ்சில் உண்டு
வேகத்திலே அச்சம் என்ன
வெட்கத்திலே மிச்சம் என்ன.......
The explanation is in my eyes,
The truth/detail is in your heart.
The explanation is in my eyes,
The truth/detail is in your heart.
Why fear in speed?
What is left in shyness?

Ho ho ho ho hoiyanna
Hoiyanna hoiyanna hoiyanna
சாமிக்கூட மோகினியானான்
தனக்குத்தானே ஆசைக் கொண்டான்
பெண் போலவே வந்தாயடி
பெண் போலவே ஆனாலென்ன
Even God became Mohini,
And fell in love with Himself!
You arrived looking like a woman,
What if you actually became a woman?
இந்த மேனி சொக்கத் தங்கம்
இழுத்துப் பிடிச்சா சொர்க்கம் தங்கும்
ஹா இந்த மேனி சொக்கத் தங்கம்
இழுத்துப் பிடிச்சா சொர்க்கம் தங்கும்
வேஷமிடும் வேலைய விட்டு
நாளை முதல் சேலையைக் கட்டு .....
This body is pure gold,
If embraced tightly, heaven will stay!
Haa, this body is pure gold,
If embraced tightly, heaven will stay!
Leave this job of disguising yourself,
Wear a saree starting tomorrow!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful, humorous track from the 1969 film 'Thirudan' revolves around teasing a character who has disguised themselves as a member of the opposite gender. The singer playfully mock-flirts, pointing out how the disguise slips under close scrutiny and teasingly compares the transformation to mythological transformations like Lord Vishnu becoming Mohini. The song blends playful banter, rhythm, and clever wordplay to highlight the comedic tension of gender disguise.
