பேசக் கூடாது
One shouldn't just talk
பேசக் கூடாது
வெறும் பேச்சில் சுகம்
ஹோய் ஏதும் இல்லை
பேதம் இல்லை லீலைகள்
காண்போமே
One shouldn't just talk
There is no joy in mere talk, hey!
There are no differences or bounds
Shall we experience romantic games?
ஆசை கூடாது
மணமாலை தந்து ஹோய்
சொந்தம் கொண்டு மஞ்சம்
கண்டு லீலைகள் காண்போமே
Desire shouldn't be restrained
Giving the wedding garland, hey!
Claiming ownership and seeing the bed,
Shall we experience romantic games?
ஆசைக் கூடாது
Desire shouldn't be restrained
பார்க்கும்
பார்வை நீ என்
வாழ்வும் நீ என்
கவிதை நீ பாடும்
ராகம் நீ என் நாதம்
நீ என் உயிரும் நீ
You are the gaze I see, my
Life you are, my poetry you are
You are the melody I sing, my
Sound you are, my life you are
காலம்
யாவும் நான் உன்
சொந்தம் காக்கும்
தெய்வம் நீ பாலிலாடும்
மேனி எங்கும் கொஞ்சும்
செல்வம் நீ
For all time
I am your own, protecting
Deity you are
இடையோடு
கனி ஆட தடை
போட்டால் நியாயமா
உன்னாலே பசி தூக்கம்
இல்லை எப்போதும்
நெஞ்சுக்குள் தொல்லை
இனி மேலும் ஏன் இந்த
எல்லை
A body that sways like milk,
You are a treasure caressed everywhere
ஆசை கூடாது
மணமாலை தந்து ஹோய்
சொந்தம் கொண்டு மஞ்சம்
கண்டு லீலைகள் காண்போமே
When the fruit-like body sways at the waist,
Is it fair to place an obstacle?
பேசக் கூடாது
Because of you, I have no hunger or sleep
Always trouble inside my heart
Why this boundary anymore?

நீ பொன் மலரும் நீ என்
நினைவும் நீ
One shouldn't just talk...
ஊஞ்சல் ஆடும்
பருவம் உண்டு உரிமை
தர வேண்டும் நூலில்
ஆடும் இடையும் உண்டு
நாளும் வர வேண்டும்

பல காலம்
உனக்காக மனம் ஏங்கி
வாடுதே வருகின்ற தை
மாதம் சொந்தம் அணிகின்ற
மணிமாலை பந்தம்
இரவோடும் பகலோடும்
இன்பம்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Pesakoodaathu from Adutha Varisu (1983) is a playful romantic duet expressing intimate longing, passion, and eager anticipation of marital union between two lovers. The lyrics convey that mere words and distant conversation are insufficient for true lovers; emotional commitment and physical proximity, legitimized by marriage, are needed to fully experience romantic joy. Throughout the song, the lovers shower each other with affectionate epithets, comparing one another to morning dew, golden blossoms, comforting dreams, and life itself. They share how love has stolen their rest and appetite, eagerly looking forward to the sacred month of Thai to solidify their bond forever.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Monai (Alliteration)
“Paarkum paarvai nee en”
Repetition of the initial 'P' sound creates a rhythmic sound structure.
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Kaalai paniyum nee / Kanmaniyum nee en / Kanavum nee maalai / Mayakam nee pon malarum”
Directly equating the beloved to morning dew, eye's pupil, dream, and golden flower without explicit comparative words.
Edugai (Second-letter rhyme)
“Varugindra thai maadham / Anigindra mani maalai”
The second consonant 'ri' matches in consecutive lines, establishing classic Tamil poetic flow.
