பேசாமல் வா என் பக்கம் நெருங்கு
கேட்காமல் தா தேன் முத்தம் வழங்கு

Come silently and move closer to my side
Give me a sweet honeyed kiss without asking
Come silently and move closer to my side
Give me a sweet honeyed kiss without asking
யாரோ என்று என் எண்ணம் சொன்னது
நீதான் என்று என் நெஞ்சம் சொன்னது

கள்ளனைப் போலே
உள்ளே வந்தது காதல் செய்யத்தான்
கள்ளில் மிதக்கும் கன்னிப்
பூவை மெல்லக் கிள்ளத்தான்
Like a thief
Entering inside just to make love
A maiden floating in wine
Just to gently pinch the flower-like girl
ஓஒ.....ஓ....ஓ.....
Ooo...oo...oo....

Just to gently pinch the flower-like girl
மாலைப் போட்டு
மஞ்சள் முடியைப் போட்டு

பின்பு வித்தையை காட்டு
Putting on a garland
Tying the sacred yellow thread
Putting on a garland
Tying the sacred yellow thread
Once you officially become my husband
Show your romantic tricks after that
இப்போ இங்கே தொட்டால் தப்பா
இங்கே நீங்கள் அங்கே அப்பா
Is it wrong if I touch you here right now?
Female: You stay here, father is right over there!
பேசாமல் வா என் பக்கம் நெருங்கு

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful track portrays romantic banter and playful teasing between two lovers anticipating their upcoming union. The male lover coaxingly requests affection, sweet kisses, and physical closeness, comparing his stealthy romantic advance to a thief stealing love. The female lover playfully sets boundaries, reminding him of her family's presence nearby and emphasizing that traditional rituals like garlanding and tying the marital thread must take place before they indulge fully. As the song progresses, they exchange clever quips about rehearsing their future marital life. The male protagonist compares their night-time romance to 'secret lessons' they should study daily, while the heroine expresses maidenly bashfulness. Lyricist Vaali weaves witty Tamil proverbs and lighthearted double-entendres into the dialogue, creating a lively duet performed with exuberance by Kovai Soundararajan and L. R. Eswari.
