The police are here to guard us,
Come close, my man, I long to hold you!
Tender, sweet little one, cuddle and fondle me,
the wind is blowing in our favor!
Tender, sweet little one, cuddle and fondle me,

Touch me gently, hold me close and tight,
shyness is taking a break now!
Touch me gently, hold me close and tight,

Our horoscope is completely in our favor,
Female: fortune is raining down on us, my man!

If you give the command, it will surely happen,

With the policeman keeping watch for us,
come close, girl, I am eager to embrace you!

Male: What a daughter your father brought into this world,
that shameless fellow Subban!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Police Namakku Kaavalirkku from the 1983 movie Neethibathi is a lighthearted, romantic duet sung by Malaysia Vasudevan and Vani Jairam, composed by Gangai Amaran with lyrics by Vaali. The song portrays playful romance and witty banter between two lovers who make light of their surrounding environment to express their passionate desire to embrace and be close to each other. Using humorous local idioms, classical music notes (swaras), and playful references to horoscope, rain, and starting a family, the couple teasingly negotiate their affection. Vaali's catchy folk-infused lyrics give the song an endearing, energetic rhythm characteristic of 1980s Tamil commercial cinema.
