Aah... aa...
A wedding, a wedding, a wedding born of love!
The waiting bull is eyeing the millet field!
A wedding, a wedding, a wedding born of love!
The waiting bull is eyeing the millet field!
A woman grown will now understand what it all means!
Male: A woman grown will now understand what it all means!
Male: The green parrot circles around the ripe fig,
Male: Waiting for a quiet moment to peck and taste it!
Aa aa ah yea mm mm oh oh...
Aathiri pachaa damukku dappa
Dangiri dappa dayaan dappa
Hey... hey... hey, brother!
This golden mango is now my own mango fruit!
We will explore a world of dreams, my darling!
The creaking of the bed until dawn,
And once dawn breaks, won't we hear the rocking of a cradle?
Everything changes today, as one and one become one!
This golden mango is now my own mango fruit!
My darling will explore a world of dreams!
The creaking of the bed until dawn,
And once dawn breaks, won't we hear the rocking of a cradle?
Everything changes today, as one and one become one...
This golden mango is now my own mango fruit!
We will explore a world of dreams, my darling!
...
The arrows of Kama (the god of love)
Urge me to surrender to love.
Male: Once your shyness fades away,
You will understand all its secrets.
If you teach me, I will gladly learn.
Male: If you offer it freely, I will gladly take it.
Female: Not knowing how to swim, I am diving into a pond!
Male: I don't know either, but I am giving it a try!
Is this new to you as well?
Male: What a strange question to ask me!
Female: My queen... my king!
This golden mango is now my own mango fruit!
My darling will explore a world of dreams!
...
If women did not exist,
Half of life would not be here.
Female: There is no modesty here,
This is not proper behavior!
There are no rules on the bed of love!
Female: Men have no shame!
Male: Set your shyness aside for a moment,
And see for yourself, my dear!
Female: Even when ordered to,
Can a leaf change its natural green?
All in all, there is nothing wrong with this!
Female: There is not enough flavor in this kiss!
Male: The real work begins only now!
This golden mango is now my own mango fruit!
Female: My darling will explore a world of dreams!
The creaking of the bed until dawn,
Male: Ha! Once dawn breaks, the sound of a cradle!
Both: Won't it be heard? Everything changes today,
Male: As one and one become one...
This golden mango is now my own mango fruit!
Female: My darling will explore a world of dreams!

Metaphor (Uvamanai)
“Pon maangani ithu ini en maangani”
Comparing the bride to a golden mango ('Pon maangani') and the husband's longing to a bull eyeing a millet field.
Edhugai (Second Letter Rhyme)
“Vidiyum varai kattil saththam / Vidinthu vittaal thottil saththam kaelaathaa”
The second consonant 'tt' matches in 'kattil' (bed) and 'thottil' (cradle), creating rhythm and contrast between intimacy and parenthood.

“Naanam ingu illai idhu / Naagareegam illai”
Repetition of initial consonant sound 'Na' in 'Naanam' and 'Naagareegam'.

Trivia
The lyricist Vairamuthu uses iconic wordplay linking 'kattil saththam' (sound of the bed at night) directly to 'thottil saththam' (sound of the baby cradle by morning), symbolizing how marriage naturally evolves into family life.
