பொன் மேனி தழுவாமல்
பெண் இன்பம் அறியாமல்
Without embracing the golden body
Without experiencing womanly bliss
பொன் மேனி தழுவாமல்
பெண் இன்பம் அறியாமல் போக வேண்டுமா
கண்ணோடு கண் சேர
உன்னோடு நான் சேர தூது வேண்டுமா
பொன் மேனி தழுவாமல்
பெண் இன்பம் அறியாமல் போக வேண்டுமா
கண்ணோடு கண் சேர
உன்னோடு நான் சேர தூது வேண்டுமா
பொன் மேனி தழுவாமலே ஏ..... ஏ....ஏ......

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
In 'Ponmaeni Thazhuvamal' from the 1966 film Yaar Nee?, the heroine expresses deep romantic longing and passionate yearning for her beloved. She tenderly questions why there should be distance or silence between them when their eyes have already met, asking if an external messenger or formal spoken words are even required when two hearts are intrinsically connected.
