பூப்பறிக்க நீயும்
போகாதே உன்னப்
பாத்தாலே பூக்களுக்குள்
கத்திச் சண்டையடி
Don't go to pluck flowers,
Just by looking at you,
A sword fight breaks out among the flowers.
தந்தானே தந்தானே
Thandhaanae thandhaanae
பொட்டு வைக்க
நீயும் போகாதே உன்னப்
பாத்தாலே கண்ணடி
கைகள் நீட்டுமடி
Don't go to put a bindi on your forehead,
Just by looking at you,
The mirror will extend its hands towards you.
தந்தானே தந்தானே
Thandhaanae thandhaanae
கோயிலுக்கு
நீயும் போகாதே
கோபுரங்கள் சாஞ்சி
பாக்குமடி
Don't go to the temple,
The temple towers will lean over to look at you,
பாக்குமடி
Will look at you!
காட்டுக்குள்ள
நீயும் போகாதே
கொட்டுகிற தேனீக்கூட்டம்
தேனெடுக்க உதட்டை
சுத்துமடி
Don't go into the forest,
The swarm of stinging honeybees
Will swarm around your lips to gather honey!
ஓஹோ ஹோ
Ohooo…hoooo……
பூப்பறிக்க நீயும்
போகாதே உன்னப்
பாத்தாலே பூக்களுக்குள்
கத்திச் சண்டையடி ஹோ
Don't go to pluck flowers,
Just by looking at you,
A sword fight breaks out among the flowers…hoo

ம்ம்ம் ஆத்துக்குள்ள
நீ குளிச்சா அங்க உள்ள மீனு
எல்லாம் மீசையத்தான்
சுத்திக்கிட்டு அலையுதடி
Hei ga ga ga ri ga ri sa sa

காதலுடன் திரியுதடி
{Hoiyaraa hoiyaa} (4)
குச்சுப்புடி
கதகளியெல்லாம் உன்
நடையிலே புதுப் புது
பாடம் படிக்குமே
Mmm, if you bathe in the river,
All the fish living there
Will twirl their moustaches
And wander around after you….
ரங்கோலி
கோலம் எதுக்கடி
கொஞ்சம் வெக்கப்படு
கன்னத்தில் வண்ணம்
பிறக்குமே
Even a young goat kid now
Has grown a beard
And is roaming around
With one-sided love!
நாடு விட்டு
நாடு வரும் வேடந்தாங்கல்
வெள்ளைப் புறா யார் மனதில்
கூடு கட்ட வருகிறதோ
Kuchipudi and Kathakali classical dances
From your graceful walk
Will learn brand new lessons.
கால் முளச்ச
சூரியனா தூள் கெளப்பி
சுத்துறியே உன்னிடத்தில்
எந்த நிலா ஒளி பெறுமோ
Why do you need Rangoli or Kolam patterns?
Just blush a little bit,
Color will be born on your cheeks!
வட்டமிடும்
பட்டாம்பூச்சியே
உன் வண்ணமெல்லாம்
ஒட்டிக்கொள்ள பூவும்
பூத்திருக்கு
Crossing lands from afar,
Oh white dove of Vedanthangal,
In whose heart are you coming
To build a nest?
திட்டம் இல்ல
திசையும் இல்லையே
உன் வாலிபம் பறந்திடத்
தடையும் எங்கிருக்கு
Like a sun that sprouted legs,
You roam around creating excitement,
Which moon will receive light from you?
..........................
Oh circling butterfly,
Flowers have bloomed to absorb
All of your vibrant colors!
Without any set plan or direction,
For your youthfulness to fly free,
Where is any obstacle?
Wooowoooo…hoooo..hoooo…

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This lively song celebrates youthful energy, beauty, and playful romance. The singer playfully warns the young heroine that her captivating charm disrupts nature itself—flowers fight over her, temple towers bow to see her, honeybees mistake her lips for sweet nectar, and even river fish twirl their moustaches in admiration. Her energetic spirit is compared to a whirlwind that cannot be tamed. In the second half, her natural grace is praised as superior to classical dances, and her blush is preferred over drawn patterns. The song captures the boundless freedom, charm, and vibrant exuberance of youth, framing the heroine as a radiant force of nature.
