Shall we build a new house,
darling?
Shall we lay the foundation?
Male: Shall we build it as we desire?
The house,
shall we set it up according to Vastu?
Shall we build a new house,
darling?
Shall we lay the foundation?
Male: Shall we build it as we desire?
The house,
shall we set it up according to Vastu?
The south-west corner in your name,
and the corner of strength in mine!
Male: Oh no, why look for trouble?
Just put it down in both our names, girl!
Bring a bunch of banana saplings,
and tie them at the doorway!
When are we going to start our life together?
Boil the housewarming milk and breathe easy!
A new house, darling!
Shall we build a new house,
darling?
Shall we lay the foundation?

Your street is the upper street,
my street is the lower street.
Hey, your street is the upper street,
my street is the lower street.
If both streets merge together,
it opens up a brand new way!
Your town is Mayavaram,
my town is Cholapuram.
Your town is Mayavaram,
my town is Cholapuram.
If both sides come together,
it turns into a lover's bedroom!
Who were you to me until yesterday?
And who am I to you today?
Male: Are you a burden on this earth?
Or am I a heavy weight holding you close?
When we get together,
darling,
I fall into a breathless daze!
Male: Hey girl, in the middle of the night,
come to me,
bring me to life before you go!
Hey, bring a bunch of banana saplings,
and tie them at the doorway!
When are we going to start our life together?
Boil the housewarming milk and breathe easy!
Shall we build a new house,
darling?
Shall we lay the foundation?
Male: Shall we build it as we desire?
The house,
shall we set it up according to Vastu?

Your father's name is Thangamuthu,
your mother's name is Rangamuthu.
Your father's name is Thangamuthu,
your mother's name is Rangamuthu.
When the two pearls unite,
it creates an electrifying beat!
Your father's name is Pitchumani,
your mother's name is Rukkumani.
Your father's name is Pitchumani,
your mother's name is Rukkumani.
The precious gem born from those two gems
is you, my girl!
Right after your name,
if it is my name
that gets attached, do you agree?
Male: In front of the whole town,
if it is I, my dear,
who marries you, will you be happy?
When we get together,
darling,
I fall into a breathless daze!
Male: Hey girl, in the middle of the night,
come to me,
bring me to life before you go!
Hey, bring a bunch of banana saplings,
and tie them at the doorway!
When are we going to start our life together?
Boil the housewarming milk and breathe easy!
Shall we build a new house,

Shall we build it as we desire?

and tie them at the doorway!
When are we going to start our life together?
Boil the housewarming milk and breathe easy!

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
'Puthuveedu kattalaama' from Thirupathi (2006) is an upbeat, high-energy Tamil folk duet framed as a romantic dialogue between lovers planning their future together. Using house construction, architectural directions (Vaastu), and traditional housewarming rituals (like tying banana plantains and boiling milk) as extended metaphors, the couple express their desire to marry and start a life together. The lyrics rely heavily on folk rhythms, witty retorts, local place names (Mayavaram and Sozhapuram), and rhyming parent names to emphasize how two distinct backgrounds fit harmoniously together when united in love.
