புத்திசாலிகள் காதலித்தார்கள்
மற்றவரெல்லாம் பொழுதை வீணடித்தார்கள்
Wise people fell in love
Everyone else wasted their time

Lalala laa laa …laa la laa laaa

புத்திசாலிகள் காதலித்தார்கள்
மற்றவரெல்லாம் பொழுதை வீணடித்தார்கள்
இருபதாகட்டும் இல்லை அறுபதாகட்டும்
சரக்கிருந்தா யாரும் சரசமாடட்டும்.....
ஆசை எப்போது உண்டானதோ
உதட்டின் ஓசை அப்போதே உண்டானது...
Wise people fell in love
Everyone else wasted their time
Whether one is twenty or sixty
Anyone with spirit should make romance
Whenever desire was born
The sound of lips was born right then
புத்திசாலிகள் காதலித்தார்கள்
மற்றவரெல்லாம் பொழுதை வீணடித்தார்கள்
Wise people fell in love
Everyone else wasted their time
அய்யரு கடை நாஸ்தா
நான் வாங்கியாந்தேன் டேஸ்டா
உன் பசிக்கு தோசை
அய என் பசிக்கு ஆச
சட்டினிய தொட்டுக்கோ
சாம்பரத்தான் விட்டுக்கோ
பத்தலேன்னா நானிருக்கேன்
பக்கத்திலே ஒட்டிக்கோ
ஓஹோஹோன்னு இருக்குமடி
அது உன் நாக்கு வரையில் இனிக்குமடி....
ஓஹோஹோன்னு இருக்குமடி
அது உன் நாக்கு வரையில் இனிக்குமடி....
Breakfast from Aiyyar's shop
I bought it tasty
Dosa for your hunger, desire for my hunger
Dip in chutney, pour the sambar
If that's not enough, I am here, snuggle up close
It will be splendid, my girl
It will taste sweet right up to your tongue, my girl
It will be splendid, my girl
It will taste sweet right up to your tongue, my girl
{அத்தயும் இத்தயும் வாங்கியாந்து
ஆள இசுக்க பாக்குற
அசந்திருக்கும் நேரம் பார்த்து
ஆச முத்தம் கேக்குற} (2)
{Buying this and buying that
You are trying to entice me
Catching me off guard
You ask for a loving kiss} (2)
முத்தமா நான் கேக்குறேன்
அடி மொத்தமாதான் கேக்குறேன்
நித்தமா நான் கேக்குறேன்
அந்த நேரம் வந்தா கேக்குறேன்
Am I asking for just a kiss?
Hey, I am asking for everything completely
I am asking every single day
I am asking when the right time comes
சும்மா சும்மாதான் கேட்காதே நீ
நான் சொக்கும்படியா பாக்காதே நீ......
சும்மா சும்மாதான் கேட்காதே நீ
நான் சொக்கும்படியா பாக்காதே நீ......
Don't just keep asking casually
Don't look at me in a way that makes me swoon
Don't just keep asking casually
Don't look at me in a way that makes me swoon
வாங்கோன்னா வாங்கோன்னா
வயசானா நமக்கென்ன வாங்கோன்னா
Come on, please come on
What does age matter to us? Come on
நன்னா சொன்னேடி சமத்தோன்னோ
You spoke so well, smart one
இத்தன வருஷத்துக்கு அப்புறம்
இப்பத்தான் தெரிஞ்சுண்டேளா.....
After so many years
Only now did you realize this?
வாங்கோன்னா வாங்கோன்னா
வயசானா நமக்கென்ன வாங்கோன்னா
வாங்கோன்னா வாங்கோ இந்த ரூமு பக்கம் வாங்கோ
பழத்த வாங்கி வச்சேன் நான் பால காய்ச்சி வச்சேன்
Come on, please come on
What does age matter to us? Come on
Come on, come towards that room
I bought fruits and boiled the milk
அட பேரன் பேத்தி பாத்தா
கண்ட கேள்வி எல்லாம் கேப்பா
ரூமுக்குள்ளே தாப்பா
போட்டா தெரியும் சீப்பா
Ah, grandchildren and kids
Will ask all sorts of random questions
Inside the room, put the latch
Or else it will look cheap if seen
{நான் சொன்னத என்ன நெனச்சேள்
இப்ப சோம்பல் எதுக்கு முறிச்சேள்
நான் பூஜை பண்ண சொன்னா
நீங்க அகப்பட்டேள் நன்னா} (2)
.......................
கொஞ்சம் சபலம்தாண்டி நேக்கு
அது தெரியாதோ நோக்கு
அட வயச தள்ளு கெடக்கு
நேக்கு வாலிபம்தான் இருக்கு
{What did you think of what I said?
Why are you stretching lazily now?
When I asked you to perform the ritual of love
You got caught so well} (2)
அந்த பேச்செல்லாம் கூடாதுன்னா
என்னால் இனிமேலே ஆகாதுன்னா
அந்த பேச்செல்லாம் கூடாதுன்னா
என்னால் இனிமேலே ஆகாதுன்னா
I have a little temptation, my dear
Don't you know that, my love?
Oh, throw age aside
I still have my youth
நன்னா மூடு வந்துடுத்து.........
{Don't talk like that anymore
I can't take it anymore} (2)
புத்திசாலிகள் காதலித்தார்கள்

A great mood has arrived now

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful duet features an older couple delightfully rediscovering romance and romantic banter in their later years. They humorously argue that age is no barrier to love, asserting that wise people embrace love while others merely waste their time, regardless of whether they are twenty or sixty.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor
“Un pasikku dosai ..aya en pasikku aasa”
Equates physical hunger satisfied by breakfast food (dosa, chutney, sambar) with romantic hunger and affection.
Rhyme (Edhukai / End-Rhyme)
“Aiyyaru kadai naastha / Naan vaangiyaanthen taste-aa”
Playful use of Tanglish rhyming words 'naastha' and 'taste-aa' to build a lively rhythmic tone.
Alliteration (Moonaai)
“Sattiniya thottukoo saambara thaan vittukoo”
Repetition of the initial 'S' sound in 'Sattiniya', 'saambara', and 'sarasam'.
