Hey mango cuckoo
Warmth of Margazhi winter sun
He sent you after giving your address
That boy Cupid
ஹோய் மாம்பழ குயிலே
மார்கழி வெய்யிலே
உன் அட்ரெஸ் தந்து அனுப்பி வச்சான்
மன்மத பயலே
Watching from the corner of her eye
The hen that asks me to move aside
To lay eggs for the whole town
You are the hen dedicated as an offering
ஓர சாரம் பார்த்து என்னை
ஒதுங்க சொல்லும் தோழி
நீ ஊருக்கெல்லாம் முட்டை போட
நேந்துவிட்ட கோழி
With the chain used to bind elephants
The mangalsutra should be made
Ah, the boy who comes to tie the knot
Will be exhausted on the wedding night

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Sarakku Vachirukken' is a high-energy folk-pop item song from the 2001 Tamil romantic drama 'Shahjahan'. Featuring vibrant energetic choreography by actor Vijay and actress Meena, the song uses playful double entendres, culinary metaphors (spiced black chicken, sweet halwa), and urban humor to depict an exuberant, celebratory mood.
