We slaughtered a tender young chicken,
and cooked it up in so many tasty ways!
Aah... aah... aah... aah...
You came to satisfy our hunger,
oh sweet treat shop!
Chorus: Our
sweet treat shop!
We won't just touch you for no reason,
but once you come to us, we won't let you go!
If we set our hearts on you, you're ours!
Haan...
We won't just touch you for no reason,
but once you come to us, we won't let you go!
If we set our hearts on you, you're ours!
Haan...
If I make up my mind,
it is as good as done!
If I set my heart on it,
it will definitely happen!
We won't just touch you for no reason,
but once you come to us, we won't let you go!
If we set our hearts on you, you're ours!
If I make up my mind,
it is as good as done!
If I set my heart on it,
it will definitely happen!
To every girl with flowers in her hair,
we will be the suitors!
Male: For every lovely new girl here,
we will adore and cherish her!
Both: We will lay down a soft mattress,
and sing our songs so sweetly!
Just a single look at girls is enough,
it makes us completely dizzy with delight!
Male: Only after asking this groom,
you should drape your half-sari!
A girl who doesn't yield to my charm
isn't a girl at all!
Male: Something that escapes my eye
does not exist at all!
Male: My darling, what I said
is not a lie!
Male: You are not an innocent girl
who knows nothing of the world!
Both: Hey little deer, place your wedding garland on me!
We won't just touch you for no reason,
but once you come to us, we won't let you go!
If we set our hearts on you, you're ours!
If I make up my mind,
it is as good as done!
If I set my heart on it,
it will definitely happen!
We won't just touch you for no reason,
but once you come to us, we won't let you go!
If we set our hearts on you, you're ours!
If I make up my mind,
it is as good as done!
If I set my heart on it,
it will definitely happen!
If I set my heart on it,
it will definitely happen!
...
We are going to splash turmeric water on you,
and you will get completely drenched!
Male: Don't stay in wet clothes, girl,
we'll give you dry ones to wear!
Both: Is your half-sari feeling too heavy?
Come step aside with us, girl!
You need to cooperate with us, girl,
no need to run away!
Male: Is it painful or a loss?
Come gladly of your own free will, girl!
An egg-laying hen,
I will bring for you!
Male: A gentle ram that doesn't butt,
I will give you three of them, hoy!
Male: A two-strand gold chain,
I will give you!
Male: Two acres of fertile wetland and dryland,
I will give you!
Both: Now look at your groom's lucky fortune!
We won't just touch you for no reason,
but once you come to us, we won't let you go!
If we set our hearts on you, you're ours!
If I make up my mind,
it is as good as done!
If I set my heart on it,
it will definitely happen!
Ayyayyayyo!
We won't just touch you for no reason,
but once you come to us, we won't let you go!
If we set our hearts on you, you're ours!
If I make up my mind,
it is as good as done!
Chorus: If I set my heart on it,
it will definitely happen!

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This energetic rural track from the movie 'Muthal Vasantham' (1986) showcases playful teasing and celebratory banter in a traditional Tamil village setting. The lyrics feature male protagonists boasting about their determination, generosity, and influence within the village community. Through local metaphors of feast preparations, livestock offerings (hens and rams), and land ownership, the singers attempt to charm and woo local women while asserting their rightful social role as eligible grooms ('maaman').
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Emonai (Second-letter rhyme)
“Summaa thodavum maattom / Vandhaa vidavum maattom”
In Tamil poetry, matching second letters in adjacent lines creates rhythmic harmony. Here, 'thodavum' and 'vidavum' match the second letter 'da' (ட).
Monaai (Alliteration / Initial Rhyme)
“Poo vecha ponnukkellaam / Male :Pudhusaana ponnukkinga / Pooja seivom”
Matching the initial letter 'P' across consecutive words creates a strong folk rhythm.
Rural Metaphor & Imagery
“Rendu acre nanja punja / Naan Thaaraen”
The lyrics use rich agricultural imagery like 'Vedakozhi' (country chicken), 'aattu kadaa' (ram), and 'nanja punja' (fertile/dry farmland) to reflect authentic rural Tamil culture.
