முடிக்க முடிக்க இன்னும் கேட்கும்
ஆஹா கேட்கும் ஆஹா கேட்கும்

Old grievances will be forgotten.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful song from the film Dr. Siva (1975) depicts a husband humorously trying to cajole and pacify his upset wife. He admits his forgetfulness caused them to miss a movie, leading to her anger, and pleads that the punishment she has given him so far is more than sufficient. He then transitions into sweet, romantic teasing and affectionate promises to make amends during the night, assuring her that all grievances will vanish once they embrace.
