பாடல் ஆசிரியர் : விண்ணுலக கவி
Cunning lady, stay away
You are my ultimate headache
I went completely crazy, girl
All the high from alcohol is wearing off now
கேடி லேடி தள்ளி போடி
நீதான் என்னோட தல வலி
மெண்டல் ஆகி போனேன் நாண்டி
அடிச்சது எல்லாமே எறங்குதடி
Ah, dried like a dried fish
She completely changed my life
Hey, without letting me sleep even with my eyes closed
She made me plug my ears
ஹா காஞ்ச கருவாடா
என் லைப் ஆஹ் மாத்திவிட்ட
அடி கண்ண முடியும் தூங்க விடாம
காத போத்த விட்ட
She brought me here and left me stranded
The girl who devoured my heart
Trusting all the words she said
I ended up standing helpless in the middle of the road
என்ன இங்க வந்து நிறுத்தி
என் நெஞ்ச தின்னா ஒருத்தி
அவ சொன்ன வார்த்தையெல்லாம் நம்பி
நானும் நாடு ரோட்டில் நின்னேன்
Hey, life is supposed to be a beautiful feeling, right?
Cute little tiny moments, right?
A fresh romantic duet every single day, right?
But in reality, all of it is just a lie, right?
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு : தெனம் தெனம் உன்தொல்லை
எனக்கு இனிதான் இல்ல
பேபி நீ தான் என் தலவலி
எனக்கு தான் உள்ள
பீலிங்ஸ் லாம் இல்ல
டாடா பை பை டி தலவலி
She said it, she said it
She spoke only the truth
There is no fault in it at all
She just stated what was reality
முனங்கல் : தலவலி தலவலி தலவலி....
My intellect couldn't comprehend it
My heart refused to listen
Go away girl, I don't want you
It is all just my bad fate
ஹே லைப் பே பியூடிபுல் உஹ் பீலிங் தானே
கிடே ஆஹ் குட்டி குட்டி மொமெண்ட்ஸ் தானே
பிரெஷ் ஆஹ் ஒரு டூயட் தானே
ஆனா உண்மையில எல்லாம் பொய்தானே
In love, there is a problem every day
You are a total waste of time
Because of you, I get nothing but tension
Every day life has become a headache
சொன்னாலே சொன்னாலே
உண்மையைத்தான் சொன்னாலே
குத்தம் எதுவும் ஒன்னும் இல்ல
உள்ளதைத்தான் சொன்னாலே
You are my headache, oh my headache
It's all my fate, all my bad fate
Like Tom and Jerry, now you and I are fighting
I don't want you, I don't want you, I don't want you
என் புத்திக்கு தான் ஏறலையே
என் மனசு கேக்கலையே
போடி நீ வேணாம் டி
எல்லாம் என் தலைவிதியே
Cunning lady, stay away
You are my ultimate headache
I went completely crazy, girl
All the high from alcohol is wearing off now
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு : தெனம் தெனம் உன்தொல்லை
எனக்கு இனிதான் இல்ல
பேபி நீ தான் என் தலவலி
எனக்கு தான் உள்ள
பீலிங்ஸ் லாம் இல்ல
டாடா பை பை டி தலவலி
முனங்கல் : தலவலி தலவலி தலவலி....
லவுல எவரிடே ப்ரோப்லேம் தானே
நீயும் ஒட்டுமொத்த வேஸ்ட்டு தானே
உன்னாலே எனக்கு மட்டும் டென்ஷன் தானே
நித்தம் வாழ்க்கை ஒரு தலவலி தானே
நீ என்தலவலி ஐயோ என் தலவலி
எல்லாம் என் தலைவிதி எல்லாம் என் தலைவிதி
டாம் அண்ட் ஜெர்ரி போல இப்போ நீயும் நானும்
வேணாமே வேணாமே நீ எனக்கு வேணாமே
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு : தெனம் தெனம் உன்தொல்லை
எனக்கு இனிதான் இல்ல
பேபி நீ தான் என் தலவலி
எனக்கு தான் உள்ள

டாடா பை பை டி தலவலி
முனங்கல் : தலவலி தலவலி தலவலி....
கேடி லேடி தள்ளி போடி
நீதான் என்னோட தல வலி
மெண்டல் ஆகி போனேன் நாண்டி
அடிச்சது எல்லாமே எறங்குதடி
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு : தெனம் தெனம் உன்தொல்லை
எனக்கு இனிதான் இல்ல
பேபி நீ தான் என் தலவலி
எனக்கு தான் உள்ள

She brought me here and left me stranded
En nenja thinna oruthi
The girl who devoured my heart
Ava sonna varthayellam nambi
Trusting all the words she said

There is no fault in it at all
Ulladhathaan sonnaley
She just stated what was reality

Every day life has become a headache
Nee en thalavali aiyo en thalavali
You are my headache, oh my headache

Kedi lady thalli podi
Cunning lady, stay away
Needhaan ennoda thalavali
You are my ultimate headache
Mental aagi ponen naandi
I went completely crazy, girl
Adichadhu yellaamey eranguthadi
All the high from alcohol is wearing off now
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song is a fast-paced, humorous rant by a husband/partner expressing his overwhelming frustration with his relationship. He describes how his romantic expectations of life being a cute, endless duet were shattered by the reality of constant stress and sleeplessness caused by his partner. He playfully calls her a headache ('Thalavali') and laments his bad fate ('Thalavidhi'), comparing their constant bickering to the classic cartoon dynamic of Tom and Jerry.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Wordplay / Pun (Thalavali - Thalavidhi)
“Nee en thalavali aiyo en thalavali / Ellam en thalavidhi ellam en thalavidhi”
The lyricist cleverly contrasts 'Thalavali' (headache) with 'Thalavidhi' (destiny/fate) to emphasize how his domestic headache feels like an inescapable life curse.
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Hey lifey beautiful'uh feeling dhaaney / Cute ah kutty kutty momentsu dhaaney”
Repeated end rhymes using the suffix 'dhaaney' to establish a catchy rhythm and a rhetorical tone.
Simile (Upamanam)
“Tom and jerry pola ippo neeyum naanum”
Explicitly comparing the couple's constant chasing and fighting dynamic to the iconic cartoon characters Tom and Jerry using 'pola' (like).
Metaphor (Uruvagaim)
“Ahh kaanja karuvada”
Comparing himself to a dried fish ('Kaanja karuvadu') to express how drained and exhausted he feels because of the ongoing situation.
