Having slept all alone for so long,
I have gotten used to it.
Now, if I sleep beside a companion,
sleep just won't come to me!
Having slept all alone for so long,
I have gotten used to it.
Now, if I sleep beside a companion,
sleep just won't come to me!
Hey my gentle deer,
I don't want your scent near me!
Shying away, twisting, and shrinking back,
don't you hug me, darling!
Even if you have gotten used to
sleeping all alone,
what would you ever lose
if you sleep beside a companion here?
Will you lose anything?
Hey, will you lose anything?
Will you lose anything?
Well-mannered and disciplined,
I am a boy from a good family,
I have no bad habits at all!
Why look at me with such loaded eyes?
Womanhood should show some restraint!
A poem upon the bed—
try setting it to a tune!
To put a child in a cradle,
try touching and getting used to it!
To teach you lessons,
this young girl is ready!
No, no, please no!
Don't put on such an act!
Without even touching this blooming flower,
I don't want any lessons in love!
Even if you have gotten used to
sleeping all alone,
what would you ever lose
if you sleep beside a companion here?
Having slept all alone for so long,
I have gotten used to it.
Now, if I sleep beside a companion,
sleep just won't come to me!
Like the crowd gathered outside
watching TV on a holiday,
with deep excitement in their hearts
to watch an MGR movie,
an intimate scene—
that's meant to be censored, right?
A tender, touching scene—
is it only for you to watch and crave?
A free movie show—
is watching it
where your pleasure lies?
No, no, please no!
Don't put on such an act!
Without even touching this blooming flower,
I don't want any lessons in love!
Even if you have gotten used to
sleeping all alone,
what would you ever lose
if you sleep beside a companion here, hey?
Even if you have gotten used to
sleeping all alone,
what would you ever lose
if you sleep beside a companion here?
Krishna, oh my Krishna,
sing me a song!
Shying away, twisting, and shrinking back,
don't leave me and go, my Krishna!
Having slept all alone for so long,
I have gotten used to it.
Now, if I sleep beside a companion,
sleep just won't come to me!
Hey my gentle deer,
I don't want your scent near me,
my sweet honey, hey...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This playful duettish track revolves around a comic-romantic conflict between the lead couple. The male protagonist humorously complains that having slept alone all his life, sharing a bed with his newly wedded partner keeps him wide awake. He jokingly pleads for space and claims to be a well-mannered boy devoid of vices who is intimidated by sudden intimacy.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Asonance and Internal Rhyme (Iyaibu / Monai)

Nee naani koni kooni kurugi

The line uses a series of rhyming action verbs ('naani koni kooni kurugi') to emphasize bashfulness and shrinking back in a rhythmic manner.

Repetition for Emphasis (Anaphora)

Thaniyaaga paduthu paduthu

The phrase 'paduthu paduthu' repeats the action of lying down to emphasize long-standing habituation.

Metaphor

Kanni poovai theendaamae

The term 'kanni poovai' compares a young virgin female to a delicate flower.
