தப்புத்தண்டா... பண்ணிடுவேன் ஹான்...
தப்புத்தண்டா பண்ணிடுவேன்
கொஞ்சம் தள்ளி நீயும் போடி பெண்ணே
தப்புத்தண்டா பண்ணிடுவேன்
கொஞ்சம் தள்ளி நீயும் போடி பெண்ணே
கிட்ட இருந்தா எண்ணம் கெடுது
கெட்டப் படுக்க என்னச் சுடுது
I will do misdeeds... yes...
I will do misdeeds,
Move away a little, girl!
I will do misdeeds,
Move away a little, girl!
When you are close, thoughts go wild,
The bad bed feels hot and burning.
தப்புத்தண்டா பண்ணிடுவேன்
தப்புத்தண்டா தப்புத்தண்டா
I will do misdeeds,
Misdeeds, misdeeds...
என்ன என்ன தப்புத்தண்டா
நீ பண்ணப் போற அதச் சொல்லி விடு
ஹே என்ன என்ன தப்புத்தண்டா
நீ பண்ணப் போற அதச் சொல்லி விடு
கைய புடிப்ப தொட்டு இழுப்ப
கன்னி மனச கெஞ்சம் கெடுப்ப
What kind of misdeeds,
Are you going to do? Tell me that!
Hey, what kind of misdeeds,
Are you going to do? Tell me that!
Will you hold hands? Pull me close?
Spoil this young girl's heart a little?

What kind of misdeeds,
Are you going to do?
உடுக்கை இட போல
இடுப்பக் கொஞ்சம் பாத்தா
புடிச்சு விடத்தானா
துடிக்கிதிந்தக் கையி
புடிச்சு விடத்தானா
துடிக்கிதிந்தக் கையி
Like the waist of an udukkai drum,
When I look at your waist,
To grab hold of it,
This hand trembles eagerly!
To grab hold of it,
This hand trembles eagerly!
இல்லாத பொல்லாத பேச்செதுக்கு
இப்போது வீண் கேலிப் பாட்டெதுக்கு
ஹான்
துடுப்பா இருந்த என் பூ உடம்பு
அடுப்பாகிப் போயாச்சு பன்மடங்கு
Why speak such non-existent bad talk?
Why sing wasteful mocking songs right now?
Male: Yes!
Female: My flower-like body that was lively,
Has turned into a burning stove manifold!
கேட்டா மயங்குற ஆளில்ல
நீ கேட்டா மறுக்குற ஆளில்ல
எட்டிப் போடி மானே
I am not one to swoon if asked,
And you are not one to refuse if asked!
Step away, my deer-like girl!
தப்புத்தண்டா பண்ணிடுவேன்
கொஞ்சம் தள்ளி நீயும் போடி பெண்ணே
I will do misdeeds,
Move away a little, girl!
அட என்ன என்ன தப்புத்தண்டா
நீ பண்ணப் போற அதச் சொல்லி விடு
Hey, what kind of misdeeds,
Are you going to do? Tell me that!
ஹான் இளங்குருத்து போல
இழுக்குதடி ஆள
எடுத்து விட்ட சேல இருக்குதடி மேல
எடுத்து விட்ட சேல இருக்குதடி மேல
Like a tender shoot,
It pulls a person in,
The draped saree rests on top of you,
The draped saree rests on top of you!
சினிமாவும் டிராமாவும் பாத்ததுண்டு
இதப் போல பல பாட்டு கேட்டதுண்டு
ஹான்
துண்டால எம் மேல் அடிக்காதீங்க
கையால் அடிச்சா சொகமாகுங்க
I have seen cinema and drama,
And heard many songs like this!
Male: Yes!
Female: Don't hit me with a towel,
If hit by hand, it becomes pleasurable!
பொண்ணா இருக்கேன்னு பாக்குறேன்
இல்ல பொடரியிலே ரெண்டு போடுவேன்
இது போதும் போடி
I am being patient because I am a girl,
Otherwise, I will hit you twice on the nape of your neck!
This is enough, get lost!
தப்புத்தண்டா பண்ணிடுவேன்
கொஞ்சம் தள்ளி நீயும் போடி பெண்ணே
தப்புத்தண்டா பண்ணிடுவேன்
கொஞ்சம் தள்ளி நீயும் போடி பெண்ணே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Thapputhandaa' is a playful, romantic duet from the 1987 Tamil movie 'Per Sollum Pillai', featuring a humorous verbal duel between the male and female leads. The male protagonist teasingly warns the female lead that staying too close to him might tempt him into misbehaviour ('thapputhandaa'), urging her to stay away while secretly enjoying her proximity. In response, the female lead mockingly challenges his threats, asking him to clarify what mischievous acts he intends to commit. The song weaves playful banter, romantic tension, and witty retorts, capturing a classic playful courtship dynamic characteristic of 1980s Tamil cinema music.
