ஓயாம வுட்டுபுடி
சாயாம கட்டிப்புடி நீ
தொட்டா உள்ளுக்குள்ள
பத்திக்கிது
Hold tight without letting go,
Embrace closely without leaning away,
The moment you touch me, a spark ignites within!
நீ தான வாழத்தண்டு
மிரளாத என்ன கண்டு
நார்நாரா என் மனசு
சிக்கிக்கிது
You are like a tender banana stem,
Seeing me undisturbed and bold,
My heart gets shredded into fine fibers!
பட்ட கிளப்புது
பட்டைசோறு காரம்
தெரிக்கிது இஞ்சி சாறு
வளையாங் குருவிக்கு
புடவை சறுக்குது கிட்ட
போனதுமே ஆள உாிக்கிது
Tasted rice creates a grand sensation,
Ginger juice splashes spicy heat!
The saree slips off the bird adorned with bangles,
The moment you come close, it strips away composure!

Do not ask to do it now!
I have spoken everything that was in my heart,
Do not take my words in a wrong way!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a high-energy Tamil dappankuthu and local folk number from the film Enakku Innoru Per Irukku. The lyrics express playful banter, energetic dancing, and passionate affection between lovers using colloquial North Chennai slang and traditional folk rhythmic beats (Kuthu beats). The male protagonist celebrates the charm, beauty, and fiery attitude of his partner while boasting about his own strength and endurance.
