தத்தித்தை தாவும் தத்தை நான்
முத்தத்தை தூவும் மெத்தை நான்
சித்தத்தை சேரும் வித்தை நான்
மொத்தத்தில் காதல் தத்தை நான்
இன்ப கேளிக்கைதான்
இங்கு வாடிக்கைத்தான்.....
இன்ப கேளிக்கைதான்
இங்கு வாடிக்கைத்தான்.....
ஹோய்......ஹோய்.....ஹோய் ஹோய் ஹோய்

Hoi ...hoi ...hoi hoi hoi
உள்ளூர கள்ளூறும் கன்னம் இருக்க
இதை உண்டாலும் கண்டாலும் போதை வரும்
செவ்வாயில் தென்பாண்டி முத்து பதிக்க
இந்த பொன் மேனி பூ மேனி கோடி பெறும்
With cheeks that secretly brew intoxication inside
Tasting it or just seeing it brings extreme bliss
With southern ocean pearls set in rosy red lips
This golden body and floral frame is worth millions
தேக்கோஜி ஏக் ஷராபி தோ குலாபி
தில் திவானா ஹை
ஆவோஜி இஸ் தேரே பாஸ் ஜிஸ்தேரே பாஸ்
இஸ் ஹமாரா ஹை ஆஆ....ஆஆ...
ஹை ஹை ஹை ஹை ஆஆ......ஆஅ.....ஆ....
Look here, one drunkard and two pink roses
The heart has gone crazy
Come closer, come near me on this side
This belongs to us, ah ah
Hai hai hai hai aaaaa...aaaa....aa....
அம்மாடி ஆசை பொல்லாது
யாரோடும் நேரில் சொல்லாது
சொல்லாமல் ஏக்கம் தீராது
சொன்னாலும் தூக்கம் வாராது
இன்ப கேளிக்கைதான்
இங்கு வாடிக்கைத்தான்
இன்ப கேளிக்கைதான்
இங்கு வாடிக்கைத்தான்
Oh girl, romantic desire is wicked and cruel
It never reveals itself directly to anyone
Without expressing it, longing will not subside
Yet even if expressed, sleep will not come
Pleasurable play and entertainment

Pleasurable play and entertainment

எல்லோரும் என் வாசல் நித்தம் வருக
வந்து உல்லாச வெள்ளத்தில் நீந்திடுக
பொன்னாக பூவாக அள்ளித் தருக
மதுக் கிண்ணத்தை கையோடு ஏந்திடுக
May everyone come to my doorstep every single day
Come and swim freely in the flood of delight
Gather and shower affection like gold and flowers
Hold the wine cup high in your hands
ஏமண்டி பாபுகாரு
கோபுகாரு பாகுண்னரா
சூடண்டி சிண்டி பிள்ள மஞ்சி பிள்ள

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This exuberant dance number from the 1982 film 'Poi Satchi' features a cabaret dancer or performer welcoming her patrons into a world of joy, music, and romance. She describes herself as a vibrant embodiment of beauty and charm, inviting everyone to set aside their worries, indulge in wine, and submerge themselves in an atmosphere of pure indulgence.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Ethirai (Second-letter Rhyme)
“Thaththithai thaavum thaththai naan”
The second letters 'th' in 'Thaththithai', 'Muththathai', 'Siththathai', and 'Moththathil' create a rhythmic Tamil rhyme scheme across the opening stanza.
Metaphor (Uruvagaimai)
“Thaththithai thaavum thaththai naan”
The singer compares herself directly to a hopping parrot ('thaththai naan'), a comforting bed ('meththai naan'), and a soulful art ('viththai naan').
Multilingual Code-Switching
“Yemandi babugaaru gopugaaru”
Vaali brilliantly incorporates Hindi ('Dhekoji ek sharabhi'), Telugu ('Yemandi babugaaru'), and Kannada ('Subbanna illi nodu') phrases to emphasize a cosmopolitan club atmosphere.
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Ammaadi aasai polladhu”
Rhyming word endings 'polladhu', 'sollathu', 'theerathu', and 'vaaradhu' enhance the lyrical flow of the verse.
