தின்னாதே என்னை
தின்னாதே தின்னாதே என்னை
தின்னாதே
Don't eat me, don't eat me
Don't eat me, don't eat me
........................................
Aahhaaaa...aaaaaa...
தின்னாதே என்னை
தின்னாதே சுட்டு விழியில்
என்னை சுட்டு தின்னாதே
நீ சைவம் தானே பெண்ணே
என்னை தின்னாதே ஜோடி
கண்ணில் என்னை கொத்தி
ஜோடி மாா்பில் என்னை
குத்தி கொன்றவளே தின்னாதே
என்னை தின்னாதே தின்னாதே
என்னை தின்னாதே
Don't eat me, don't eat me
Don't roast and eat me with your fiery eyes
Aren't you a vegetarian, girl? Don't eat me
Pecking me with a pair of eyes
Oh woman who killed me by stabbing me on your pair of breasts
Don't eat me, don't eat me
Don't eat me, don't eat me
சீ சீ சீ சீ சீ சீ........
சீண்டாதே என்னை சீண்டாதே
தின்னுவதை விடவும் இங்கு
தின்னபடுதல் இன்னும் இன்பம்
அல்லவா அல்லவா சீண்டாதே
என்னை சீண்டாதே
Chee..chee..chee..chee..chee..chee..
Don't tease me, don't tease me
More than eating, being eaten here...
Isn't it even more joyful... isn't it?
Don't tease me, don't tease me
பெண் வாடை அறியாத
முனியாக நானிருந்தேன்
முந்தானை பூவாசம் காட்டி
விட்டாயே
Unaware of a woman's scent
I lived like a hermit
The floral fragrance of your saree end
You showed it to me
ஒரு ஒரு ஒரு
பாவம் அறியாத பூவாக
நான் இருந்தேன் பூ மீது
பெட்ரோலை ஊற்றிவிட்டாயே
An innocent, guiltless
Flower, I used to be
Upon that flower
You poured petrol
பூவுக்குள்ளே தீ
பிடித்தால் கொதிக்க
கொதிக்க தேன் கிடைக்கும்
If fire catches inside a flower
As it boils and boils, honey will be produced
Female: Drink it while it is piping hot
Even when it ends, honey will still ooze
சுட சுட குடித்து
விடு தீா்ந்த பிறகும் தேன்
சுரக்கும்
Throwing a spear called a glance
Killing me and chopping me into pieces
Oh woman who cooks by lighting a stove on her lips...
Don't eat me, don't eat me
Don't eat me, don't eat me
பாா்வை என்னும்
ஈட்டி போட்டு கொன்று
என்னை கூறு போட்டு
உதட்டு மீது அடுப்பு
மூட்டி சமைப்பவளே
தின்னாதே என்னை
தின்னாதே தின்னாதே
என்னை தின்னாதே
Don't tease me, don't tease me
சீண்டாதே
என்னை சீண்டாதே
A hundred great rivers
Flowing within the land
To quench your thirst
You asked for my blood
ஒரு நூறு பேராறு
உள்நாட்டில் ஓடுகையில்
உன் தாகம் தீர என் குருதி
கேட்டாயே
They say there are six tastes
I say there are seven tastes
To mention the taste of lips
They forgot to include it
சுவையாறு என்பாா்கள்
சுவை ஏழு என்பேன் நான் இதழ்
கொண்ட சுவை சொல்ல மறந்து
விட்டாரே
Ah... when the stomach feels hunger
If you give food, it subsides
Female: When the body feels hunger
The more you feed, the more it grows
ஆ… குடலுக்கு பசி
எடுத்தால் உணவு கொடுக்க
அடங்கிவிடும்
Killing me with your beetle-like eyes
Cutting me into pieces with your pinky finger
Oh woman who roasted and cooked me in the warmth of your chest...
உடலுக்கு பசி
எடுத்தால் கொடுக்க
கொடுக்க வளா்ந்துவிடும்
Don't eat me, don't eat me
Don't eat me, don't eat me
வண்டு விழியில்
என்னை கொன்று சுண்டு
விரலில் துண்டு செய்து
மாா்பு சூட்டில் என்னை
சுட்டு சமைத்தவளே
Don't eat, oh don't eat
Don't roast and eat me with your fiery eyes
Aren't you a vegetarian, girl? Don't eat me
Pecking me with a pair of eyes
Oh woman who killed me by stabbing me on your pair of breasts
Don't eat me, don't eat me
Don't eat... don't eat
தின்னாதே என்னை
தின்னாதே தின்னாதே என்னை
தின்னாதே
தின்னாதே ஓ
தின்னாதே சுட்டு விழியில்
என்னை சுட்டு தின்னாதே
நீ சைவம் தானே பெண்ணே
என்னை தின்னாதே ஜோடி
கண்ணில் என்னை கொத்தி
ஜோடி மாா்பில் என்னை
குத்தி கொன்றவளே தின்னாதே
என்னை தின்னாதே தின்னாதே
தின்னாதே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Thinnaathae from the movie Parthen Rasithen (2000) is a playful, sensual romantic duet where the hero teasingly begs his lover not to 'consume' him with her overwhelming beauty and passion. He describes his past life as a peaceful hermit or a gentle flower before she entered, metaphorically setting his heart on fire and overwhelming his senses.

Poetic devices
Metaphor (உருவகம்)
“Paarvai ennum eeti pottu”
Compares her piercing glance to a spear thrown at his heart ('Paarvai ennum eeti').
Hyperbole (உயர்வு நவிற்சி அணி)
“Uthattu meedhu aduppu mooti samaipavalae …”
Exaggerates romantic cooking metaphors by describing lighting a stove upon her lips to cook him.
Alliteration (மோனை)
“Maarbu sootil ennai suttu samaithavalae…”
Repetition of the 'S' sound in 'Suttu' and 'samaithavalae' creates a rhythmic cadence.
