(Humming...)
She who can bend even the epic Valayapathi
With the tinkling music of her bangles,
Leaving even the epic Kundalakesi bewildered,
A beauty shaped like a temple's sacred spire,
A beauty shaped like a temple's sacred spire,
A companion to the wisdom of Kondrai Vendhan,
The girl with the tinkling sound of bangles,
A sweet honeybee humming the Kurinji song,
Her flower-soft feet walking in graceful measures,
Showering the sweet honey of righteous ways,
As the gaze of the one adorned like Manimekalai
Works thousands of wondrous charms like Muthollayiram,
Like the classic verses of Kalithogai and Kurunthogai,
Are this young woman's two lovely arms,
Even the grand epic Kalingathu Parani
Celebrates her breathtaking beauty,
Oh oh oh... Oh haha...
A beauty with a waist as slender as Thirukkural,
A beauty with a slender waist, a slender waist,
A beauty with speech as sweet as Thiruvasagam,
A beauty with speech as sweet as Thiruvasagam,
A, Aa, I, Ee, U, Oo, E, Ae... O, Oh...
A, Aa, I, Ee, U, Oo, E, Ae... O, Oh...
Metrical units of Thema and Pulima, rhythms and feet,
The radiant smile of this poetic maiden of Venba and Kalipa,
A, Aa, I, Ee, U, Oo, E, Ae... O, Oh...
A, Aa, I, Ee, U, Oo, E, Ae... O, Oh...
(Humming...)
With lips expressing intimate love like Aganaanooru,
She creates sweet nectar, this lovely girl,
With eyebrows striking like the warrior verse of Puranaanooru,
She wages sweet battles of love,
She wages sweet battles of love,
The maiden of the grand epic Madurai Kanchi,
The girl who creates sweet nectar,
The maiden of the longing poem Nedunalvaadai,
As long and epic as the Ramayanam
Is her flowing long hair,
With a neat parting as pure as Nala Venba,
Lingering in the heart like the melody of Paripaadal,
Expressing endless graceful gestures, full of poetic beauty,
Like the sweet verses of Natrinai and Narunthogai,
Is this lovely maiden's radiant smile,
Even the classic verses of Ainthinai Aimpathu
Celebrate her arrival,
Oh oh oh... Oh haha...
A beauty with a waist as slender as Thirukkural,
A beauty with a slender waist, a slender waist,
A beauty with speech as sweet as Thiruvasagam,
A beauty with speech as sweet as Thiruvasagam,
A beauty with a graceful walk like Silappathikaram,
A beauty with a graceful walk like Silappathikaram,
A beauty with eyes as enchanting as Seevaga Chinthamani,
Beautiful in speech, graceful in her walk,
Beautiful in eyes, beautiful in speech, graceful in her walk,
A beauty with a waist as slender as Thirukkural,
A beauty with speech as sweet as Thiruvasagam... so beautiful,
Haha...

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This unique song from Thirumathi Tamizh is a creative homage to both classical Tamil literature and feminine grace. The lyricist metaphorically maps the anatomy and beauty of a woman to famous works of Tamil literature, grammar rules, prosody (Yappu Grammar), and alphabets. Her waist is compared to Thirukkural (slender and concise), her words to Thiruvasagam (sweet and sacred), her walk to Silappatikaram (grand narrative walk), her eyes to Seevagasindhamani, and her smile to ancient poetic meters like Venba.

Trivia
This track is a rare concept song in Tamil cinema music where legendary singer S. P. Balasubrahmanyam sings lyrics that seamlessly blend almost all major Sangam literature texts (Eight Anthologies, Ten Idylls, Five Great Epics) and Tamil prosody rules into a romantic praise of a woman.
