திருட்டு பயலே
அவ திருடி போயிட்டா
வறட்டு நெஞ்ச
அவ வருடி போயிட்டா
O thief fellow!
She stole my heart and left.
My dry heart,
She caressed and left.
திருட்டு பயலே
அவ திருடி போயிட்டா
வறட்டு நெஞ்ச
அவ வருடி போயிட்டா
O thief fellow!
She stole my heart and left.
My dry heart,
She caressed and left.
பத்துதூணு பக்கத்துல
பால் ஐஸ்-யு வாங்கி
பக்குவமா ரெண்டு பேரும்
மாத்தி கடிச்சோம்
Near the tenth pillar,
Buying a milk ice pop,
Carefully, both of us,
Took turns biting it.
அவ பாத்தாலே
பச்சத்தண்ணி பத்திக்கிரும்
அவ பேச்சாலே
சித்ததெரும்பும் சிக்கிகிரும்
If she merely looks,
Even cold water catches fire!
By her words alone,
Even tiny ants get trapped!
சங்கிலி வாங்கி கேட்டா
அத்து தான் கொடுத்தேன்
தொங்கட்டான் காதுல போடா
தொன்னூறு காத பார்த்தேன்
When she asked for a chain,
I broke/snapped one and gave it to her.
To put dangling earrings on her ears,
I searched for ninety pierced ears!
திருட்டு பயலே
அவ திருடி போயிட்டா
வறட்டு நெஞ்ச
அவ வருடி போயிட்டா
O thief fellow!
She stole my heart and left.
My dry heart,
She caressed and left.
திருட்டு பயலே

O thief fellow!
She stole my heart and left.

ஏட்டம்மா போலே தான்
அழகா இருப்பா
உங்கள போல
என் மாமா மொரைப்பார்
Just like Goddess Yellamma,
She looks so beautiful.
Just like you,
My uncle glares fiercely.
Like the shade of a police baton,
She possesses a rich dark skin tone.
If I commit a mistake,
She strikes me with her eyes.
லத்தி கலராட்டம்
அவளும் இருப்பாளே
தப்பு செஞ்சா
அவ கண்ணாலடிப்பா
Just at the touch of her pinky finger,
I shattered into tiny fragments.
The moment both her hands touched me,
I forgot my own existence.
அவ சுண்டு விரல் தொட்டதுக்கே
சில்லு சில்லு தெரிச்சேன்
அவ ரெண்டு கையும் பட்டதுமே
என்னையே மறந்தேன்
Though I have mastered,
Many tricks of hand,
Only inside her heart,
I got trapped completely.
நான் எத்தனையோ
கை வாசம் காட்டுகிறேன்
அவ நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள மட்டும் தான்
மாட்டிகிட்டேன்
Like different logs of firewood,
Burning in her memories,
Like a rich grain of seed paddy,
She dissolved into my soul.
விற விற விறகாக
நெனப்புல எரிஞ்சா
வெத நெல்லு மணி போல
உசுருல கலந்தா
O thief fellow!
She stole my heart and left.
My dry heart,
She caressed and left.
திருட்டு பயலே
அவ திருடி போயிட்டா
வரட்டு நெஞ்ச
அவ வருடி போயிட்டா
O thief fellow!
She stole my heart and left.
My dry heart,
She caressed and left.
திருட்டு பயலே
அவ திருடி போயிட்டா
வரட்டு நெஞ்ச
அவ வருடி போயிட்டா
Near the tenth pillar,
Buying a milk ice pop,
Carefully, both of us,
Took turns biting it.
பாத்துதூனு பக்கத்துல
பால் ஐஸ்-யு வாங்கி
பக்குவமா ரெண்டு பேரும்
மாத்தி கடைச்சோம்
If she merely looks,
Even cold water catches fire!
By her words alone,
Even tiny ants get trapped!
அவ பாடலே
பச்சத்தண்ணி பாத்திக்கிறம்
அவ பீச்சாலே
சித்தரௌம்பும் சிக்கிகிரும்
When she asked for a chain,
I broke/snapped one and gave it to her.
To put dangling earrings on her ears,
I searched for ninety pierced ears!
சங்கிலி வாங்கி கீதா
அது தான் கொடுத்தேன்
தொங்கட்டான் காத்துல போடா
தூனுறு கதை பார்த்தேன்
திருட்டு பயலே
அவ திருடி போயிட்டா
வறட்டு நெஞ்ச
அவ வருடி போயிட்டா
திருட்டு பயலே
அவ திருடி போயிட்டா
வறட்டு நெஞ்ச
அவ வருடி போயிட்டா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This track is a folk romantic ballad sung from the perspective of a young man hopelessly enamored with his beloved. He playfully describes her charm, beauty, and endearing dominance over him. Despite claiming to be a rogue or sly person himself, he admits that she easily outsmarted him and stole his heart, soothing his once hardened spirit. The song highlights innocent romantic memories such as sharing a single ice pop, being captivated by her fierce eyes, and feeling completely melted by her simple touch.
