Charmed by your sweet smile,
if all the flowers ask to borrow it,
what shall I do? What shall I do? What shall I do?
Admiring your eyelashes,
if even the peacock asks to borrow them,
what shall I do? What shall I do? What shall I do?
If the sun asks for your shadow,
if the full moon asks for your complexion,
if the jasmine asks for your scent,
if the gentle breeze asks for your breath,
and they all cry that I must give them away,
what shall I do? What shall I do? What shall I do?
What will I do? What will I do? What will I do?
Charmed by your sweet smile,
if all the flowers ask to borrow it,
what shall I do? What shall I do? What shall I do?
For the dimples that appear on both your cheeks,
if a cashew asks for them, what shall I do?
Female: If it is you who asks for them, my love,
Male: then plant a kiss right there!
If a lotus bud asks for your palm
as a place to rest, what shall I do?
Female: If it is you who asks for it, my love,
Male: then give it only to me!
{If God asks for
all your devotion, what shall I do?} (2)
Give it all completely to me and only me!
Female: Aahaa... aaaa...
Charmed by your sweet smile,
if all the flowers ask to borrow it,
what shall I do? What shall I do? What shall I do?
Admiring your eyelashes,
if even the peacock asks to borrow them,
what shall I do? What shall I do? What shall I do?
...
For the chance to praise your beauty,
if Tamil poets ask for it, what shall I do?
Female: If you ask for that chance, my love,
Male: then grant it right away!
For the joy of living on your forehead
as a bindi (forehead mark), if a star asks, what shall I do?
Female: If you, the soul of my life, ask for it,
Male: then give it without hesitation!
{To walk with you all through your life,
if Time asks for that, what shall I do?} (2)
Give that to me, who was born only for you!
Female: Aahaa... aaaa...
Charmed by your sweet smile,
if all the flowers ask to borrow it,
what shall I do? What shall I do? What shall I do?
Admiring your eyelashes,
if even the peacock asks to borrow them,
what shall I do? What shall I do? What shall I do?
You are the apple of my eye,
you are the line on my palm,
you are the moisture on my lips,
you are the dawn after my night,
My feelings, my body, and my soul—
I have given them to you, given them to you, given them to you!
Given them to you, given them to you, given them to you!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'Un Punnagai Kandu Mayangi' from the movie Ezhumalai (2002) is a melodious romantic duet featuring playful hyperbole and deep affection between the leads. The song revolves around a romantic dilemma where the hero wonders what to do if elements of nature—such as flowers, the sun, full moon, breeze, and stars—demand to borrow the heroine's smile, scent, skin tone, or beauty. In reply, the heroine lovingly directs all her attributes and devotion exclusively to her lover, declaring that her entire existence, body, and soul belong solely to him.
