You are a block of jaggery,
I am pure gold...
Shall I tell you the wedding date?
O beauty... statue... precious pearl...
O flower... you are my lady...

என் மனச உன்கிட்ட
தந்த தந்த ஏன்டி காட்டுற
பந்தா பந்தா உசுரே
குடுக்குறேன் இந்தா
இந்தா நீ இன்றி எனக்கு
உறவு ஏது
I gave my heart to you, to you,
Why are you showing attitude, attitude?
I am giving my life here, here,
Without you, what relation do I have?
உசுர குடுக்க
வேணா வேணா எதுக்கு
புலம்புற ஆனா ஊனா
தொரத்துனா வருமா
காதல் தானா
நாம் சேர இனி
தடை ஏது
No need to give your life, no need,
Why do you complain at every little thing?
Will love come automatically if you chase it?
Male: What barrier is there for us to unite now?
அடி உனக்கு என்ன
சரியா தெரியாது நான்
வச்சிருக்கும் ஆசையும்
புரியாது என்ன விட
பெட்டரா கிடைக்காது
கிடைச்சாலும் அது
நிலைக்காது
Hey girl, you don't know me properly,
You don't understand the desire I hold,
You won't get anyone better than me,
Even if you get someone, it won't last,
அடி உனக்கு என்ன
சரியா தெரியாது நான்
வச்சிருக்கும் ஆசையும்
புரியாது என்ன விட
பெட்டரா கிடைக்காது
கிடைச்சாலும் கிடைச்சாலும்
ம்ம் அது நிலைக்காது
Hey girl, you don't know me properly,
You don't understand the desire I hold,
You won't get anyone better than me,
Even if you get... get someone...
It won't last...
அய்ய சோப்ப நீ
போடாத சும்மா ஹோப்ப
குடுக்காத நீ சைக்கிள்
கேப்புல தான் லாரி
ஓட்ட நினைக்காத
Hey mister, don't try to butter me up,
Don't just give false hopes,
Don't try to drive a lorry,
Through a cycle gap,
அட ஐஸ வெக்காத
உன் லைஸ்ஸ கொட்டாத
நீ சரக்கே அடிக்காம சும்மா
போதையில் நடிக்காத
Hey, don't try to bribe me with ice,
Don't spill your lies,
Without even drinking liquor,
Don't pretend to be intoxicated...
அடி மயில் இறகே
வாழ்க்கை முழுக்க
உன்னை வருட

Hey peacock feather...
To stroke you throughout your life,
Shall I come as your companion?
ஹே திருட்டழகா
மூனு முடிச்சு எனக்கு
போட போறவன் எவன்

Hey cute thief...
Tying the three knots...
Who is the guy destined to marry me?
என் காதல் கதையை
எழுத நானும் ஆசையோடு
இருக்கேனே
ஹோ அதுல
உனக்கு ஹீரோ சான்ஸு
கிடைக்க நான் விட
மாட்டேனே
To write my love story,
I am also eagerly waiting...
Female: Ho... in that story, giving you the hero chance,
I won't let it happen...

Oh come on,
Should I look for another person?
Female: Hey, better than me,
Will you find a pair?
டவுட்டு தான்
It is a doubt...
வா புள்ள உன் நாயன்
அழகு நாயன் வஞ்சகம் செய்யுது
விடை பெற வேண்டும் வேண்டி
கொள்கிறேன் தவறு தலைவன்
செங்கோல் கண்டாய் இருந்தும்
உவந்து வந்தானா ஆர்வ
நெஞ்சமுண்டு இவ்வேள்வியில்
வெற்றி கண்டவன் யாரு சோம
பானம் நீயடி இன்று போகட்டும்
நாளை வருகுறேன் மூக்குளிச்சான்
முத்தெடுத்தேன் முந்தாநாளும்
இப்படியே நான் பறிச்ச செண்பகமே
நேரம் ஆச்சு போக வேண்டும்
பாட்டுகாரன் பாட்டுகாட்டி ஊர்
கூடி கை தட்டட்டும் மகிழட்டும்
ஆனால் இன்று இரவு மட்டும்
தணிக்க வேண்டும் வேண்டும்
வேண்டும்
Come... girl,
Your beautiful eye,
Does eye trickery...
I need to bid farewell,
I apologize if it was a mistake,
You saw the leader's scepter,
Yet I came joyfully,

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Unakkaaga' from Sakka Podu Podu Raja is a playful, romantic duet involving flirty banter between the male and female leads. The male protagonist expresses his deep affection and desire to marry his beloved, claiming that no one can love her better than him. The female lead playfully teases him, telling him not to flatter her with empty words or false hopes. As the song progresses, the tone shifts into a blend of modern slang and classical Tamil metaphors, where both express their deep romantic attachment and commitment to being together.
