வா வா மைசூரு மல்லியே
இன்பவல்லியே
ஆஹா.....அன்புக் குயில் நீதான்டி
அந்தி வெய்யில் நிறம்தான்டி.....
பச்சைக்கிளி போலே இருக்கிறே நீ.....
பச்சரிசி போலே சிரிக்கிறே......
Come, come, my Mysore jasmine,
Creeper of happiness!
Aahaa... You are a loving cuckoo,
Having the shade of the evening sun,
You are like a green parrot...
You laugh like raw white rice...
அட வா வா முந்நூறு மில்லியே
ஜோடி இல்லையே
ஆஹா அண்டங்காக்கா நீதான்டி
அட்டக்கரி நிறம்தான்டி........
பத்ரகாளி போலே இருக்கிறே நீ......
வில்லன்களை போலே சிரிக்கிறே........
Hey come, come, three-hundred-milli man,
You have no match!
Aahaa, you are a raven-black crow,
With the color of charcoal powder,
You look like Goddess Bhadrakali,
You laugh like trouble itself!
இன்னும் என்ன சொல்லிடு கண்ணா
மல்லிகையை கிள்ளிடு மன்னா
துள்ளுது உள்ளம் கிள்ள கிள்ள
Tell me what else, my dear,
Pluck the jasmine, my king,
My heart leaps up when you pinch me,
பொல்லாத கில்லாடி நீதான்
ஒட்டாதே ஒரசாதே
You are a wicked clever player!
Don't stick, don't rub against me,
ஆஹா.....ஹா.....ஆஹா.....ஹா.....
Aahaa... haa... aahaa... haa...
சிலம்பொலி போலே சிரிக்கிறே பொண்ணு
கலைமானின் இனம்தானோ உன் கண்ணு.....
Girl, you laugh like tinkling anklets,
Are your eyes from the breed of a stag?
இடி போலே சிரிக்கிறே பொண்ணு
கோட்டானின் இனம்தானோ உன் கண்ணு.....
Girl, you laugh like thunder,
Are your eyes from the breed of an owl?
என்னை நீ புகழாதே
இளநெஞ்சு தாங்காதே
நாளும் நீ என்னை நீங்காதே
Do not praise me like this,
My young heart cannot bear it,
Do not leave me on any day,
அடி நீதான்டி சண்டைக்காரி
எலிவாலு கொண்டக்காரி
Hey, you are a quarrelsome woman,
The lady with a bun like a rat's tail,
விளையாட வா......மாமா........
Come to play, uncle...
அட வா வா முந்நூறு மில்லியே
ஜோடி இல்லையே
ஆஹா அண்டங்காக்கா நீதான்டி
அட்டக்கரி நிறம்தான்டி........
பத்ரகாளி போலே இருக்கிறே நீ......
வில்லன்களை போலே சிரிக்கிறே........
Hey come, come, three-hundred-milli man,
You have no match!
Aahaa, you are a raven-black crow,
With the color of charcoal powder,
You look like Goddess Bhadrakali,
You laugh like trouble itself!
மழை முகில் போலே கூந்தலைக் கண்டேன்
பெண்ணே நீ பொன்னிலவு தெரியாதா
I saw hair like rain-bearing clouds,
Girl, don't you know you are the golden moon?
தார்ச்சட்டி போலே தலைமுடி கண்டேன்
பெண்ணே நீ பேய்தானே புரியாதா
I saw hair like a tar pot,
Girl, don't you realize you are a devil?
அன்பே நீ பாராட்டு
என்னைத்தான் சீராட்டு
My love, praise me,
Pamper me well,
போதும் உன் பாட்டை நிப்பாட்டு
Enough, stop your song!
அடி கிளி மூக்கு ஒய்யாரி
என் சளி மூக்கு சிங்காரியே
Hey graceful one with a parrot nose,
My beautiful lady with a runny nose,
உறவாட வா......மாமா.......
Come to mingle, uncle...
போய்யா முந்நூறு மில்லியே
புத்தி இல்லையே
ஆஹா....உன்னக் கண்டு மிரளாத
சின்னப் பொண்ணு கிடையாது
உன் அழகு நான்தான் பாடவா...
நான்.....உன்னை கண்டு ஓடி ஒளியவா.......
Go away, three-hundred-milli man,
You have no sense,
Aahaa... there is no young girl
Who wouldn't be frightened seeing you!
Shall I sing of your beauty?
Or shall I run and hide seeing you?
அட வா வா முந்நூறு மில்லியே
ஜோடி இல்லையே
ஆஹா அண்டங்காக்கா நீதான்டி
அட்டக்கரி நிறம்தான்டி........
பத்ரகாளி போலே இருக்கிறே நீ......
வில்லன்களை போலே சிரிக்கிறே........
Hey come, come, three-hundred-milli man,
You have no match!
Aahaa, you are a raven-black crow,
With the color of charcoal powder,
You look like Goddess Bhadrakali,
You laugh like trouble itself!

துள்ளுது உள்ளம் கிள்ள கிள்ள
Tell me what else, my dear,
Pluck the jasmine, my king,
My heart leaps up when you pinch me,
பொல்லாத கில்லாடி நீதான்
ஒட்டாதே ஒரசாதே

Don't stick, don't rub against me,

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful duet features humorous banter between a man and a woman who poke fun at each other's appearance and quirks while expressing their underlying affection. The hero praises the heroine using traditional romantic metaphors (like jasmine, parrot, and rain clouds), while she hilariously responds by comparing his dark complexion to charcoal and crows, teasing his drinking habits, and comparing his hair to a tar pot.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Uvamaani (Simile)
“Pachchai kili polae irukkirae nee….”
Comparing the heroine's smile and green hue to raw rice and a green parrot ('Pachchai kili polae', 'Pachcharisi polae').
Contrast / Irony
“Aahaa andangkaakaa needhaandi”
The male lead praises her beauty using elevated classical similes, while the female lead parodies these praises with comical insult metaphors ('andangkaakaa', 'attakkari', 'thaarchatti').
Anaphora / Repetition
“Ada vaa vaa munnooru millayae”
Repetition of words like 'Vaa vaa' and 'killa killa' to add rhythmic emphasis and musical tempo.
