தத்தா தரும்
தேகம் பரிரு நதுனா
தத்தா தரும் பாதம்
பரரு திருரா
Body that gives rhythm
Pariru nathuna
Feet that step to the rhythm
Pararu thirura
வா வா காமா
இங்கு யார் தான் ராமா
கொன்றால் பாவம்
என்னை தின்றால்
தீரும்
Come, come Cupid
Who here is virtuous like Rama?
Killing is a sin
But devouring me will absolve it
கொடி விட்டு இள
மொட்டு துடிக்காதா மதன
விரல் பட்டு வெடிக்காதா
இடை தொட்டு புது மெட்டு
படிக்காதா உல்லாசனே
Won't the young bud quiver, leaving the vine?
Won't it burst open at the touch of Cupid's finger?
Won't you touch the waist and compose a new tune?
Oh joyful one...
வா வா காமா
இங்கு யார் தான் ராமா
கொன்றால் பாவம்
என்னை தின்றால்
தீரும்
Come, come Cupid
Who here is virtuous like Rama?
Killing is a sin
But devouring me will absolve it
தரா ரா
ஹா ஆஹா
Thara raa....
Haaa…ahaaaa….
நூறு வகை சுகம்
காணலாம் நூலிடையில்
பொருள் தேடலாம்
பயமென்ன கூடவா
வீர சூரா
One can experience a hundred types of pleasure
One can search for meaning in the thread-thin waist
Why fear? Come closer
Oh brave warrior
ஆடை என்னும்
பாரம் தேவையா ஆணையிடு
சேவை பாரையா யார் இவள்
பூ மகள் வண்ண ரோஜா
Is the burden called clothing really necessary?
Command me and watch my service, sir
Who is she? A flower-like maiden
A colorful rose
உருகிட விடு
ஹோ புது ரசம் எடு
ஹோ பருகிட நீதான்
நீ ராஜா சித்திர பார்வை
நான் நித்திய போதை
நான்
Let it melt... ho
Extract new juice... ho
Drink it up, oh lotus-like handsome one
I am a picturesque glance
I am eternal intoxication
இந்நாள் போனா
ஒரு பொன்நாள் வாரா
காமம் தீயா என் காவல்
நீயா
Once today passes
Will a golden day return?
Is desire a fire?
Are you my guardian?
பகல் என்றும்
இரவென்றும் கிடையாது
பருவ சுகம் கொள்ள தடை
ஏது இளம் கன்று பலம்
கொண்டு விளையாடு
சொல்லாமலே
There is no distinction
Between day and night
What obstacle is there to enjoying youthful bliss?
Play like a young calf using full strength
Without even saying a word...
ஆசை நதி கரை
மீறலாம் ஆண்டவனும்
இதில் சேரலாம் என்னை
அள்ளி சூடவா மார்பின்
மேலே ஆணவரை நீந்தும்
தேகமே ஆயுள் வரை காணும்
மோகமே கூடலில் பூவுடல்
வீணை போலே
The river of desire may overflow its banks
Even God can join in this
Gather me and wear me upon your chest
A body that swims as long as it can
Infatuation that lasts for a lifetime
In union, the flower-like body is like a Veena
தழுவிடு என்னை
ஹோ ததும்பிடும் சுவை
ஹா நழுவிடும் நூலாடை
தானே மல்லிகை சோலை
நான் மன்மத லீலை நான்
தர ரர த ட டா தர ரர த ட
டா
Embrace me... ho
Overflowing taste... ha
The slender clothing slips away on its own
I am a jasmine garden
I am Cupid's playful sport
Thara rara tha ta taa
Thara rara tha ta taa

Body that gives rhythm
Pariru nathuna

Thathaa tharum paadham

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from Thamizh Padam 2.0 serves as a hilarious parody of vintage 1980s Tamil cinema seduction and item numbers. The lyrics feature standard sensual tropes where the female dancer invites the hero to cast aside righteousness (represented by Lord Rama) and embrace worldly desire (represented by Kaama, the God of Love). Through elaborate and melodramatic metaphors involving flowers, thin waists, veenas, and overflowing rivers of desire, the song spoofs the poetic exaggeration common in classic retro Tamil dance tracks.
Writing craft

Trivia
