Come, come, come...
If you won't come, go, go, go!
Hey, hey, hey... give, give, give!
If you won't give, go, go, go!
Hey, hey, hey... my sister is your mother,
your mother is my sister!
That is why I'll marry you!
My father is your uncle,
your uncle is my father!
That is why I accept you!
Sweet little Ammulu,
pretty little doll,
cute little Apple,
you are the one, baby!
Sweet little Ammulu,
pretty little doll,
cute little Apple,
you are the one, baby!
Hey, come, come, come...
If you won't come, go, go, go!
Hey, hey, hey... give, give, give!
If you won't give, go, go, go!
(Go... go, go, go,
go... go, go, go...)
Oh, when your
sharp tooth grazed me,
through every single nerve,
I went numb with tingles!
Oh, when I saw
your shapely calves,
my mind completely
got scrambled!
When bangles move on the wrist,
they make a sweet sound,
but because of you, the urge comes
to break them in an embrace!
Looking at any other girl,
I feel like talking,
but looking at you alone,
desire takes over!
Desire has arrived,
all fear has vanished!
The right time has come
for our two hearts to be tied together!
Sweet little Ammulu,
pretty little doll,
cute little Apple,
you are the one, baby!
Sweet little Ammulu,
pretty little doll,
cute little Apple,
you are the one, baby!
Into the cashew grove,
will you come with me?
Female: No way, you will
roast me and eat me up!
Towards the village stream,
will you come for a bit?
Female: No way, you will
pull me in for a bath!
To the Ayyanar temple,
will you come?
Female: I won't come,
you will scare me and pounce on me!
To the neighboring town's market,
will you come?
Female: I won't come,
you will get up to mischief!
Let the whole village sleep,
let the howling foxes sleep,
Female: only you and I
will stay wide awake now!
Come, come, come, come, come, come!
If you won't come, go, go, go!
Hey, hey, hey... give, give, give!
If you won't give, go, go, go!
Hey... my sister is your mother,
your mother is my sister!
That is why I'll marry you!
My father is your uncle,
your uncle is my father!
That is why I accept you!
Sweet little Ammulu,
pretty little doll,
cute little Apple,
you are the one, baby!
Sweet little Ammulu,
pretty little doll,
cute little Apple,
you are the one, baby!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic duet features a playful banter between two lovers who assert their traditional cross-cousin kinship to justify their romantic union. The hero mischievously teases and invites the heroine to various secluded village spots, while she humorously rejects his advances out of playful fear of his romantic persistence. Ultimately, both agree to stay awake through the night together, celebrating their deep affection and desire.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Anaphora / Repetition (Adukkuthodar)

Vaa vaa vaa… Nee varangaatti po po po

Repetition of words like 'Vaa vaa vaa' and 'po po po' at the start and end of lines creates a lively tempo suitable for a folk dance track.

Second-letter Rhyme (Edhukai)

Ammulu kuttiyae / Bommulu kuttiyae / Appulu kuttiyae

The second consonant sound 'm' in 'Ammulu', 'Bommulu', and 'Appulu' rhymes across consecutive lines to create musical rhythm.

Call and Response

Mundhiri kaattukkulla Neeyum enna varriyaa / Female :Maatten nee enna Varuthu thinbaa

The song uses an interactive structure where the male lead proposes adventurous rendezvous and the female lead playfully declines.
