வாடி பொட்டப்புள்ள வெளியே
என் வாலிபத்த நோகடிச்ச கிளியே
வாடி பொட்டப்புள்ள வெளியே
என் வாலிபத்த நோகடிச்ச கிளியே
Come out, girl wearing a bindi!
Oh parrot who hurt my youth!
Come out, girl wearing a bindi!
Oh parrot who hurt my youth!
நீயா ஒன்ன தரியா
இல்ல மோதி பாக்க போறியா
என்ன மொத மொதல் ராத்திரியில்
மூக்கறுக்க வந்தவளே
Will you yield yourself voluntarily?
Or are you going to clash and test me?
On our very first wedding night,
You who came to embarrass me!
வாடி பொட்டப்புள்ள வெளியே
என் வாலிபத்த நோகடிச்ச கிளியே
வாடி பொட்டப்புள்ள வெளியே
என் வாலிபத்த நோகடிச்ச கிளியே
Come out, girl wearing a bindi!
Oh parrot who hurt my youth!
Come out, girl wearing a bindi!
Oh parrot who hurt my youth!
மூணு முடிச்சி போட்ட பின்னாலே
பொண்டாட்டி மூடக்கூடாது
அடி ஓடக் கூடாது முக்காடு போடக் கூடாது
புரியுதாடி......
After tying the sacred three knots,
A wife shouldn't stay distant or closed off.
Hey, you shouldn't run away or wear a veil!
Do you understand, girl?
வெளக்க அணைச்சு முடிச்ச பின்னாலே
நெறத்தப் பாக்க கூடாது
கட்சி மாறக் கூடாது படிப்பையும் கேட்க கூடாது
பூனைக்குதான் பால் கொடுத்த ராத்திரி
அந்த பூனை தானா உம் புருஷன் சுந்தரி
After turning off the lights,
You shouldn't keep watching the time.
You shouldn't switch sides or ask about educational qualifications!
The night you fed milk to the cat,
That cat itself is your husband, beautiful woman!
மொத ராத்திரி முடிஞ்சு வந்து
எல்லாந் தண்ணீரில் குளிச்சாங்கடி
மொத ராத்திரி முடிஞ்சு வந்து
நான் கண்ணீரில் குளிச்சேன்டி
After the first night came to an end,
Everyone bathed in cold water,
After the first night came to an end,
I bathed in my own tears!
வாடி பொட்டப்புள்ள வெளியே
என் வாலிபத்த நோகடிச்ச கிளியே
வாடி பொட்டப்புள்ள வெளியே
என் வாலிபத்த நோகடிச்ச கிளியே
Come out, girl wearing a bindi!
Oh parrot who hurt my youth!
Come out, girl wearing a bindi!
Oh parrot who hurt my youth!
தண்ணி மேல சத்தியம் தரேன்
தொடாம உன்ன விடமாட்டேன்
இனி கட்டியணைக்காம ஆத்தாடி
கட்டுப்பட மாட்டேன் பிராமிஸ்டி அடியே...
I promise upon water,
I will not let you go without embracing you.
From now on, to hug you tightly, oh girl,
I won't stay restrained, I promise you girl!
பத்தாம் மாசம் பிள்ள தராம சும்மா
நான் படுத்திற மாட்டேன்
நான் பதுங்கிட மாட்டேன்
அம்மாடி பயப்பட மாட்டேன்
ஆளக் கண்டு கோழையின்னா நெனச்ச
நான் ஏழையின்னா ஒன் கதவ அடைச்ச
Without giving me a child in the tenth month,
I won't simply lie down.
I will not hide away.
Oh girl, I will not be afraid!
Did you think I was a coward seeing my appearance?
Did you lock your door thinking I am poor?
அர பாட்டில் உள்ள போச்சு
நான் துரியோதனன் ஆனேனடி
ஒரு பாட்டில் உள்ள போனா
நான் துச்சாதனன் ஆவேனடி
If half the song goes by,
I will turn into Duryodhana!
If one full song goes by,
I will turn into Dushasana!
வாடி பொட்டப்புள்ள வெளியே
என் வாலிபத்த நோகடிச்ச கிளியே
வாடி பொட்டப்புள்ள வெளியே
என் வாலிபத்த நோகடிச்ச கிளியே
Come out, girl wearing a bindi!
Oh parrot who hurt my youth!
Come out, girl wearing a bindi!
Oh parrot who hurt my youth!
நீயா ஒன்ன தரியா
இல்ல மோதி பாக்க போறியா
என்ன மொத மொதல் ராத்திரியில்
மூக்கறுக்க வந்தவளே
Will you yield yourself voluntarily?
Or are you going to clash and test me?
On our very first wedding night,
You who came to embarrass me!
வாடி பொட்டப்புள்ள வெளியே
என் வாலிபத்த நோகடிச்ச கிளியே அடியே...
வாடி பொட்டப்புள்ள வெளியே
என் வாலிபத்த நோகடிச்ச கிளியே
Come out, girl wearing a bindi!
Oh parrot who hurt my youth!
Come out, girl wearing a bindi!
Oh parrot who hurt my youth!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic folk-style song from 'Kaalam Maari Pochu' portrays a humorous and dramatic confrontation on a couple's wedding night. The husband lightheartedly complains about his wife locking him out and avoiding intimacy on their first night, leaving him humiliated and bathing in 'tears' while others usually bathe in water after a successful first night. He calls her out playfully, threatening to become fierce like Mahabharata antagonists (Duryodhana and Dushasana) if she keeps rejecting him.
