வாடி புள்ளே ரோட்டோரம்
இதழ் விரிஞ்சாலென்ன எந்தன் முத்தாரம்
வேண்டாம் மச்சான் உன் வேகம்
இது ஏமாத்துண்டா புது சாராயம்
Come on, girl, by the roadside,
What if your lips bloom like my pearl necklace?
Female: Stop, my dear man, hold back your rush,
This new liquor will trick you and mislead you.
வவுத்த பாரு வண்ணாந்தாழி
மூக்கப் பாரு வெள்ளி மூக்கு
முழியப் பாரு கோட்டான் முழி
முட்டாம நீ முட்ட வா.......
Look at his belly, like a washerman's large pot!
Look at the nose, like a silver nose ring!
Look at the eyes, bulging like owl eyes!
Come butt heads without missing a beat!
வாடி புள்ளே ரோட்டோரம்
இதழ் விரிஞ்சாலென்ன எந்தன் முத்தாரம்
Come on, girl, by the roadside,
What if your lips bloom like my pearl necklace?
லால் லா லால்லா
லால் லா ஹாஹ்
Laal laa laallaa
Female: Laal laa haah
அய்யனாரு சிலப் போல அய்யாவா
நீ வீதியிலே ஓசியிலே கெடச்சதின்னு
மடமடன்னு குடிச்சியே...
கால நேரம் வேணுமா
மதி மயங்கும் வேளையிலே ச்ச்ச்சச்சச்சா
Standing tall like an Ayyanar statue, oh sir,
Just because you got it for free on the street,
You chugged it down so rapidly!
Does love require a specific auspicious time?
At the hour when the mind gets intoxicated... tch-tch-tch-tch...
முத்தாத காயா நீயோ
நான் தொட்டு பார்த்தாலென்ன
ஆசை ஆசை
முத்தாத காயா நீயோ
நான் தொட்டு பார்த்தாலென்ன
Are you an unkissed unripe fruit?
What if I touch and feel you?
Female: Desire, desire!
Male: Are you an unkissed unripe fruit?
What if I touch and feel you?
வாடி புள்ளே ரோட்டோரம்
இதழ் விரிஞ்சாலென்ன எந்தன் முத்தாரம்
Come on, girl, by the roadside,
What if your lips bloom like my pearl necklace?
பரட்டதல அழகாலே பட்டிக்காடு நீ
அய்யோ
கேக்காம பாக்காம வந்ததென்ன
மஜா பண்ண வந்தியா கைப் பிடிச்சு பாத்தியா
என்னத் தொட ஆசையா....சீச்சீசீசீ....
With messy hair beauty, you rustic country girl!
Male: Oh my!
Female: Why did you come without asking or looking?
Did you come to have fun and try holding my hand?
Do you desire to touch me? Chee, chee, chee, chee!
குடிகாரன் பொழப்பு எல்லாம் விடிஞ்சாலே தெரியுமடி
அய்யோ குடிகாரன் பொழப்பு எல்லாம் விடிஞ்சாலே தெரியுமடி
தொட்டாக்க தேன் சிந்து குடிச்சாக்க பூப்பந்து
சுவைச்சாக்க குல்கந்து என்னோடதான் நீ குந்து
A drunkard's true reality is revealed only after dawn, girl!
Oh my, a drunkard's true reality is revealed only after dawn, girl!
If touched, it is honey dripping; if drunk, it is a blossom ball;
If tasted, it is sweet gulkand; come sit right next to me!
வாடி புள்ளே ரோட்டோரம்
இதழ் விரிஞ்சாலென்ன எந்தன் முத்தாரம்
Come on, girl, by the roadside,
What if your lips bloom like my pearl necklace?
வவுத்த பாரு வண்ணாந்தாழி

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Vaadi pullae rottoram' from Kai Varisai (1983) is a lively, folk-infused duet featuring playful banter between a drunk man and a woman on the roadside. The male protagonist playfully teases and woos the woman with folk metaphors, while the woman humorously mocks his intoxicated state, comparing his appearance to an Ayyanar statue, a washerman's pot, and an owl's wide eyes. Despite her playful resistance and teasing warnings about a drunkard's morning regrets, the song maintains a fun, affectionate energy as the duo exchanges witty, rhythmic retorts. Composed by the duo Shankar-Ganesh, the song relies on catchy folk rhythms, expressive vocal performances by Malaysia Vasudevan and Manorama, and rustic colloquial Tamil lyrics written by Poonguyilan.
