இசை மைப்பாளர் :
யுவன் ஷங்கர் ராஜா
Come, come near the entrance side
Let us cross the canal and stand running
Before the dark spirits catch us
Shall we go?
வாடி வாடி வாசப்பக்கம்
வாய்க்கா தாண்டி ஓடி நிப்போம்
காத்து கருப்பு பாக்கும்முன்னே
போலாமா...ஆஆன் ...
Oh shoo, my lovely prince
Wiping the drool that lands on your mouth
When night falls, your nuisance
Is unbearable...
சீ…… மியா மியா ஆசத்தொரை
வாயில் படியும் எச்சில் தொட
ராவும் வந்தா உங்கள் தொல்ல
தாங்கலியே ...ஏஏ
Gradually you too
Are picking fights and leaving
The serpent mat
Is yearning!
ஆ...வர வர நீயும் வம்பு பண்ணி போற
பம்பு செட்டு பாயும்தான் ஏங்குதடி
Like an oil-press bullock
You keep circling around me
If you look at my father's mustache
Seeing it, your legs will stagger
Staggering and trembling all over
Listen up, fellow!
Just looking at his eyes will make you shiver!
செக்குமாடு போல
என்ன சுத்தி வாரா
எங்கப்பு மீசைய பாத்தாக்க பாத்தாக்க
பாத்தா காலும் தள்ளாடி தள்ளாடி
நடுநடுங்கும்
மவனே கேளு
கண்ண பாத்தாலே பாத்தாலே வெவெடக்கும்
Hey, legs will stagger
Staggering and trembling all over
Listen up, fellow!
Just looking at his eyes will make you shiver!
காலும் தள்ளாடி தள்ளாடி
நடுநடுங்கும்
மவனே கேளு
கண்ண பாத்தாலே பாத்தாலே வெவெடக்கும்
Girl selling a basket of flowers
There is no one to call out and sell them
If you come along, tell me what you will give me
கூட பூவு விக்கும் புள்ள
கூவி விக்க ஆளும் இல்ல
கூட வந்தா என்ன தர சொல்லடி
Oh cousin who sells things in portions
You stand there having lost your senses
Watch out, there is a curved sickle inside my saree!
கூறு கட்டி விக்கும் மச்சான்
கூறுகெட்டு நிக்கிறியே
சேலக்குள்ள கொடுக்கருவா பாத்துக்கோ
Hey, my mustache is twitching
I am struggling to speak
The bravery of a wild tiger is within me
Before that, time...
If four days pass, it will bloom
My uncle's daughter, if I touch you...
If I touch, touch, touch...
In the eyes, automatically by itself
Fire will catch!
Ask her...
The thoughts inside the heart
Will dance wildly!
ஏய் துடிக்குது மீச
தவிக்கிறேன் பேச
காட்டுப்புலி வீரமே என்கிட்டதான்
அதுக்குள்ள காள
நாளும் சொன்னா பூக்கும்
அத்தமக உன்ன நான்
தொட்டாக்க தொட்டாக்க தொட்டா
கண்ணில் தன்னாலே தானாவே
தீ புடிக்கும்
இவளை கேளு………
நெஞ்சில் நெனப்புத்தான்
நெனப்புத்தான் ஊத்தெடுக்கும்
Hey girl, in the eyes, automatically by itself
Fire will catch!
Ask her...
The thoughts inside the heart
Will dance wildly!
கண்ணில் தன்னாலே தானாவே
தீ புடிக்கும்
இவளை கேளு………
நெஞ்சில் நெனப்புத்தான்
நெனப்புத்தான் ஊத்தெடுக்கும்
Mmm....mmmm....mmm....
Mmm...mmm...mm...mm..

...............................
Beauty with a nose sharp as a sickle
Beauty with teeth that speak idle chatter
Is there a space for me inside your heart?
வீச்சருவா மூக்கழகி
வெட்டிப்பேச்சு பல்லழகி
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள எனக்கு இடம் இருக்கா
You are the guy with dirty trousers
You are like rotten flour
There is no space for you in my heart, you fool!
அழுக்கு டவுச்சர் ஆளு நீதான்
உளுத்துப்போன மாவு நீ தான்
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள நீயும் இல்ல கிறுக்கா
Looking at you
Sweating at the top of my head
Embrace the heat in my body!
உன்னை நான் பார்த்து
உச்சந்தலை வேர்த்து
தேகத்துல சூடுதான் அணைச்சுக்கடி
Oh my, go away!
You drooling mouth!
If you ever see my anger...
If you see, see...
Even a green tree
Will burn down like cotton!
Dumb cousin!
Even the Bay of Bengal
Will dry up completely!
அடடட போயா
ஜொள்ளு விடும் வாயா
என்னோட கோபம் நீயும் பார்த்தாலே
பார்த்தாலே பார்த்தா
Even a green tree
Will burn down like cotton!
Dumb cousin!
Even the Bay of Bengal
Will dry up completely!
பச்சமரம் கூட பஞ்சாகி
எரிஞ்சிடுமே
மக்குமச்சான் வங்க கடல் கூட
வத்தி தான் போயிடுமே
பச்சமரம் கூட பஞ்சாகி
எரிஞ்சிடுமே
மக்குமச்சான் வங்க கடல் கூட
வத்தி தான் போயிடுமே .......

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a playful, folk-style banter (Gana / Oppari-tinged duet) between a man trying to flirt with a woman and the woman cheekily spurning his advances. The male protagonist boasts about his bravery, manhood, and affection, attempting to convince her to join him and accept his romance. Meanwhile, the female protagonist mockingly dismisses him, highlighting his messy appearance, threatening him with her father's authority and her own sharp tongue and hidden weapon, warning him not to cross her.
