Lay down the mat
ஹே வாயா வாயா பாயப் போடு
பல நாள் கூத்த ஒரு நாள் பாரு
சின்னையாவே சின்னையாவே அச்சமா
அட உன்னோடு நான்
ஒட்டிக் கொள்வேன் மச்சமா
என் சின்னையாவே சின்னையாவே அச்சமா
அட உன்னோடு நான்
ஒட்டிக் கொள்வேன் மச்சமா
Hey come, come, lay down the mat
Watch many days of drama unfold in a single day
Oh young master, oh young master, is it fear?
Hey, I will cling to you like a mole!
My young master, my young master, is it fear?
Hey, I will cling to you like a mole!
போமா போமா நடையக் கட்டு
எனை நீ ஜெயிச்சா தொடையத் தட்டு
போமா போமா போமா
Go away, go away, pack up and move along
If you win over me, slap your thigh in triumph
Go away, go away, go away
அழகழகா நடை நடந்து
அசத்துறியே வருகையிலே
கலர் கலரா கனவுகள
காட்டுறியே உறங்கையிலே
Walking with such beautiful steps
You stun me as you arrive
Colorful, colorful dreams
You show me when I sleep
யம்மா நீ பையப் பைய
உம் மாமன் தப்புச் செய்ய
காலையும் மாலையும் தூண்டுற ஹொய்
Oh girl, you slowly and gently
Incite your uncle to commit a mistake
You provoke me morning and evening, hey!
எம் மேல ஆசப் பட்டு
எல்லாமே பேசி விட்டு
நான் தொடும் வேளையில் ஓடுற
Desiring me deeply
After talking about everything
You run away the moment I try to touch you
ஹேய் எம் பேச்ச ஏத்துக்கோ
ஓம் போக்க மாத்திக்கோ
நான்தான்டி உத்தம ராசா ஆ......ஹா
Hey, accept my words
Change your ways

Ha, go away girl
ஒதுங்கி நின்னு இருக்கயிலே
உசுப்புறியே உணர்ச்சிகள
புளியங்கொம்பாய் எனப் புடிச்சு
உலுக்குறியே நெனப்புகள
When I stand reserved and distant
You stir up my emotions
Grabbing hold of me like a sturdy tamarind branch
You shake up my thoughts
உள்ளார ஏதோ ஆச்சு
உன்ன நான் விட்டாப் போச்சு
தாமரப் பூ உடல் வேகுது
Something happened inside me
If I let go of you, I am lost
My lotus-flower body is burning
சும்மா நீ சூட்ட ஏத்தி
என்னோட ரூட்ட மாத்தி
ஆசைய ஏனடி மூட்டுற
Simply raising the heat
Changing my route
Why do you kindle my desire, girl?
என்னோடு ஒத்துப் போ
உன்னால அப்பப்போ
அன்னாடம் தூக்கம் கெடுது
Cooperate with me
Because of you, every now and then
My sleep is ruined every single day
அட போமா போமா நடையக் கட்டு
எனை நீ ஜெயிச்சா தொடையத் தட்டு
Hey go away, go away, pack up and move along
If you win over me, slap your thigh in triumph
வாயா வாயா பாயப் போடு
பல நாள் கூத்த ஒரு நாள் பாரு
Come, come, lay down the mat
Watch many days of drama unfold in a single day
கல்லுக்குள்ள நார் உரிக்கப் பாக்குற
உன் கையக் கால என் கிட்ட ஏன் ஆட்டுற
நீ கல்லுக்குள்ள நார் உரிக்கப் பாக்குற
உன் கையக் கால என் கிட்ட ஏன் ஆட்டுற
You are trying to peel fiber out of a stone
Why are you flailing your hands and legs around me?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Vaayaa Vaayaa' from Uthama Raasa (1993) is a lively, flirtatious duet showcasing a playful conflict between two lovers. The female lead playfully teases, entices, and woos the male protagonist, calling him out for being timid and inviting him to romance. In response, the hero attempts to act principled and stoic, claiming to be an 'Uthama Raasa' (righteous king), while comically complaining that she continuously stirs up his feelings only to act coy when he responds. The track balances rich folk expressions with witty banter, reflecting standard rural Tamil romantic comedy tropes.
