கண்ட மீன பொரிச்சி வெச்சு
சென்னா குன்னி கொழம்பு வெச்சு
மாமா உனக்கு ஊட்டி விடவா
Frying the fish that was caught
Making curry with tiny dried shrimp
Uncle, shall I feed you?
ஆ சுண்ட கஞ்சி நா இருக்கேன்
சுதும்பு கருவாடிருக்க
பக்குவமா குடிச்சிட நீ வா
I am here like hot fermented rice water
While dried white-sardinella fish is available
Come to drink it carefully
கட்டு மரம் பூ பூத்ததே
கடல் தண்ணி தேனானதே
The catamaran has blossomed with flowers
The sea water has turned into honey
வந்தாளே வந்தாளே பொண்ணு
பக்கத்தில் வந்தாளே
குழு :
ஹான்
கண்ணாலே சொன்னாளே அவ
காதல சொன்னாளே
She came, she came
The girl came near me
Chorus: Haan
Male: She said it through her eyes
She expressed her love

பாதயெல்லா நீ நடக்க
பரப்பி வெச்சேன் என் உசுர
பாத்து நட பக்குவமா
உசுருக்குள்ள நீ இருக்க
Wherever you walk on the path
I laid down my life
Walk carefully and gently
Because you reside inside my life
ஆசையெல்லாம் நீ கொடுத்த
அடக்கி வெச்சேன் என் மனச
பாடத்துல ரெக்க மொளச்சு
பறக்குறனே தன்னால
You gave me all these desires
I kept my heart restrained
Wings sprouted on my feet
I fly all on my own
காதல் மட்டும் இல்லாங்காட்டி
டெத்துனு தான் சொன்னா
காதலிச்ச பொண்ணு அத
கன்ஃபார்ம் பண்ணி போனா
Without love
She said it is death
The girl I loved
She confirmed it and left
வெட்டி விட்டு போனா அவ
வெட்டு கிளி போல
நானு இப்போ ஆனேனடா
பித்து குழி போல
She cut me off and left
Like a grasshopper that flies away
Now I have become
Like a lunatic
கண்ட மீன பொரிச்சி வெச்சு
சென்னா குன்னி கொழம்பு வெச்சு
மாமா உனக்கு ஊட்டி விடவா
Frying the fish that was caught

She came, she came
The girl came near me
She said it through her eyes
She expressed her love
காத்துல அசஞ்சாடும் ஒத்த கலம் மேல
உன்ன எண்ணி துடிச்சேனே பன மரத்த போல
வலய எடுக்காம மீன் புடிக்க போனேன்
வஞ்சரம் மாட்டிக்கிச்சே வலையில்லாம தானே
Above the single ship swaying in the wind
I throbbed thinking of you like a palm tree
I went to catch fish without taking a net
A king mackerel got caught on its own without a net
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள பட்டாம் பூச்சி
பட படக்குற நேரம்
சொல்ல மொழி இல்லாமலே
சொல்லாமதான் போனோம்
கனவில் வந்த காதலுக்கு
கத ஒண்ணு தானே
மீன காய வெச்சா கருவாடு தானே
பார்க்காம பேசாம சிரிக்காம ரசிக்காம
Butterflies fluttering inside my heart
At that fluttery moment
Without words to express
We left without saying anything
நந்து வள குள்ள நாங்க மாட்டிக்கிட்டோமே
நல்லவேள புயலடிச்சி பொளச்சிகிட்டோமே
நீயும் நானும் போயிடுவோம் சீக்கிரமா மேல
காதல் மட்டும் சாகாதடா காலத்த போல
For the love that arrived in dreams
There is only one story
If you dry a fish
It becomes dried fish
Without looking, without talking
Without smiling, without admiring

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Kanda Meena Porichi Vechu is a vibrant, rustic Tamil folk track from the film Irumban (2022). Set against a coastal fishing community backdrop, the song blends playful romantic banter with rich local coastal imagery and traditional culinary references like fried fish, dried shrimp curry, fermented rice gruel, and dried sardine. The narrative tracks the euphoria of romance—from eyes meeting and hearts racing to whimsical reflections on life, heartbreaks, and carefree dancing with friends.
