ஹான் விட்டு விட்டு அடிக்குது மழை காத்து
ஹோய் என்ன
பட்டுப் பட்டு துடிக்குது இள நாத்து
அது சரி
Ah, the rainy wind blows in fits and starts
Male: Hey, what?
Female: Touched repeatedly, the young seedling quivers
Male: That is right
விட்டு விட்டு அடிக்குது மழை காத்து
பட்டுப் பட்டு துடிக்குது இள நாத்து
கட்டி வெல்லம் நான்தான் எட்டி நிக்கலாமா
கட்டெறும்பு நீதான் ஒட்டிக் கொள்ளு மாமா
சொட்ட சொட்ட நீராடவா ஆஆஆஆ....
The rainy wind blows in fits and starts
Touched repeatedly, the young seedling quivers
I am a block of jaggery, should I stand far away?
You are a black ant, stick to me, uncle
Shall I bathe while dripping wet? Aaaaa...
விட்டு விட்டு அடிக்கலாம் மழை காத்து
பட்டு பட்டு துடிக்கலாம் இள நாத்து
கட்டி வெல்லம் வீணா கறைஞ்சிடும் வேணா
ஒத்தி நில்லு நீயா புத்தி உள்ள பொண்ணா
தத்தளிச்சு ஏன் ஏங்குறே....ஓஓஓஒ....
The rainy wind blows in fits and starts
The young seedling can quiver when touched
The block of jaggery will melt away uselessly, so do not
Stand aside like a sensible girl
Why do you flutter and yearn? Oh oh oh oh...
பாரமா இருக்குது ஈரம் சொட்டுற சேல
இந்த ஈரம்தான் காஞ்சிடும் மாமன் கட்டுற வேளை
சீண்டுறே சிணுங்குறே ஏன்டி இத்தன பாடு
உன்ன வேண்டுறேன் வெலகி போ எனக்கு வரல மூடு
The rain-drenched saree feels so heavy
This wetness will dry when uncle embraces me
Male: You tease me and whine, why all this trouble, girl?
I beg you, step away, I am not in the mood right now
மெல்லத்தான் சூடேறுமோ
ரொம்பத்தான் லேட்டாகுமோ
நான் சூடாகி போனா அத தாங்காதுன் தேகம்
நான் மூடாகி போனா படு ஸ்பீடாகும் மோகம்
அப்ப வாய்யா பூ பாணம் போலே பொண்ணு மேலே
Will it slowly warm up?
Will it take too long?
Male: If I get heated up, your body will not be able to bear it
If I get into the mood, my passion will speed up rapidly
Female: Then come like a flower-arrow upon this girl
அய்யயோ
விட்டு விட்டு அடிக்கலாம் மழை காத்து
ஹுன்
பட்டு பட்டு துடிக்கலாம் இள நாத்து
ஒஹோஒ
கட்டி வெல்லம் நான்தான் எட்டி நிக்கலாமா
கட்டெறும்பு நீதான் ஒட்டிக் கொள்ளு மாமா
சொட்ட சொட்ட நீராடவா.....
அய்ய்ய்யய்ய்...ய

Male: Aiyaiyaiyaaa
அரும்பிது வெடிச்சுத்தான்
மாசம் எத்தனை ஆச்சு
உன்ன ஆசையா நெனச்சுத்தான்
மேனி எளச்சு போச்சு
இன்னமும் இளச்சிட
பாக்கி என்னடி இருக்கு
இடை இருக்குதோ இல்லையோ
பாத்து சொல்லடி எனக்கு
Since the flower bud burst open,
How many months have passed?
Thinking of you with deep desire,
My body has grown lean
Male: To grow even leaner,
What is left in you, girl?
Is there a waist there or not?
Look and tell me
சிற்றிடை நூலாடத்தான்
தொட்டு பார் மேலாகத்தான்
அந்த ஆராய்ச்சி வேணா
பெரும் வம்பாக போகும்
ஒரு நீர்வீழ்ச்சி போலே
புது மோகங்கள் பாயும்
அட வாய்யா மோகங்கள் தீர ஒன்னு சேர
My slender waist is thin like a thread,
Touch and feel it gently
Male: No need for that research,
It will lead to big trouble
Like a cascading waterfall,
New passions will rush forth
Female: Hey, come so our desires can be fulfilled as we unite
விட்டு விட்டு அடிக்குது மழை காத்து
ஆஹா
பட்டுப் பட்டு துடிக்குது இள நாத்து
ஆண் : ஒஹோ
கட்டி வெல்லம் நான்தான் எட்டி நிக்கலாமா
கட்டெறும்பு நீதான் ஒட்டிக் கொள்ளு மாமா
சொட்ட சொட்ட நீராடவா ஆஆஆஆ....
Ah, the rainy wind blows in fits and starts
Male: Aha
Female: Touched repeatedly, the young seedling quivers
Male: Oho
விட்டு விட்டு அடிக்கலாம் மழை காத்து
ஓஹோ
பட்டு பட்டு துடிக்கலாம் இள நாத்து

ஒத்தி நில்லு நீயா புத்தி உள்ள பொண்ணா
தத்தளிச்சு ஏன் ஏங்குறே....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful rural duet set against a rainstorm captures a romantic banter between two lovers. The heroine eagerly tempts her partner using vivid metaphors of nature, rainwater, sweet jaggery, and ants, urging him to embrace her. The hero playfully resists her advances at first, warning her that if he gives in to his desires, his passion will rush forth uncontrollably like a waterfall. Eventually, the banter escalates into mutual expression of longing and affection.
