Vizhiyae vizhiyae unakkenna vaelai
Virundhukku varavaa naalaikku maalai
Thoodho solladi medhuvaaga

Oh lovely eyes, what work do you have?
Shall I come over for a feast tomorrow evening?
Send me a message softly, my girl,
You send a message softly,
Shall I sway and rest upon your tender shoulders?
Ask your heart and tell me sweetly!
Ask your heart and tell me sweetly!
If it is a feast, you may surely come,
If you need a healing cure, I can give that too...
If it is a feast, you may surely come,
If you need a healing cure, I can give that too,
Why worry about tomorrow or an auspicious hour,
when our four eyes can meet in love right here?
when our four eyes can meet in love right here?
Oh lovely eyes, what work do you have?
Shall I come over for a feast tomorrow evening?
Send me a message softly, my girl,
You send a message softly,
Shall I sway and rest upon your tender shoulders?
Ask your heart and tell me sweetly!
Ask your heart and tell me sweetly!
In the cup of your cheek,
fair with the glow of fresh milk,
will you bring sweet sugarcane juice?
My sweet parrot, will you give me a taste?
In the cup of your cheek,
fair with the glow of fresh milk,
will you bring sweet sugarcane juice?
My sweet parrot, will you give me a taste?
Is it right to give only when asked?
Is this parrot's affection meant only for that?
Is it right to give only when asked?
Is this parrot's affection meant only for that?
Milk and fruit, honey and millet,
I will give you every day, and give you even more,
Tell me, what more do you desire?
Oh lovely eyes, what work do you have?
Shall I come over for a feast tomorrow evening?
Send me a message softly, my girl,
You send a message softly,
Shall I sway and rest upon your tender shoulders?
Ask your heart and tell me sweetly!
Ask your heart and tell me sweetly!
Along the banks of the Kaveri river,
while the gentle breeze sings a lullaby,
may I come to sit and talk heart-to-heart?
My sweet fruit, will you give me a little love?
Why do we even need a riverbank?
And why must there be secrecy in our love?
Why do we even need a riverbank?
And why must there be secrecy in our love?
Fixing an auspicious date,
inviting the whole town,
waiting for the right moment,
and exchanging wedding garlands...
Aah... aah... aah... aah...
Oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh...
Oh lovely eyes, what work do you have?
Shall I come over for a feast tomorrow evening?
Send me a message softly, my girl,
You send a message softly,
Shall I sway and rest upon your tender shoulders?
Ask your heart and tell me sweetly!
Ask your heart and tell me sweetly!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Vizhiyae Vizhiyae from the 1968 film Pudhiya Bhoomi is a classic romantic duet featuring flirtatious banter between two lovers. The male protagonist initiates the conversation by playfully questioning his lover's alluring gaze and asking for permission to enjoy a feast of affection and embrace her on her tender shoulders. The female protagonist responds with equal charm, welcoming his affection while teasingly asking why they must wait for auspicious timing when their eyes and hearts have already united.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Metaphor (Uruvagam)

Kannam ennum oru kinnathilae

The cheek is poetically conceptualized as a cup (kinnam) holding sweet milk and sugarcane juice, symbolizing romance.

Monai (Initial Rhyme / Alliteration)

Karandha paalirukkum ... / Karumbu chaaru ... / Kiliyae konjam ...

The repetition of the initial consonant sound 'Ka' across lines 23-25 creates melodic rhythm.

Iyaipu (End Rhyme)

Thaedhi kurithu / Oorai azhaithu / Kaalam arindhu / Maalai anindhu

The matching rhyming endings in these lines ('-ithu', '-indhu') establish a rapid, joyful pace leading up to the idea of marriage.
