யாரோடும் பேசக் கூடாது
ஆகட்டும்
கேட்டாலும் சொல்லக் கூடாது
ஆகட்டும்
You must not speak with anyone else
Female: Let it be so
Male: Even if asked, you must not tell
Female: Let it be so
நீ மட்டும் மாறக் கூடாது
ஆகட்டும்
வேறொன்றை நாடக் கூடாது
ஆகட்டும்
You must not change
Male: Let it be so
Female: You must not seek another
Male: Let it be so
உள்ளத்தில் இல்லாதது
சொல்லுக்கோ வராதது
என்னென்று ஒரே முறை சொல்லலாமா.....
That which is not in the heart
That which does not come into words
Shall I tell what it is just once?
கன்னத்திலா உடல் வண்ணத்திலா
கன்னத்திலா உடல் வண்ணத்திலா
மாங்கனி ஊறும்
செவ்வாயின் கிண்ணத்திலா
Is it in the cheeks? Or in the body's complexion?
Is it in the cheeks? Or in the body's complexion?
Or in the cup of red lips dripping like mango nectar?
ஆ ஹாஹஹா
Aa haahahaa
முத்து போல் உண்டாவது
முல்லை பூ செண்டாவது
இன்னும் நான் சொல்லாததை
சொல்லலாமா
That which forms like a pearl
That which becomes a bouquet of jasmine flowers
Shall I say what I haven't said yet?
சொல்லுங்களேன்
பெண்ணை வெல்லுங்களேன்
சொல்லுங்களேன்
பெண்ணை வெல்லுங்களேன்
வண்ண தோளோடு தோள் சேர
நில்லுங்களேன்
Please tell and win over this woman
Please tell and win over this woman
Stand beside me, shoulder to colorful shoulder
பக்திக்கும் இல்லாதது
முக்திக்கும் விடாதது
தித்திக்கும் அதா இது என்ன இன்பம்
That which is not even in devotion
That which does not leave even in liberation
Is it so sweet, what kind of joy is this?
இன்பம் வரும்
அது இன்னும் வரும்
இன்பம் வரும்
அது இன்னும் வரும்
கொஞ்சம் நாளாக நாளாக
சொர்க்கம் வரும்
Joy will come, and more of it will come
Joy will come, and more of it will come
As days pass by, heaven will come
ஹ்ம்ம் ஹ்ம்ம் ஹ்ம்ம்.....
Hmm hmm hmmm…
மன்றத்தில் விழா வரும்
மஞ்சத்தில் நிலா வரும்
என்றைக்கும் இதே சுகம் விளையாடும்
A celebration will come to the hall
The moon will come to the bed
This same bliss will play forever
மஞ்சத்திலா
உங்கள் நெஞ்சத்திலா.....
மஞ்சத்திலா
உங்கள் நெஞ்சத்திலா....
அந்த மணநாளை ஊர் கேட்க
சொல்லட்டுமா
Is it on the bed? Or in your heart?
Is it on the bed? Or in your heart?
Shall I ask for the whole town to hear about that wedding day?
ஹ்ம்ம் ஹ்ம்ம் ஹ்ம்ம்.....
Hmm hmm hmmm…

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Yaarodum Pesa Koodaadhu' is a classic playful romantic duet featuring lovers setting playful conditions and boundaries for their relationship. The lovers alternate giving instructions—demanding loyalty, exclusivity, and secrecy—with each agreeing wholeheartedly using the refrain 'Aagattum' (Let it be so). Through intimate, poetic dialogue, they express the boundless joy of love that surpasses devotion and liberation, eagerly looking forward to their upcoming wedding day and a life of shared bliss.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Ethugai (Second Letter Rhyme)
“Bakthikkum illaadhadhu / Mukthikkum vidaadhadhu / Thithikkum adhaa idhu enna inbam”
The second consonant sound 'kthi'/'thi' rhymes across consecutive lines (Bakthikkum, Mukthikkum, Thithikkum).
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Yaarodum pesa koodaadhu ... Nee mattum maara koodaadhu ... Verondrai naada koodaadhu”
The repetitive ending word 'koodaadhu' creates an Iyaipu rhythm across alternating dialogue lines.
Metaphor (Uruvagaim)
“Maangani oorum sevvaayin kinnathilaa”
The lover's red lips are poetically metaphorized as a cup ('kinnathilaa') overflowing with sweet mango juice.
Simile (Upamai)
“Muthu pol undaavadhu”
Compares the sweet creation of love to the natural formation of a pearl using 'pol' (like).
