மன்மத அழகில்
மன்மத அழகில்
மான் இவ விழுந்தாளா.....
பொண் இவ அறிவில்
பொண் இவ அறிவில்
புலிதான் சரிஞ்சானா
In the beauty of Cupid,
In the beauty of Cupid,
Did this doe-like girl fall?
In the wisdom of this golden girl, in the wisdom of this golden girl,
Did the tiger himself slip?
மாப்பிள்ள முழியோ
மாப்பிள்ள முழியோ
வெக்கத்தில் விளையாட
பொண் இவ விழியோ
பொண் இவ விழியோ
எதையோ எடை போட
The groom's gaze, the groom's gaze,
Plays with shyness,
This golden girl's eyes, this golden girl's eyes,
Are weighing something up.
அனுபவமே இல்ல
ஆனாலும் பரவால
தைரியமே இல்ல
முடிஞ்சான்டி இனிமேல
அவன் கொஞ்சம் வழியவும்
இவ கொஞ்சம் நெளியவும்
இரகசியம் வெளி வருமா
No experience at all...
But that is okay.
No courage either...
Well, it's all over now anyway.
As she winces a little,
And her lips curve a little,
Will the secret come out?
{யாரு மேல குத்தம் என்ன
ஊரக் கேட்ப்போமா
செஞ்ச தப்ப இன்னொரு டைம்
செஞ்சு பாப்போமா} (2)
{Whose fault is it anyway?
Shall we go ask the town?
The mistake we made, one more time,
Shall we try doing it again?} (2)
ஓ......ஓஒ.....
மது அருந்திய போதை மேல் தப்பா
மதி மயங்கிய கோதை மேல் தப்பா
கண்ணாளா கண்ணாளா பொல்லாத
மாலை மேல் தப்பா
Oh...ooo
Is it the fault of the intoxication from wine?
Is it the fault of the maiden whose intellect got dazed?
Darling, darling, is it the fault of
The cruel evening?
உடல் நடுக்கிய குளிரலை மேல் தப்பா
உடை விரும்பிய விடுதலை மேல் தப்பா
கண்ணாளா கண்ணாளா இல்லாத
ஒழுக்கம் மேல் தப்பா
Is it the fault of the cold wave that made the body shiver?
Is it the fault of the liberation that the clothes desired?
Darling, darling, is it the fault of
The lack of morality?
பாதி தவறு அவன் மேல
மீதி தவறும் அவன் மேல
அவனச் சொல்லி குத்தமில்ல
இவ கொஞ்சம் சிரிச்சதனால
Half the mistake is on him,
The rest of the mistake is on him too,
There's no point blaming him,
Just because she smiled a little.

ஊரக் கேட்ப்போமா
செஞ்ச தப்ப இன்னொரு டைம்

முணுமுணுக்குது
இதயம் தன்னால
மணமணக்குது மனசு உன்னால
முன்னால பின்னால இதப்போல்
இவளும் இருந்ததில்ல
Muttering to itself,
The heart goes on its own.
The mind gets restless because of you.
Never before or after, like this,
Has she ever been.
நம நமக்குது
உதட்டில் எதனால
கப கபங்குது விரலில் எதனால
முன்னால பின்னால இதப்போல்
அவனும் இருந்ததில்ல
A tingling sensation,
On the lips, why is that?
A burning warmth on the fingers, why is that?
Never before or after, like this,
Has she ever been.
யாரு முதலில் அதக் கேட்டா
யாரு முதலில் சரி சொன்னா
கேட்டது ஒன்னும் குத்தமில்ல
எல்லாமே முடிஞ்சிட்டதால.........
Who asked for it first?
Who said yes first?
Asking for it wasn't a crime,
Since everything is already done.
மன்மத அழகில்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song playfully explores the aftermath of an unexpected intimacy or romantic mistake between two young individuals. Using cheeky and lighthearted lyrics, the track debates who holds the responsibility for falling into temptation—whether to blame the intoxicating ambiance, the chilly weather, or the irresistible charm of each other. Ultimately, both parties playfully dismiss guilt, concluding that since the 'mistake' has already happened, they might as well embrace it and repeat it.
