Hey, sneezes,
coughs, hiccups, and yawns,
good, bad, hunger, and sleep,
birth, death, money, titles, and status—
none of these ask for permission before coming.
They happen on their own.
When they arrive, you can't question why.
When they leave, you can't question why.

If a girl accepts your love, you celebrate her like an angel
and treat her with awe...
If she turns you down, you shower her
with vile curses and abuse...
You only look at a woman's physical form
and her outer beauty,
while throwing her heart under your feet
and grinding it into the dust...
A deceitful man has ten fickle minds,
but a good woman has only one devoted heart!

As long as there is money in the ATM,
a man easily falls in love.
Only after finding all the right compatibility
does a woman truly fall in love.
To a man, love
is just a paper to wipe his hands and toss away.
To a woman, love
is the very life living inside her eyes!
Hey, the love that blooms
in a woman's heart is only one...
Chorus: Only one...
In a man's heart,
just count how many loves come and go!
Chorus: Just count!
Hey, a woman who goes back on her word
is only one in a hundred.
Chorus: One in a hundred...
If you look at the reason behind it,
you will find her sacrifice, my friend!
Chorus: My friend!
Don't curse that girl, man,
what did she ever do to you?

Hey hm hey hm hey hm hey hm
Hey hey
For a man, pleasure lasts ten minutes,
for a woman, bearing life takes ten months.
The rules of chastity written by men
are made to be a woman's only burden.
Do you really want to understand a woman?
Step into a woman's place and see, guys!
What is the true worth of a woman?
Go and ask the mother who gave birth to you!
Hey, every woman
loves not just for physical desire...
Chorus: Not just for desire...
With her patient waiting,
even a cold stone will slowly ripen and yield!
Chorus: Slowly...
Hey, in a woman's tearful heart,
there is no room for deceit...
Chorus: No deceit...
If you doubt her pure intentions,
there is no justice or fairness in it...
Chorus: No justice at all...
Don't curse that girl, man,
what did she ever do to you?
Don't curse that girl, man,
don't ruin your own sight...

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song 'Yechacha' (Thittadhappa Ponna) from Nenjil Thunivirundhal serves as a social commentary and defense of women against societal prejudice, male hypocrisy, and double standards. It highlights how men often view relationships fleetingly or conditionally, comparing men's fickle love to paper meant to be discarded, while women view love as an enduring commitment that defines their entire lives. The lyrics reprimand men for abusing or misjudging women when rejected, urging them to respect women's dignity and realize the sacrifices women make.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Ethugai (Second letter rhyming)
“Aambalaikku nimisham pathu / Pombalaikku maasam pathu”
The second consonant 'm' rhymes across lines, creating a rhythmic cadence comparing a man's momentary role to a woman's ten-month pregnancy.
Metaphor
“Kaadhalellaam aambalaikku / Kaithodachu podum kaagithamae”
Compares a man's superficial view of love to a disposable tissue paper used to wipe hands.
Muran (Antithesis)
“Kalla payaluku pathu manasu / Nalla pombalaikku ottha manasu”
Contrasts the multi-faced/fickle mind of a deceitful man ('pathu manasu') with the singular, devoted heart of a good woman ('ottha manasu').
