Kadan Vangi Kalyanam’s Akka Magale Arai Lyrics Translation
The woman quickly rejects his romantic words. She tells him not to cover her with a “blanket of desire” without having any money. He responds by complaining about her father’s unyielding “iron heart,” which he says is in need of repair. Their exchange shows a mix of flirtation and practicality.
