Kadan Vangi Kalyanam’s Kaiyum Kaiyum Lyrics Translation

The man advances his argument by asking if it is proper for a wife to refuse her husband’s word. She counters by asking if it is right for him to fall in love with a “housemaid.” Her response cleverly uses their immediate situation as a witty defense against his romantic request.

Kaiyum Kaiyum KalandhidavaLet our hands join together
JollyagaveSo joyfully
Kadhal Kadhai PesidavaLet’s speak the story of love
KeliyagaveSo playfully
Kathirukkar PeriyavargalThe elders are waiting
VeliyagaveRight outside
Kaiyum Kaiyum KalappadhendruSo how can our hands join
JollyagaveSo joyfully?
Kanavan Sollai MaruppadhuTo refuse a husband’s word–
Endrum MuraiyagumaIs that ever really proper?
Manadhilulla ViragadhabamThis burning desire in my heart,
Unakku TheriyumaDon’t you understand it?
Viragam Endru MuraiyilladhuTo speak so improperly of desire,
PesalagumaIs that something one should do?
Velaikkari Meedhu KadhalTo fall in love with a ‘housemaid’,
KollalagumaIs that something one should do?
Kaiyum Kaiyum KalandhidavaLet our hands join together
JollyagaveSo joyfully
Kadhal Kadhai PesidavaLet’s speak the story of love
KeliyagaveSo playfully
