Neethan Mohiniyo Lyrics Translation – Veguli Penn Soundtrack
The woman challenges whether traditional dress guarantees true womanhood without intellect. The man counters by criticizing modern attire’s disconnect from cultural values. Both perspectives use direct questions about identity and respect.
Nilladiy Solladiyo Yaaradi NeeStop right there and tell me, who are you?
Ellaam Pennidamo Unnidamo Paaradi NeeLook at yourself—does true womanhood lie within you or elsewhere?
Neethaan MoginiyoAre you the enchantress Mohini?
Appaavi Pennai Polae NadippuYou act as if you’re such an innocent girl.
Aanalum Nenjil Undu NinaippuBut you harbor secret intentions in your heart.
Eppothum Yaarodum SirippuYou’re always laughing and smiling with everyone.
Yaenadi Unakkintha MadhippuWhy do you receive such unearned respect?
Kandaangu Selai KattuDraping the traditional ‘Kandangi’ saree.
Kaarkoondhal PinnalittuAnd braiding your long, dark hair.
Pennaaga Neeyirunthaal PothumaaIs it enough to just appear like a woman?
Buthi Illaatha Penn Enna VenumaaDo we really need a woman who has no sense?
Buthi Illaatha Penn Enna VenumaaDo we really need a woman who has no sense?
Vennira AadaiOh, this white dress.
Vennira Aadai ChinnakkaaA white dress, my little sister.

Podi Neethaan Moginiyo Kadhal OorvasiyoGet away, are you the enchantress Mohini, or the celestial beauty Urvashi?
Nilladiy Solladiyo Yaaradi NeeStop right there and tell me, who are you?
Ellaam Pennidamo Unnidamo Paaradi NeeLook at yourself—does true womanhood lie within you or elsewhere?
Neethaan Moginiyo OoohAre you the enchantress Mohini?
Menaattu Kutti Pola GounnuYou wear a gown like a western girl.
Lolaakku Naalu Vadam ChainnuWearing earrings and four layers of chains.
Melaaga Aadai Konjam Down-uYour top dress is slipping a little too low.
Paarththaakka Thaangaathu Down-uIf people see this, the town simply won’t tolerate it.
Meenatchi KungumaththaikAbout the sacred vermilion of Goddess Meenakshi.
Keezhaaga Pesi VittuYou spoke of it in such a demeaning way.
Thaanaaga Sirippathum YaenadiWhy do you laugh about it all by yourself?
Ava Kaalaaga Maattaayae NeeyadiYou’ll never be worth even the dust on her feet.
Jeans Aadai Jeans Aadai RadhikaIn that jeans outfit, Radhika in jeans.
Oru Chance Thaaraen Pennai Pola MaarakkaaI’ll give you one chance—change your ways and be a true woman.
Vennira AadaiOh, this white dress.
Vennira Aadai ChinnakkaaA white dress, my little sister.
Minnum Minnum Pinnura Pinnum EnnakkaaWhy do you have all this glitter and styling?
Neethaan Moginiyo OohhoAre you the enchantress Mohini?
Kadhal Oorvasiyo AiyyayoOr the celestial beauty Urvashi? Oh my!
