Dhina | Kabilan • From “Polladhavan”
Padichu Pathen Lyrics Meaning Dhina | Kabilan | Polladhavan
The songwriter describes a young man’s antics with lines like, ‘I tried studying, but nothing stuck in my head, I tried drinking, and it hit me right away.’ The words highlight the freedom and recklessness of a phase that once gone, can never return.
Padichu Paathen YeravillaI tried studying, but nothing stuck in my head,
Kudichu Paathen YeriduchuI tried drinking, and it hit me right away.
Padichu Paathen YeravillaI tried studying, but nothing stuck in my head,
Kudichu Paathen YeriduchuI tried drinking, and it hit me right away.
Sirichu Paathen SikkavillaI tried a smile, but I didn’t catch a soul,
Morachu Paathen SikkiduchuI tried a glare, and I reeled ’em in.
Nanga Appa Kaasil B#eradippomWe’ll chug b#ers using our old man’s cash,
Smsil SittadippomWe’ll flirt away with texts on our phones.
Vetti Payanu PereduppomWe’ll make a name for being useless guys,
City Bus Il VisiladippomAnd whistle loudly on the city bus.
Intha Vayasu PonaOnce this age passes us by,
Vera Vayasu IllaThere’s no other time like it.
Azhaga RasikkalannaIf you don’t stop to admire the beauty,
Avanthan Manushan IllaThen you’re not even human at all.
Padichu Paathen YeravillaI tried studying, but nothing stuck in my head,
Kudichu Paathen YeriduchuI tried drinking, and it hit me right away.
Kalyanatha Seiyum BodhuWhen it’s time to get hitched,
Panjangathai PaarpavaneYou’re the one checking the ‘almanac’,
Kaadhalikka PanjangathaBut for falling head over heels in love,
PaarpadhillayeYou don’t look at any calendar.
Nalla Neram Paarthu PaarthuPicking out the most auspicious hour,
Mudhaliravu PoravaneYou head off for your wedding night,
Pulla Porakkum NerathaBut the exact moment a child is born,
Nee Solla MudiyumaCan you really predict that?
Rendu Viralil S#garettu VachuHolding a c#garette between two fingers,
Izhukkumbodhu Thee PanthamIt glows like a torch when you take a puff.
Pazhiya Soththa Pothachu VachuBurying the old fermented rice,
Parugumbodhu AnanthamThere’s pure bliss in every swallow.
Kanavu Illa Kavala IllaNo dreams to chase and no worries to carry,
Ivanppola Evanum IllaThere’s nobody quite like this guy.
Intha Vayasu PonaOnce this age passes us by,
Vera Vayasu IllaThere’s no other time like it.
Azhaga RasikkalannaIf you don’t stop to admire the beauty,
Avanthan Manushan IllaThen you’re not even human at all.
Ennadi Ennadi MuniyammahoiHey there, Muniyamma, what’s the deal?
Kannula Mai Yu MunniyammahoiYou’ve got kajal in your eyes, Muniyamma,
Yar Vacha Maiyu MuniyammahoiWho was it that applied that kajal?
Nan Vacha Maiyi MuniyammahoiIt’s the kajal that I put there myself.
Pattuchela KootathilaIn this crowd of silk sarees,
Pattamboochi Pola VanthuFluttering around like a butterfly,
Pabarama AdapporenI’m gonna spin like a top,
Onga MunnalaRight here in front of you all.
Ye Madi Veettu MalavikaHey Malavika from the upstairs flat,
Valameenu Pola Vanthu\ Pallakkatti KooppiduthuComing like a sleek ‘scabbard fish’, you’re calling with a wide grin,
Padhi KannaleGiving me a wink with just one eye.
Narambu Ellam Murukku YeraAs my energy surges and my nerves tighten,
Nadanamada PorendaI’m gonna break into a dance!
Malluvetti Mappilla PaiyaA groom-like lad in a fine white ‘mul veshti’,
Machan Kooda AdendaGo ahead and dance with your buddy.
Puduchu Adu Mudichu AduCatch the rhythm and dance, finish the move and dance,
Vidinja Pinnal MudichupoduJust wrap it all up after the sun comes up.
Intha Vayasu PonaOnce this age passes us by,
Vera Vayasu IllaThere’s no other time like it.
Azhaga RasikkalannaIf you don’t stop to admire the beauty,
Avanthan Manushan IllaThen you’re not even human at all.
Illa Illa IllaNo, no, no.
Padichu Paathen YeravillaI tried studying, but nothing stuck in my head,
Kudichu Paathen YeriduchuI tried drinking, and it hit me right away.
Sirichu Paathen SikkavillaI tried a smile, but I didn’t catch a soul,
Morachu Paathen SikkiduchuI tried a glare, and I reeled ’em in.
Nanga Appa Kaasil B#eradippomWe’ll chug b#ers using our old man’s cash,
Smsil SittadippomWe’ll flirt away with texts on our phones.
Vetti Payanu PereduppomWe’ll make a name for being useless guys,

Avanthan Manushan IllaThen you’re not even human at all.
