Unga Veettu Kalyanam’s Pesamal Vaa En Pakkam Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Kovai Soundararajan requests physical closeness immediately. L. R. Eswari counters with witty delays, citing her father’s presence. Vaali inserts wordplay about shyness ‘killing’ her, met with a suggestion to ‘eat’ the feeling away.
