Pudichirukka Lyrics Translation Ananya Bhat | Rajaganapathy | Margazhi Thingal
Ilaiyaraaja structures the exchange around repeated phrases like ‘Pudichirukka’ and ‘Pudichikichu.’ Rajaganapathy and Ananya Bhat describe leaving classroom lessons for a ‘different kind of education’ through mutual affection.
PudichirukkaDo you like it?
PudichikichuI’ve totally fallen for it.
PadippavittuLeaving the studies behind.
PadichukichuWe’ve learned something new.
Vaguppara PaadamellamAll those classroom lessons.
Vagupula VittuputtuWe left them back in class.
Padikkidhu PadikkudhuIt’s studying, yes, it’s studying.
Veravoru PadippuA completely different subject now.
PudichirukkaDo you like it?
PudichikichuIt’s really grown on me.
PadippavittuDropping the books.
PadichukichuTo pick this up instead.
Edhirukku Edhira ThodangiyadhuIt started with us facing off.
Pudhirukku Pudhira ThodargiradhuNow it continues like a sweet mystery.
Pottikki Potti AdipudithaanIt was a contest, a real tussle.
Paathu Naan Thinnen OttikiduchuBut I tried it out and got hooked.
Irandu Manangalin Parisam VendumenaAs if asking for the union of two minds.
Viralgalum VirumbudhaeEven our fingers long to touch.
Lala La LaalaLala la laala.
Kannukkul Sikkuma KattukuyilWill the wild bird get trapped in a glance?
Satta Thittam Nirkka VendumThe rules and regulations must stop.
Veetukkullae MattumThey belong only inside the house.
PudichirukkaDo you like it?
PudichikichuI’m obsessed with it.
PadippavittuForgetting the lessons.
PadichukichuWe’ve learned this by heart.
Vaguppara PaadamellamAll those classroom lessons.
Vagupula VittuputtuWe left them back in class.
Padikkidhu PadikkudhuIt’s studying, yes, it’s studying.
Veravoru PadippuA completely different subject now.
PudichirukkaDo you like it?
PudichirukkaAre you into it?
PudichirukkaDo you love it?
PudichirukkaIs it working for you?
Thullalum Killalum NadakattumaeLet the playful hops and pinches happen.
Konjalum Minjalum ThodarattumaeLet the cuddling and excess continue.
Kattukull Kottamum KudhikattumaeLet our wild antics overflow the bounds.
Aattamum Pattamum KalaiattumaeLet the dance and titles just fade away.
Koottai Vittu Iru ParavaiTwo birds leaving the nest.
Thanimayil Kulavudhae KonjudhaeMingling and cooing in solitude.
Lala La LaalaLala la laala.
Thavikkira Thavippum ThaalavillaiThe longing I feel just won’t subside.
Suttrusoozhal Suthamaaga OthupogavillaiThe environment doesn’t agree with us at all.
PudichirukkaDo you like it?
PudichikichuI’m absolutely hooked.
PadippavittuLeaving the studies behind.
PadichukichuWe’ve learned something new.
