Ennammaa aaththora kuruvi Engae porae nee nazhuvi
Ennammaa aaththora kuruvi Engae porae nee nazhuvi

Kattu kattaana poonkoonthal aruvi Mella kottattum ennai thazhuvi
Kattu kattaana poonkoonthal aruvi Mella kottattum ennai thazhuvi

Ennaiyyaa nagaraththil pazhagi Yaarai paarththaalum manaivi
Ennaiyyaa nagaraththil pazhagi Yaarai paarththaalum manaivi

Patti kaattora singaara azhagi Parisham pottaakkaa sontha kuruvi

Poonjolai mullaikodi Kadhal poovaaga pooththaal enna
Poonjolai mullaikodi Kadhal poovaaga pooththaal enna
Kaaththaaga mazhaiyaaga naan konjam vizhunthu Kannaalae paarththaal enna

Thaerottam vannakkili Idhu sendhooram minnum kili
Thaerottam vannakkili Idhu sendhooram minnum kili
Kalyaanam illaamae kai poda paarththaal Kann melae koththum kili

Intha manjala thanthava kungumam kondava Kovilin neruppaa
Unna maathiri aambala bodhaiyil pesinaal Kaavalil ninnurukkaa

Intha manjala thanthava kungumam kondava Kovilin neruppaa

Song Meaning & Analysis

The song "Ennamma Aathora Kuruvi" from the 1976 movie 'Lalitha' is a classic playful duet between a man and a woman, embodying a common trope in Tamil cinema where a city-bred man tries to woo a village girl. The man, perhaps a bit forward due to his urban exposure, uses poetic language to express his desire, comparing the woman to a riverbank sparrow and her hair to a cascading waterfall, inviting her embrace. He playfully dismisses the need for formal marriage by referencing ancient times, suggesting that happiness existed without the confines of traditional family life.

The woman, representing traditional village values, responds with wit and firmness. She rebukes his city ways, where he seems to see every woman as a potential wife, and warns him against inappropriate advances, likening herself to a parrot that would peck his eyes if he tried to touch her without marriage. She emphasizes the sanctity of marriage (referring to turmeric and vermilion) and rejects a casual relationship, stating that living like "goats and cows" is not righteous and that they are not of the kind to live "just any which way," asserting her dignity and moral boundaries. The song captures the push-and-pull of flirtation, cultural differences, and the woman's strong stance on respect and commitment.
