I would like to know if the translation
is accurate. If not, a correction will
be more than appreciated.
Also, can anyone answer the questions between
the brackets?
Thanks a lot

Song: Yaro Yarodi
yaaroa yaaroadi onnoada purusan
- who? who is he? who is your future husband?
yaaroa yaaroadi un thimirukku arasan
- who? who is he? who is the king of your heidweight?
* (what's a 'king of a headweight'?)
eekki poala laavadikka indhiranaar pandhadikka
- like moon she is bright, indiran is batting
andhap pandhai theerththadippavanoa sollu
- he is the one who scores a sixer with that ball, tell me?
sandhanap pottazhagai saanja nadaiyazhagai
- the beauty of yellow flower the beauty of young girls foot steps
* (what's the link between this line and the next?)
velli vaetti kattiyavanoa sollu
- is he wearing pure white dress, tell me?
thangaththukku vaerkkudhu paarunga paarunga
- look, the young girl's neck is sweating
saandhu kaNNum mayangudhu aenunga aa
- look, why is the young girl's neck sweating?
.
sollik kudunga kudunga kudunga kudunga
- .teach me, teach me.
kannip poNNu nallaa nadippaa ava nadippaa
- this young girl will act nicely
kattilukkup paattup padippaa
- is education needed for the bed?
* (what is meant here? 'this girl will be a good wife, but does she need
education for sex?)
.
kaNNaalam kaNNaalam poongodikkuk kaNNaalam poongodikkuk kaNNaalam
- marriage, marriage, the young girl's marriage
pon thaali poNNukkedhukku edhukku
- why there is an auspicious thread for the bride?
* (what is meant with 'auspicious thread')
mooNu mudi poaduvadhedhukku...aa
- why they are tying 3 knots?
urimaikkaaga oththa mudichchu
- the first knot is for the rights
uRavukkaaga rendaam mudichchu
- the second knot is for relationship
oorukkaaga mooNaam mudichchu
- the third knot is for the world
* (what is meant with 'for the world'?)
mudichchu...mudichchu mudichchu mudichchu
- oh, the knot, knot, knot
pon thaali poNNukkedhukku edhukku
- what's the need for the auspicious thread to the bride?
mooNu mudi poaduvadhedhukku
- why are they tying 3 knots?
