Walking gracefully step by step,
the queen of beauty,
oh, queen of beauty!
The young queen living deep within our hearts!
Walking gracefully step by step,
the queen of beauty,
oh, queen of beauty!
The young queen living deep within our hearts!
Walking right over
our fluttering hearts,
making us collapse and crumble all at once,
the queen of beauty!
In honour of your stunning beauty, our lady leader,
we have come to start a fan club!
Walking gracefully step by step,
the queen of beauty,
oh, queen of beauty!
The young queen living deep within our hearts!
Walking gracefully step by step,
the queen of beauty,
oh, queen of beauty!
The young queen living deep within our hearts!
Walking right over
our fluttering hearts,
making us collapse and crumble all at once,
the queen of beauty!
In honour of your stunning beauty, our lady leader,
we have come to start a fan club!
Walking gracefully step by step,
the queen of beauty,
oh, queen of beauty!
The young queen living deep within our hearts!
The moment we set eyes on you, girl,
won't we feel like winking?
Won't both our eyes
send you a love letter on their own?
From the cake you put in your mouth,
couldn't you hand over half to us?
The blessing of eating
what has touched your lips—
shouldn't that good fortune be ours?
None of our college lessons
will go into our heads now.
For the lessons of teenage romance,
who else is there besides you?
None of our college lessons
will go into our heads now.
For the lessons of teenage romance,
who else is there besides you?
All the lessons we do not understand,
we have to learn them, buddy!
Walking gracefully step by step,
the queen of beauty,
oh, queen of beauty!
The young queen living deep within our hearts!
Walking right over
our fluttering hearts,
making us collapse and crumble all at once,
the queen of beauty!
In honour of your stunning beauty, our lady leader,
we have come to start a fan club!
Walking gracefully step by step,
the queen of beauty,
oh, queen of beauty!
The young queen living deep within our hearts!
Why does a flower need a skirt?
Why does a girl need an extra wrap?
A gorgeous feast for the eyes,
show it off to us, Kamatchi!
Hiccups have caught in my throat,
you must give me water right away!
My watching eyes are completely dazed,
feeling as if I have downed a shot of liquor!
Every single day, both my feet
simply refuse to walk on the ground.
The eyes that I fixed upon you
will never return back to me.
Every single day, both my feet
simply refuse to walk on the ground.
The eyes that I fixed upon you
will never return back to me.
Just thinking of you, my young heart
melts away like wax, girl!
Walking gracefully step by step,
the queen of beauty,
oh, queen of beauty!
The young queen living deep within our hearts!
Walking right over
our fluttering hearts,
making us collapse and crumble all at once,
the queen of beauty!
In honour of your stunning beauty, our lady leader,
we have come to start a fan club!
Walking gracefully step by step,
the queen of beauty,
oh, queen of beauty!
The young queen living deep within our hearts!
Ahaan hey hey oho!
Hey hey hey hey hey!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This playful, high-energy college song features young male students teasing and praising a stunning woman who walks across campus. They poetically declare her their queen, humorously stating that they want to form an official fan club dedicated solely to her captivating beauty. The track blends lighthearted romantic banter with youth culture references, contrasting dull academic subjects with the irresistible allure of young love. Throughout the verses, the singers describe how her presence distracts them completely from college studies, leaving them intoxicated without drinking and making their hearts melt like wax. Written by Gangai Amaran, the song captures the exuberance and humorous exaggeration characteristic of 1980s Tamil cinema dance numbers.
