| Yeh jingilu jingilu jikka | Hey Jingilu Jingilu Jikka |
| Nee jilla janga jacka | You are totally top class and stylish |
| Bagilu katti bigilu oodhum | Holding arms folded and whistling |
| What ah beautyka | What a beauty she is |
| Silku pola iruppaa | She is smooth like Silk |
| Siluthukkiraa eppaa | Oh my, she bristles with pride and style |
| Signal kaatti | Signaling with her eyes |
| Izhukkuraalae automatica | She pulls me in automatically |

| Thallu nekkaa rombha weaka | Move away cleverly, I am feeling so weak |
| Aakkittaalae un pechu kaa | Your talk made me so weak |
| Adichittaakka chappa mookkkaa | If you hit, the nose will flatten |
| Kitta vaaren appalikkaa | I will come near you later |

| En akka maga indhu | Indhu, my sister's daughter |
| Nee pakkam vanthu kundhu | Come sit right beside me |
| Panthikku nee munthu | Be the first one at the feast |

She is smooth like Silk
Oh my, she bristles with pride and style
Signaling with her eyes
She pulls me in automatically
தள்ளு நேக்கா
ரொம்ப வீக்கா ஆக்கிட்டாலே
உன் பேச்சு கா அடிச்சிட்டாக்கா
சப்ப மூக்க கிட்ட வாறேன்

Move away cleverly, I am feeling so weak
Your talk made me so weak
If you hit, the nose will flatten
I will come near you later

Hey sharp knife, whetted knife
A blunt knife without sharpness
That was me yesterday, my friend
Move aside with that malicious intent
Now I am a razor-sharp knife
Try clashing with me if you dare
ரொம்ப ராங்கா நீ
பண்ணிட்ட என்ன என்ன
பொடியான்னு என்னிட்ட
பூமேறங்க நீ வீசிட்ட
தானே அது வரும்பாரு
உன்கிட்ட
You made a massive mistake
You underestimated me as a small kid
You threw it like a boomerang
Watch how it comes right back at you
ரொம்ப கால
தூக்கத்த மேல டிரௌசர்
தான் கிழிஞ்சிடும் பாத்துக்க
டா ரொம்ப நூல ஆட்டாத
கீழ காத்தாடி அறிந்திக்கும்
காத்தோட குதிக்கும்
Don't lift your legs too high
Watch out, your trousers might rip
Don't swing the kite thread too much down below
The kite will snap and jump away with the wind
தள்ளு நேக்கா
ரொம்ப வீக்கா ஆக்கிட்டாலே
உன் பேச்சு கா அடிச்சிட்டாக்கா
சப்ப மூக்க கிட்ட வாறேன்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic song from the film Thiri (2017) is a fast-paced Tamil 'kuthu' track full of local street smarts, playful romantic teasing, and hero-centric bravado. The singer expresses fascination with a vibrant girl named Indhu (referencing her affectionately as 'akka maga'), describing her charming allure and how effortlessly she captivates him. Simultaneously, the track features playful warnings to rivals, drawing metaphoric comparisons between past weakness and present sharp strength (from a blunt knife to a sharp edge). Using iconic Chennai slang, street references like the 5E bus route, and metaphors like kites and boomerangs, the song radiates youth, street attitude, and high energy.
