Hey hey eeyayyay
Anjala, Anjala!
Speak to me with sweet affection,
are you a colorful lightning bolt
striking right through me?
Female: La la la
Anjala, Anjala!
Is your gaze an open window?
Are both your eyes
a signal of love?
Female: La la la
Shall I study your beauty?
Female: No, no!
Male: Shall I give you a playful little bite?
Female: No, no!
Male: Under a single blanket, both of us—
come, let's wrestle playfully to win!
Female: No, no, no, no!
Anjala, Anjala!
Speak to me with sweet affection,
are you a colorful lightning bolt
striking right through me?
Female: La la
Anjala, Anjala!
Is your gaze an open window?
Are both your eyes
a signal of love?
Female: La la la
Hey eeyayyay
Collecting all our love letters,
we could publish a book!
Female: Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Tomorrow, when our
child reads it,
we can squirm with shy embarrassment!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
The soap you bathe with every day,
shall I turn into that soap?
Female: Darling, that is going too far!
Shall I say "Chee!" and run away?
Anjala, Anjala,
come cuddle and pamper me a little!
Anjala, oho oh!
Anjala, Anjala!
Speak to me with sweet affection,
are you a colorful lightning bolt
striking right through me?
Female: Yeah, yeah!
Anjala, Anjala!
Is your gaze an open window?
Are both your eyes
a signal of love?
Yeah yeah ya yeah...
Hey eeyyy
Holding your fingers,
I will gently crack your knuckles.
Female: Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Just so that you
will hold me close,
I will pretend to press too hard!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
If someone tries to speak your name,
even a mute person might gain speech!
Female: With all the mischief that you do,
even an old woman would fall in love!
Anjala, Anjala,
shall I come tease you?
Anjala, oho oh!
Anjala, Anjala!
Speak to me with sweet affection,
are you a colorful lightning bolt
striking right through me?
Female: Yeah, yeah!
Anjala, Anjala!
Is my gaze an open window?
Are both my eyes
a signal of love?
Shall I study your beauty?
Female: Yeah, yeah!
Female: Shall I give you a playful little bite?
Yeah, yeah!
Male: Under a single blanket, both of us—
come, let's wrestle playfully to win!
Female: Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Anjala, Anjala!
Speak to me with sweet affection,
are you a colorful lightning bolt
striking right through me?
Female: Yeah, yeah!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Anjala Anjala is a youthful, energetic duet expressing a playful romantic dialogue between two lovers. The male protagonist playfully teases Anjala using inventive urban metaphors—comparing her glance to an open window and her eyes to love signals—while asking to get closer to her. Initially hesitant and playful with her 'no no' responses, Anjala eventually gives in to his affectionate coaxing as the song progresses, matching his enthusiasm in the final chorus. Written by Pa. Vijay, the song captures the lighthearted teasing, modern romance, and flirtatious banter of young lovers.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Iyaibu (End Rhyme)

Anjalaa anjalaa / Nee pesu konjalaa / Nee ennai thaakum / Vanna minnalaa

The ends of consecutive lines rhyme using matching Tamil suffixes like 'Anjalaa', 'konjalaa', and 'minnalaa'.

Metaphor (Uruvagamm)

Un paarvai jannalaa / Un kangal rendum / Kaadhal signalaa

The beloved's glance and eyes are directly compared to a window ('jannalaa') and traffic/love signals ('signalaa').

Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navortchi)

Un peyar solla ninaithaal / Oomaikkum pechu varalaam

Playful exaggeration where the hero claims that uttering her name could cure muteness, and the heroine quips that his mischievous antics could make an old woman fall in love.
