தூண்டில் போடும் குட்டி ஸ்பர்ரோ
Hit love, hit love!
Our pair is ultimate
If she gives a glance, it causes a world war
A tiny sparrow casting a fishing hook
உன்னால உன்னால எல்லாமே உன்னால
ஓகேனு சொன்னாலே கெத்தாவேன் தன்னால
கண்ணால கண்ணால அவ கத்தி கண்ணால
360 டிகிரி ல நான் ஸ்டாப்பா செஞ்சாலே
Because of you, because of you, everything is because of you
If you say okay, I will automatically gain style and pride
With eyes, with eyes, her knife-like eyes
She completely finished me off non-stop in 360 degrees
உன்னை போல் ஆள நான் பார்த்ததில்லை
யாரும் பார்த்தத சொல்லியும் கேட்டதில்லை
ஹார்ட்டு தான் போகுது ஸ்கூலு குள்ள
லவ் சிலபஸ நீ சொல்ல
I haven't seen anyone like you
I haven't even heard anyone say they've seen someone like you
My heart goes inside the school
For you to teach the love syllabus
மெல்லமா பார்த்தேனா மிஸ்ஸு வோர்ல்டு
கொஞ்சம் வேகமா பார்த்தேனா மிஸ்ஸு கோல்டு
சொல்லு சொல்லு என் நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள
ஹை வோல்டு கர்ரண்டு
If I look slowly, she looks like Miss World
If I look a bit fast, she looks like Miss Gold
Tell me, tell me, inside my heart
It is like a high-voltage current
அஸ்கு மாரோ அஸ்கா மாரோ
அல்டிமேட்டு நம்ம பேரோ
லுக்கு விட்டா வோர்ல்டு வாரோ
தூண்டில் போடும் குட்டி ஸ்பர்ரோ
Hit love, hit love!

Our pair is ultimate
If she gives a glance, it causes a world war
A tiny sparrow casting a fishing hook
சுத்தாத சுத்தாத
ரீல் ரீலா சுத்தாத
இல்லாத பொல்லாத கதையெல்லாம் வுடாத
கொல்லாத கொல்லாத சீனு போட்டு கொல்லாத
கத்தாத கத்தாத என் காதுல கத்தாத
Don't spin, don't spin
Don't spin stories like film reels
Don't blabber non-existent, fake tales
Don't kill, don't kill, don't kill me by putting up a scene
Don't shout, don't shout, don't shout in my ear
உன்னை போல் ஆளு தான் நூறு பேரு
நான் பார்த்தவ நீ வாய மூடு
செல்லாத செல்லத்தான் காய போடு
என் கிட்ட தான் செல்லாது
அப்படி இப்படி வந்து நூலு விட்டு
வந்து டெய்லி தான் மொக்கையும் வாங்கிகிட்டு
காரி துப்புனாலும் மூஞ்சி தொடச்சிகினு
இது என்னடா பொழப்பு
There are a hundred people like you
I've seen them, so shut your mouth a bit
Play your invalid coins elsewhere
It won't work out with me
Coming around here and there trying to flirt
Coming daily and getting thoroughly humiliated
Even if spat on, wiping your face off
What kind of life is this?

Has he accumulated too many electric bulbs (rejections)?
Did he pay the electricity bill for them?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Asku Maaro' is an energetic Tamil independent pop single featuring a playful banter between two lovers. The male lead attempts to woo his love interest using colorful Madras slang, dramatic declarations, and flattering comparisons. The female lead hilariously counters by calling out his exaggerated stories, cheesy pickup lines, and his history of facing embarrassing rejections. Despite the lighthearted teasing, the track progresses to reveal her fond appreciation for his persistence and boldness. Ultimately, both acknowledge their perfect chemistry, culminating in a fun, romantic agreement to be together.
