Hey, I looked at only you,
I asked you to come with me!
Hand in hand, won't you
Bring the moon along, girl?
Hey, I swear on my mother,
I will never let you go!
If you step inside my life,
I'll keep you safe inside my eyes, girl!
Just speaking about you
Tastes so sweet, girl!
Any paper with your name written on it
Catches fire, girl!
Are all my uncles and in-laws
Going to be British from now on?
Just confess your love,
I'll add the subtitles myself, girl!
Bimbilikki bimbilikki pilappi,
Should I believe this or not, my sweet Jalebi?
Bimbilikki bimbilikki pilappi,
If you say yes, shall we blow the trumpets pee-pee-pee?
Hey, I looked at only you,
I asked you to come with me!
Hand in hand, won't you
Bring the moon along, girl?
Hey, I swear on my mother,
I will never let you go!
If you step inside my life,
I'll keep you safe inside my eyes, girl!
Just looking at you, I don't know why,
A cool breeze washes over me.
Hey, I need to come and light a lamp,
Where is your house?
Hey, if we make a list in your country,
There are so many heroes!
Hey, yet she has jumped over to the Tamil side—
This English girl!
An innocent face,
Yet full of undeniable style!
Is that why
I've fallen for you?
Hey, sparks fly the moment you touch me,
You sweet, fresh rose!
Thinking of my good luck,
I can't help but smile!
Hey, your voice plays daily
On repeat inside my heart!
Male: Hey, I'll come all the way to London
And treat you to a feast on a discount!
Are all my uncles and in-laws
Both: Going to be from Chennai from now on?
Just confess your love,
I'll add the subtitles myself, boy!
Bimbilikki bimbilikki pilappi,
Should I believe this or not, my sweet Jalebi?
Bimbilikki bimbilikki pilappi,
If you say yes, shall we blow the trumpets pee-pee-pee?
Hey, I looked at only you,
I asked you to come with me!
Hand in hand, won't you
Bring the moon along, girl?
Hey, I swear on my mother,
I will never let you go!
If you step inside my life,
I'll keep you safe inside my eyes, girl!
Just speaking about you
Tastes so sweet, girl!
Any paper with your name written on it
Catches fire, girl!
Are all my uncles and in-laws
Going to be British from now on?
Just confess your love,
I'll add the subtitles myself, girl!
Bimbilikki bimbilikki pilappi,
Should I believe this or not, my sweet Jalebi?
Bimbilikki bimbilikki pilappi,
If you say yes, shall we blow the trumpets pee-pee-pee?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'Bimbilikki Pilapi' is a fun, high-energy dance track from the film 'Prince' (2022). The song depicts a romantic, cross-cultural courtship between a Tamil young man and an English woman. Through lighthearted and humorous lyrics written by Vivek, the protagonist expresses his overwhelming affection, declaring that he is willing to bridge any language barrier by adding 'subtitles' to their love. The lyrics playfully tease cultural mix-ups, family reactions, and urban Tamil slang while celebrating the joy of falling in love across borders.
