Hey, like a phone with a dead battery,
don't pull such a dull face!
Go put yourself on charge,
bon bon!
Hey guy standing frozen,
don't just stand there wasted!
The dance battle has begun here,
bon bon!
Hey, like a phone with a dead battery,
don't pull such a dull face!
Go put yourself on charge,
bon bon!
Hey guy standing frozen,
don't just stand there wasted!
The dance battle has begun here,
bon bon bon bon!
All you aunts, come in with a bang,
are all you uncles ready to dance?
All the fat you gained from feasting,
burn it all off, bon bon!
Grab a pinch of disco,
shout "Balle Balle" and come on!
Rock, breakdance, or freak dance,
take them all and jump with joy!
Grab a pinch of disco,
shout "Balle Balle" and come on!
Rock, breakdance, or freak dance,
take them all and jump with joy!
Even an iced cappuccino,
the moment we touch it,
turns piping hot in a snap, say it,
bon bon bon bon!
The girls have laser blades in their eyes,
trimming down the boys' arrogant tails!
When the heads are dancing, why do we need the tail?
Say it, bon bon!
Grab a pinch of disco,
shout "Balle Balle" and come on!
Rock, breakdance, or freak dance,
take them all and jump with joy!
Grab a pinch of disco,
shout "Balle Balle" and come on!
Rock, breakdance, or freak dance,
take them all and jump with joy!
Ah, we hit the gym
and build up our muscles!
Across the whole college,
we show off our swagger!
Every now and then, all the rules
must be broken by us!
All this hype about you guys
isn't worth a thing!
Ah, we come to the gym
and slim right down!
When we go to college,
we actually study our lessons!
Knowing what to do and where,
you have no common sense at all!
If your hearts end up fractured,
we are not to blame!
Grab a pinch of disco,
shout "Balle Balle" and come on!
Rock, breakdance, or freak dance,
take them all and jump with joy!
Aaaah... aaaah... aaah...
Grab a pinch of disco,
shout "Balle Balle" and come on!
Rock, breakdance, or freak dance,
take them all and jump with joy!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Bon Bon' from 'Aahaa Kalyanam' is an energetic, youth-centric dance track filled with playful banter between boys and girls at a wedding celebration. Lyricist Madhan Karky blends contemporary technology metaphors (battery-drained phones, laser eyes) with colloquial Tamil to capture the exuberant atmosphere where relatives of all ages are encouraged to hit the dance floor and shed their inhibitions. The lyrics feature a playful gender battle where boys brag about fitness and rule-breaking while girls counter with sharp wit and grace. Ultimately, the song serves as an invitation to enjoy the celebration through dance and music.
