Heyy…
Boomi enna suthudhae
Umai nenju kathudhae
En munnadi sukiran
Kaiya katti nikkudhae
{Hey ennoda peru seeraanadhae
Hey ennoda paadhai ner aanadhae
Hey zero vum ippo nooraanadhae
ada nooraanadhae} (2)
Santha pakkam pogalam
Panju mittai vaangalam
Beach pakkam pogalam
Ranga raatinam suthalam
{Vaazahkai mella mella okay aanadhae
Jodi vandhu ippo jolly aanadhae
Bike Rideu Kuda Happy Aanadhe
Kaalam vandhadhae.. gethu aanadhae} (2)
Engeyo pogum kaathu
Ipo en jannal pakkam veesum
En kuda porantha sabam
Ipa thannalayae therrum
Boomi enna suthudhae
Umai nenju kathudhae
En munnadi sukiran
Kaiya katti …kaiya katti
Kaiya katti nikkudhaeeee..
Hey...
The earth is spinning around me,
my silent heart is screaming with joy,
Right in front of me, Sukran (planet of good luck)
stands with folded hands!
Hey, my name has finally been set right,
Hey, my path has straightened out,
Hey, a zero has now become a hundred,
Oh, it has become a hundred! (2)
We can go to the market,
we can buy cotton candy,
we can head to the beach,
we can ride the giant wheel!
Life is slowly, slowly getting okay,
I found a partner and things are so fun now,
even a bike ride has become full of joy,
My time has come... full of swagger! (2)
The breeze that was blowing somewhere else
now blows right through my window.
The curse that was born with me
is now fading away all on its own!
The earth is spinning around me,
my silent heart is screaming with joy,
Right in front of me, Sukran (planet of good luck)
with folded hands... with folded hands,
stands with folded hands!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song expresses the ecstatic jubilation of a protagonist whose fortune has completely flipped for the better. Having previously struggled with low self-esteem, bad luck, and social awkwardness (feeling like a 'zero'), he now feels like a 'hundred' as love, happiness, and respect enter his life. The lyrics capture simple everyday joys—like buying cotton candy, riding a Ferris wheel, or going on a bike ride with his beloved—to highlight how transformed his world feels. He poetically notes that even planet Venus (representing luck) now stands humbly before him, and his lifelong curse is finally lifting.

Poetic devices

Oxymoron / Paradox

“Umai nenju kathudhae”

Combining two contradictory concepts: 'Umai' (mute/silent) and 'kathudhae' (screaming) to emphasize intense internal emotion.

Personification

“En munnadi sukiran Kaiya katti nikkudhae”

Personifying 'Sukiran' (Planet Venus/Symbol of Luck) as standing humbly with folded hands before the protagonist.

Contrast / Hyperbole

“Hey zero vum ippo nooraanadhae”

Contrasting 'Zero' (insignificant) with 'Noor' (a hundred/perfection) to portray extreme transformation in personal status.

Iyaibu (End Rhyme)

“Hey ennoda peru seeraanadhae / Hey ennoda paadhai ner aanadhae”

Use of repeating rhythmic suffixes ('aanadhae') across consecutive lines to create a catchy, upbeat cadence.
