Just casually, just casually, casually, casually, casually
Just casually, just like that...
A girl, just casually...
Looked at me and smiled, just like that...
She and I, just casually...
At five o'clock, just casually...
Just casually, just casually, just like that, just like that
Just casually, just like that...
A guy, just casually...
Looked at me and smiled, just like that...
He and I, just casually...
At five o'clock, just casually...
Just casually, just like that, casually, casually, just like that
Just casually, just like that...
Just chatting casually,
Just hanging out casually,
Teasing with longing, she drove me completely crazy!
A girl, just casually...
Looked at me and smiled, just like that...
She and I, just casually...
At five o'clock, just casually...
Just casually, just casually, just like that, just like that
Just casually, just like that...
Just casually brushing past me...
Just casually talking sweet...
Just casually teasing and nudging...
He enjoys every bit of it, just like that...
Chillumu chikkaan... chillu chillu chillumu chikkaan
Just casually hinting with your eyes...
Just casually slipping on bangles...
Just casually jingling your anklets...
You stir up my heart, just like that...
Chillumu chikkaan... chillu chillu chillumu chikkaan
Longing and longing for you, it turned into a fever...
Every tip of my mustache prickles like a needle...
If you need a bindi (forehead mark) for your forehead, shall I steal the moon?
If you want sandalwood paste to wear, shall I kidnap Veerappan?
You butter me up so nicely with all your sweet talk!
A guy, just casually...
Looked at me and smiled, just like that...
He and I, just casually...
At five o'clock, just casually...
Just casually, just like that, casually, casually, just like that
Just casually, just like that...
Just like that... oh mister!
Just like that... hey mister!
Just casually acting so shy...
Just casually biting your nails...
Just casually swaying and bending your waist...
You stir up my desires, just like that...
Chillumu chikkaan... chillu chillu chillumu chikkaan
Just casually glaring and staring...
Just casually burning with impatience...
Just casually lighting a fire...
He smolders on the inside, just like that...
Chillumu chikkaan... chillu chillu chillumu chikkaan
Even poet Valluvar didn't enact love like you do!
There is no need for dawn to break in a town where you smile!
Here and there, on every spot, may I kiss you?
Should a feud break out between the god of love and the creator?
Why blow on a silent conch and stir up trouble?
A girl, just casually...
Looked at me and smiled, just like that...
She and I, just casually...
At five o'clock, just casually...
Just casually, just casually, just like that, just like that
Just casually, just like that...

Looked at me and smiled, just like that...
He and I, just casually...
At five o'clock, just casually...
Just casually, just like that, casually, casually, just like that
Just casually, just like that...
Just casually chatting, just
casually hanging out,
Teasing with longing, she drove me completely crazy!

Overall song meaning
This playful duet features a young couple playfully recalling how a casual meeting at 5 o'clock unexpectedly transformed into intense romantic passion.

The song uses lighthearted banter and exaggerated romantic promises to convey the joy and excitement of budding love.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Adukku Thodar (Repetition / Anaphora)
“Chumma chumma chumma chumma chumma”
The phrase 'Chumma chumma' (meaning 'just casually') is repeated extensively to set a casual, energetic rhythmic tone.
Edhukai (Second Letter Rhyme)
“Chumma chumma chumma jaadai kaati..”
The second letters 'da' in 'jaadai', 'lai' in 'valaiyal', and 'lu' in 'kolusa' blend with matching verbs ('kaati', 'maati', 'aati').
Hyperbole (Uvarvu Navirtchi)
“Sandhanam poosa venumunna…. veerapana kadathavaa”
Playful exaggeration where the lover offers to steal the moon for a bindi or kidnap the infamous forest brigand Veerappan to fetch sandalwood.
