If college lessons get boring,
Look at our gang coming together!
When we do rounds around the ground,
Watch everything dance to our sound!
Give a lecture to the professor,
Make them run right out of the campus,
Let go of all tension into a deal,
Strip away all worries and cares!
Oye oo oye oo
Male: Along with college life,
Chorus: Oye oo oye oo
Male: Where are controls here?
Chorus: Oye oo oye oo
Male: Freedoms are in hand,
Chorus: Oye oo oye oo
Male: Celebrate with friends!
……………………………………………
The juniors who arrived in June,
Include them in the gang by January!
Male: As for the seniors showing off attitude,
Set them right properly!
Toiling and wearing ourselves out for marks,
We studied, but what happened?
Memorizing endlessly by rote,
Even our brains got worn out!
Moving from year to year,
Hopping from branch to branch,
Love shifts from heart to heart,
Go ahead and express your love!
Oye oo oye oo
Female: Along with college life,
Chorus: Oye oo oye oo
Female: Where are controls here?
Chorus: Oye oo oye oo
Female: Freedoms are in hand,
Chorus: Oye oo oye oo

If college lessons get boring,
Look at our gang coming together…oo…oo
……………………………………………..
Making an excuse in the name of a project,
Didn't we go to the movie theater?
Letting all the theory slide away,
We became practical!
Claiming we will transform India,
Didn't we speak at the interview?
Female: Becoming one of the crowd,
We flourished in our minds!
Male: Even if we go off for a job,
Even if we go off for post-graduation,
On the Facebook group,
Won't the fragrance of college streets keep wafting?
Oye oo oye oo
Chorus: Along with college life,
Male: Oye oo oye oo

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This energetic college anthem captures the carefree spirit, joy, and camaraderie of student life. It portrays the everyday fun of college students bunking classes, teasing professors, hanging out in gangs, and navigating the ups and downs of academics and romance with lighthearted optimism.
