Why tension in life, cool dude?
பக்கெட் சிக்கன் கொஞ்சம் காஃபி
சாப்பிட்டு ஸ்லீப்ப போடு கூல் டியூட்
A bucket of chicken and a little coffee,
Eat up and go to sleep, cool dude!
பாய்பெஸ்டி இன்ட்ரோ தரும் போது
சேட் பண்ண பையன் வந்தா கூல் டியூட்
When introducing your male bestie,
If the boy you are chatting with turns up, cool dude!
இண்டர்வல்ல லைட்டா போடும் போது
எக்ஸோட ஃபேஸ்ஸ பார்த்தா கூல் டியூட்
When lights turn on during movie interval,
If you spot your ex-partner's face, cool dude!
ரொமேன்ஸ் சீன டீப்பா பார்த்தா
ஃபேமிலி உன்னை முறைக்கும்
கிஸ்டரிய டிலீட் பண்ணும் போது
சிஸ்டரு வந்து மிதிக்கும்
If you watch a romantic scene intensely,
Your family will glare at you!
When you are deleting browser history,
Your sister comes and kicks you!
