Hmm hmmm hmm ..haaa
Twirling his budding moustache,
Throwing a mischievous glance,
He melted me like a soft milk bun!
Hey ey ey!
Adorning her hands with henna,
Wearing silky jasmine in her hair,
She styled my sideburns slick!
Burma shop's mutton chukka,
Street corner's puffed-rice sweets,
Are searching for our honeymoon, my man!
Hey ey ey!
Mettu Street's cool Jigarthanda drink,
Goddess Mariamman's sacred flour lamps,
Paris is soaring high, my girl!
If you and I
Share a kiss,
Female: The Eiffel Tower will catch fire!
Chorus: If we pose together for a selfie,
Female: Even the tower will step down to join us!
Chorus: When Euros and Rupees unite,
Female: Zeroes will stack up like a jackpot!
Chorus: Daai daai daai daai daayi!
When our eyes
Lock with each other,
Male: The power lines will borrow sparks from us!
Chorus: Trying to arrest and tie us down,
Male: Cupid himself will be spellbound by love!
Chorus: When Euros and Rupees unite,
Male: Zeroes will stack up like a jackpot!
Daai daai daai daai daayee ee...
...
Hey, trapped by your spicy mixture-like eyes,
I was completely caught!
Smashed to bits, girl!
Chorus: Smashed to bits, girl!
Hey, my hiccups just won't stop,
And you are the sweet trouble!
It is only you, man!
Chorus: It is only you, man!
Packing eight or ten bags,
Shall we see who wins this, you or me?
Male: Step into the arena, girl!
Chorus: Step into the arena, girl!
Male: Hand over the bull to your man!
Chorus: Hand over the bull!
Just ten children, you say?
I have already staked my claim in London!
Yes, I staked it myself!
Chorus: Dum dum dum!
Dum dum dum!
A wedding in our home!
Dum dum dum!
Dum dum dum!
A wedding in our home!
Twirling his budding moustache,
Throwing a mischievous glance,
He melted me like a soft milk bun!
Hey ey ey!
Adorning her hands with henna,
Wearing silky jasmine in her hair,
She styled my sideburns slick!
If you and I
Share a kiss,
Female: The Eiffel Tower will catch fire!
Chorus: If we pose together for a selfie,
Female: Even the tower will step down to join us!

Male: Cupid himself will be spellbound by love!
Chorus: When Euros and Rupees unite,
Male: Zeroes will stack up like a jackpot!
Daai daai daai daai daayee ho ho-oh!
...
Dum dum dum!
Dum dum dum!
A wedding in our home!
Dum dum dum!
Dum dum dum!
A wedding in our home!
Mmm mmm mmm... haa!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic festive song blends rural Tamil cultural motifs with European elements to celebrate love and marriage. The lyrics contrast traditional Tamil delights—like Madurai Jigarthanda, Jallikattu bull taming, Mariamman temple flour lamps, and local sweets—with iconic French and European symbols like the Eiffel Tower, the Euro currency, and Gin. Through playful dialogue, the lovers express their passionate spark that could symbolically set the Eiffel Tower ablaze and make currency and cultures blend seamlessly like gin in sweet sugar syrup.
