என்னோட லைப்ல பிராப்ளம் இல்ல
பிராப்ளமே இல்லேன லைப்பே இல்ல
பைசப்ஸ்சும் ட்ரைசப்ஸ்சும் நானும் காட்ட
நான் பார்த்த பிகரும்
எனக்கு டாட்டா காட்ட
There is no problem in my life
If there is no problem, it is not life at all
When I show off my biceps and triceps
The girl I looked at
Waved goodbye to me
நல்லா டால்லா பேர்ராதான்
இருக்கேன்டா
சும்மாரு மூஞ்சி பொண்ணுகிட்ட
மாட்டுறேனேடா
I am actually quite tall and fair
My friend!
Yet I get stuck with an average-looking girl
I am trapped, my friend!
டின்டெர் க்ளாஸ் கார்ரு உள்ள
போட்டேனேடா
ஒரு கிஸ்சு கூட மிஸ்சு ஆகி
புஸ்சுன்னுதான் போச்சேடா
Inside a car with tinted glass
I locked myself, my friend!
Even a single kiss got missed
And fizzled out completely, my friend!
என் கையு எனக்கு
உன் கையு உனக்கு
தன் கையே உதவிடா
ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ
My hand is for me
Your hand is for you
Self-help is the best help, my friend!
Hoo hoo hoo ooo
என் கையு எனக்கு
உன் கையு உனக்கு
தன் கையே உதவிடா
வாவ்ஹு வாவ்ஹு வோஹு ஹா
My hand is for me
Your hand is for you
Self-help is the best help, my friend!
Wowhu wowhu wohu haa
செல்லகுட்டி புஜ்ஜிமா நீதான்
என் உயிரே உறவே
இது வரைக்கும் சொன்னதில்லே
ஏன்னா எனக்கு கேர்ள்பிரண்டு இல்ல
நட்பே துணையே எல்லாமே நீதான்
You are my darling baby
My life and my soulmate
I have never said this to anyone until now
Because I never had a girlfriend
Friendship, companion, you are everything to me
நீ நீ நீயாய்
நான் நான் நானாய்
காதல் உண்டானாதே
ஆசை தீண்ட
நெஞ்சம் தாண்ட
எனை விட்டு செல்லாத
பிரேக்அப்பும் பண்ணாத
You remaining as you
I remaining as me
Love was born between us
As desires touch
As the heart overflows
Do not leave me and go
And do not break up with me
ரொம்ப சாப்டு செம்ம சுவீட்டு
எங்க மம்மி
அவங்களையே ஒட்டாம இருந்த
நாளு கம்மி
Really soft and super sweet
Is my mother
If I were not clinging to her
I would have lost my mind
மிலிட்டரி மேன்னு போல இருந்தா
ஸ்ட்ரிக்ட்டு டாடி
அதனால நானும் ஆனேனே
செம்ம கேடி
Like a military man
Was my strict dad
Because of that, I became
A total trickster
புரிய வைக்க ஆளு இல்லாம
வளர்ந்தேன்டா
பப்பி ஓட முன்னால
உருண்டு பெரண்டேனடா
லைப்ப நினைச்சு டென்ஷன்
தலைக்கு ஏறுமேடா
நம்ப நினைச்சமாறி
சூன்னு லைப்பு தானா மாறும்டா
With no one around to make me understand
I grew up, my friend
In front of a puppy
I rolled around and played, my friend
Thinking about life, tension
Rushes up to my head, my friend
Just as we wished
Life will automatically change soon, my friend!
Hoo hoo ooo hoo hoo ooo

Ennoda life-ula problem illa
There is no problem in my life
Problemae illaena lifeae illa
If there is no problem, it is not life at all
Biceps-um triceps-um naanum kaatta
When I show off my biceps and triceps
Naan paartha figure-um
The girl I looked at
Enakku taata kaatta
Waved goodbye to me
Nalla tall-ah fair-ah thaan
I am actually quite tall and fair
Irukken da
My friend!
Summaru moonji ponnu kitta
Yet I get stuck with an average-looking girl
Maatturenae daa
I am trapped, my friend!
Tinted glassu car-u ulla
Inside a car with tinted glass
Poottenae daa
I locked myself, my friend!
Oru kissu kooda missu aagi

Because I never had a girlfriend
Natpae thunaiyae ellamae needhan
Friendship, companion, you are everything to me
Nee nee neeyaai
You remaining as you
Naan naan naanaai
I remaining as me
Kaadhal undaanadhae
Love was born between us
Aasai theenda
As desires touch
Nenjam thaanda
As the heart overflows
Enai vittu selladha
Do not leave me and go
Break up-um pannadha
And do not break up with me
Romba softu semma sweetu
Really soft and super sweet
Enga mummy
Is my mother
Avangalayae ottama irundha
If I were not clinging to her
Naalu kammi
I would have lost my mind
Military man-u pola irundha
Like a military man
Strict-u daddy
Was my strict dad
Adhanaala naanum aanenae
Because of that, I became
Semma kedi
A total trickster
Puriya vaikka aalu illama
With no one around to make me understand
Valarnthen da
I grew up, my friend
Puppy oda munnaala
In front of a puppy
Urundu perandenadaa
I rolled around and played, my friend
Life-ah nenachu tension
Thinking about life, tension
Thalaikku yerumae daa
Rushes up to my head, my friend
Namba nenacha maari

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This lighthearted track from the film 'Puppy' (2019) expresses the comedic reflections and life philosophy of a young man. He talks about his bad luck with romance despite working on his physique, his realization that self-reliance is paramount, and his fond yet chaotic family dynamic involving a sweet mother and a strict military father. Through humorous Tanglish lyrics, the song conveys that despite life's awkward moments and mounting stress, staying positive and true to oneself will eventually turn things around for the better.

Features matching second consonant sounds ('theenda' and 'thaanda') to build a rhythmic cadence.
Repetition (Epanalepsis)
