Like me, the breeze
makes up sweet songs.
Blooming just like me,
the peeping young seedling is full of youth.
Swaying on the bank of the lake,
even the little kurinji flower
searches only for my hair.
Dancing on the ripples of the water,
the little colourful fish
dance when they see my eyes.
Wherever I go,
that sky follows behind me.
If it falls in love with me,
tell me, friend, what will I do?
Like me, the breeze
makes up sweet songs.
Blooming just like me,
the peeping young seedling is full of youth...
Come on, take me out
in this city!
I am just waiting for your call!
Come on over, let's get crazy!
Let's party, one and all!
Youth, youth, youth, youth!
Woah ha!
Sweetness, sweetness, sweetness, sweetness!
Youth, youth, youth, youth!
Sweetness, sweetness, sweetness, sweetness!
In the blowing drizzle and falling rain,
we can get drenched, let's get drenched!
In the biting chill, along the open streets,
we can walk, let's take a walk!
A thousand joys awaken deep within,
not just one or two, it's a delightful story of bliss.
Like a wild river, our river of song flows,
and the reeds on the riverbank clap and dance!
This is a fine day, a golden day, oh ho ho ho!
Come on over, let's get crazy! (x2)
Like me, the breeze
makes up sweet songs.
Blooming just like me,
the peeping young seedling is full of youth.
On the scented flowers, butterflies
are resting, oh, resting!
From the flower's mouth, overflowing honey drops
it has given, oh, given!
The soft sounds of kisses,
I can hear them.
Swept away by this sweet madness in my mind,
I break into a sweat.
A dream of marriage appears before my eyes,
planting so many desires in my heart.
Oh my goodness, somehow, hi yai yai ye hey!
Thanan nanana naanaa
Thanana naanaa, sweet it is...
Blooming just like me,
the peeping young seedling is full of youth.
Swaying on the bank of the lake,
even the little kurinji flower
searches only for my hair.
Dancing on the ripples of the water,
the little colourful fish
dance when they see my eyes.
Wherever I go,
that sky follows behind me.
If it falls in love with me,
tell me, friend, what will I do?
{Haha haahaha ha ha
Hah hah hah ha ha... la la la laa...} (x2)

Overall song meaning

This energetic song captures the carefree joy, exuberance, and romantic daydreams of youth.

Her spirit overflows with excitement as she envisions romance, rain, celebrations, and life's endless sweet possibilities. Written with a mix of traditional Tamil poetic imagery and modern pop sensibilities, the track evolves from an appreciation of nature's beauty to playful excitement about love, wedding dreams, and youthful companionship.
