Hey excuse...
Me, Mr. Kandasamy...
Let's drink a coffee,
Come with me!
Is it hot or cold?
Touch and see for yourself!
Get lost, get lost!
Excuse...
Me, Mr. Kandasamy...
Let's go for a long drive,
Come with me, whether slow...
...or fast, drive and see for yourself!
Get lost, you broken SIM card!
You empty iPod! Switching you...
...on is just a waste of time!
You Hutch bulldog! You annoying Kilpauk lunatic!
If I steer completely clear of you, I'll be safe!
Hey dirt road,
Hey dirt road, when will you ever become...
...a main road?
Get lost! Female: You get lost!
Go, go, go!
Excuse me,
Excuse me,
Ms. Subbulakshmi,
Your activities are...
...all wrong, Lakshmi!
Your talk and your thoughts...
...are complete trash, Lakshmi!
Get lost, get lost!
...
Hey Kandasamy,
The deity who entered my life like a storm!
Looking at my beauty, in his heart...
...he grieved, oh burnt-out deity, pui!
It's not because of your beauty,
this deity suffered because of your torment!
This deity won't fall into your hands!
Ramasamy said...
...that there is no God.
And Kandasamy says...
...that there is no love!
No way, no way, no way!
Grandpa Valluvar said so,
he told us to cross love-feuds and unite...
...sharply in his very last couplet!
No, no, no!
Don't try to fool me!
If I come with you, just fighting...
...will waste my entire life!
You granddaughter of Hitler!
Granddaughter of Hitler, love...
...is not a war, don't kill me!
You grandson of Lincoln!
Grandson of Lincoln...
...don't kill me talking...
...and talking philosophy!
I am Kashmir,
and you are Pakistan, our fight...
...will never end!
Get lost! Female: You get lost!
Go, go, go!
Hey excuse me,
Mr. Kandasamy,
Let's drink a coffee,
Come with me!
Is it hot or cold?
Touch and see for yourself!
Get lost, get lost!
...
Hey, why are you...
...acting so over the top?
You aren't letting me do anything!
Aren't you an educated girl?
Yet I can't read or understand you at all!
Hey hey, move away!
Push me aside and go!
Shut your mouth a bit!
Shut it completely!
Oh dear!
No, no, no!
No wasteful talk!
If you let me go now, realizing your mistake...
...you will only cry later!
Hey, get lost, get lost!
Get lost, you fool of a lady!
Believing girls and turning crazy,
...there are tens of millions of boys!
Hey, you sack of salt!
You sack of salt, all my life...
...I will carry you!
Hey, you duck egg!
You duck egg, even a flock of ducks...
...won't accept you into their group!
Don't speak like a crazy person!
Please come along, changing your track!
Hey excuse me,
Mr. Kandasamy,
Let's drink a coffee,
Come with me!
Is it hot or cold?
Touch and see for yourself!
Get lost, get lost!
Get lost! Female: You get lost!
Go, go, go!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'Excuse Me Mr. Kandasamy' is a highly energetic, urban duet structured as a playful banter between Subbulakshmi and Kanthaswamy. Subbulakshmi aggressively flirts and tries to break down Kanthaswamy's tough exterior, inviting him for coffee, drives, and romantic companionship. In contrast, Kanthaswamy humorously rebuffs her advances using modern technological terms, pop culture references, and eccentric insults to maintain his stoic persona. Beneath the surface of their energetic bickering (a classic 'oodal' dynamic in Tamil literature), the song highlights mutual attraction hidden behind witty insults and ego clashes. Packed with Tanglish vocabulary and contemporary late-2000s slang, the song captures a youthful, fiery romantic dynamic.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Metaphor

Podi ota sim cardae / Empty ipodae

Compares the heroine to broken or useless electronic devices (damaged SIM card, empty iPod) to humorously express annoyance.

Ethugai (Second letter rhyme)

Kadavul illanu / Kaadhal illanu

The second consonant sound 'da' (ட) rhymes across both lines ('Kadavul' and 'Kaadhal').

Geopolitical Simile/Metaphor

Kashmir naan / Nee pakistan theeraadhu Dishyum dhaan

Compares their constant romantic friction and arguments to the unresolved territorial conflict between Kashmir and Pakistan.

Iyaipu (End Rhyme)

Ms.subbulakshmi / Thapu lakshmi / Romba kuppa lakshmi

The end of consecutive lines rhyme using 'lakshmi' paired with matching inner rhymes ('Thapu', 'Kuppa').

Trivia

The song was composed by Devi Sri Prasad and rendered by lead actor Chiyaan Vikram himself alongside singer Suchitra. The lyrics written by Viveka heavily feature modern Tanglish, tech metaphors (SIM card, iPod, Hutch bulldog), and playful references to historical figures like Periyar (Ramasamy), Thiruvalluvar, Hitler, and Abraham Lincoln.
