In French class,

right behind my bench,

bright and fair-complexioned,

there was a pretty girl!

In French class,

right behind my bench,

bright and fair-complexioned,

there was a pretty girl!

I drooled over her by the liters,

I wrote and sent letter after letter!

Lost in dreams every day,

my nights slipped away.

Lost in thoughts of her,

I lost all my weight!

I am a lover boy,

just ask anyone in town!

I am a lover boy,

just ask anyone in town!

Sa Pa Sa Ni Dha Pa Pa Pa...

Ooh-hoo... Ooh-hoo... Ooh-hoo...

Ooh-hoo... Ooh-hoo... Ooh-hoo...

Carrying flowers in hand,

a flower herself walks by.

Every time I watch her,

my legs start to ache.

Carrying flowers in hand,

a flower herself walks by.

Every time I watch her,

my legs start to ache.

Flirting with her eyes,

she cast a net for me.

Without a single word,

she stole my heart away.

If she glanced my way,

I planted a whole garden.

If she offered me a feast,

I sold my house for her!

I am a lover boy,

just ask anyone in town!

I am a lover boy,

just ask anyone in town!

Sa Pa Sa Ni Dha Pa Pa Pa...

Ooh-hoo... Ooh-hoo... Ooh-hoo...

Ooh-hoo... Ooh-hoo... Ooh-hoo...

With the dusky beauty of a cuckoo,

there was a girl.

Just like a peacock,

she called out.

With the dusky beauty of a cuckoo,

there was a girl.

Just like a peacock,

she called out.

With those eyes, with those eyes,

with those big, expressive eyes,

just like Star TV,

she delivered the news!

If she put down a dot,

I drew a full kolam (decorative floor pattern)!

If she drew a line,

I laid down a whole road!

I am a lover boy,

just ask anyone in town!

I am a lover boy,

just ask anyone in town!

Sa Pa Sa Ni Dha Pa Pa Pa...

Ooh-hoo... Ooh-hoo...

In Singapore,

I saw a sculptured beauty.

When she walked up close,

I asked her for her price!

In Singapore,

I saw a sculptured beauty.

When she walked up close,

I asked her for her price!

With her fists and kicks,

she gave me her answer!

Leaving my cheeks swollen,

she chased me down!

I ran for my life,

but she cornered me!

When it comes to running, she is P. T. Usha!

I am a lover boy,

just ask anyone in town!

I am a lover boy,

just ask anyone in town!

Sa Pa Sa Ni Dha Pa Pa Pa...

Ooh-hoo... Ooh-hoo...

I am a lover boy,

just ask anyone in town!

I am a lover boy,

just ask anyone in town!

I am a lover boy,

just ask anyone in town!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

"I am a lover boy" from 'Aasaiyil Oru Kaditham' (1999) is a lighthearted, comedic youth track that captures the protagonist's self-proclaimed identity as an unstoppable romantic. Through humorous vignettes—drooling over a classmate in French class, falling for a dark-skinned beauty, and getting beaten up after a foolish misunderstanding with a girl in Singapore—the protagonist humorously details his romantic misadventures. The lyrics combine late-90s Tamil urban slang, pop culture references (Star TV, P.T. Usha), and playful hyperbole. Despite constantly suffering comical setbacks, losing sleep, losing weight, and getting physically thrashed, he proudly maintains his bravado, declaring to the entire town that he remains an undeterred 'lover boy.'

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Iyaipu (Rhyming)

“litre litre-a jollu vittaenae / Letter letter-a ezhudhi pottaenae”

Use of matching verbal endings ('vittaenae' / 'pottaenae') to give the chorus a punchy, rhythmic cadence.

Simile (Uwamai Ani)

“Star TV polavae / Seithi sonnaalae”

Compares the girl's expressive glance or communication directly to Star TV broadcasting news using the comparative marker 'polavae'.

Hyperbole (Athyukthi Ani)

“Ava pulli vechchaa / Naan kolam pottaen / Ava kodu pottaa / Naan road-u pottaen”

Exaggerates the lover's extreme devotion, claiming he builds roads whenever she draws a line.

Allusion

“Ottaththulae ava PT usha”

References legendary Indian sprinter P.T. Usha to metaphorically describe how swiftly the woman chased him down.
