Fending off on the left,

To sleep at night,
The energy for romance is draining,
Pity these poor youth!

In five hundred different styles,
Girl, I will show you by saying 'I love you'!

The song 'Gilmaama' from the film Kick (2022) is a playful, high-energy dance track heavy with colloquial Chennai (Madras) slang. The lyrics depict a fun, flirtatious exchange between two lovers who express their intense attraction and playful obsession with each other. Metaphorically asking to be locked inside the lover's wristwatch, the protagonist expresses the irresistible spell cast by their partner.
