அவ ஹையோ ஹையோ ஹையோ
கொல்லுறாலே
தவுசன் வாட்டு கண்ணால
என்ன மெல்ல மெல்ல மெல்ல
மெல்லுறாலே
சூடான ஜிலேபி போல.....
Oh my, oh my, oh my, she...
She is killing me!
With her thousand-watt eyes,
Slowly, slowly, slowly...
She is chewing on me,
Like a hot jalebi...
Bougainvillea ரோஸ் எல்லாம்
போதை ஏறி கேட்குமாம்
அவ புது பூவினமா.....பூவினமா
ஹைக்கு லிமெரிக் வெண்பாலாம்
வெக்க பட்டு கேட்க்குமாம்
அவ அஞ்சு அடி கவிதையா
All the bougainvillea and roses
Would ask in an intoxicated haze,
"Is she a new species of flower?"
Haiku, limerick, and Venba poetry forms
Would blush with shyness and ask,
"Is she a five-foot poem?"
மூடு பனி நேரம் பார்த்து
அவளோடு ஈசிஆர்யில்
லாங் டிரைவ்வு போக சொல்ல
அவளால அவசதைகள் ஏராளம்தான்
ஹையோ என் லைப்புல
லவ் மூடு ஸ்டார்ட் ஆய்டுச்சே
Looking at the foggy weather,
Along with her on the ECR road,
Asking to go on a long drive...
Because of desire, there are so many struggles!
Oh my, in my life,
A mood for love has officially started!
அவ ஹையோ ஹையோ ஹையோ
கொல்லுறாலே
தவுசன் வாட்டு கண்ணால
என்ன மெல்ல மெல்ல மெல்ல
மெல்லுறாலே
சூடான ஜிலேபி போல.....
Oh my, oh my, oh my, she...
She is killing me!
With her thousand-watt eyes,
Slowly, slowly, slowly...
She is chewing on me,
Like a hot jalebi...
அவ ஹையோ ஹையோ ஹையோ
கொல்லுறாலே
தவுசன் வாட்டு கண்ணால
என்ன மெல்ல மெல்ல மெல்ல
மெல்லுறாலே

Oh my, oh my, oh my, she...
She is killing me!
With her thousand-watt eyes,
Slowly, slowly, slowly...
She is chewing on me,
Like a hot jalebi...
ஆரோமலே பேபி
அவ பியூட்டி
தனி கிளாஸ்சுதான்
ஹிப்னாடிக் கண்ணால
என்ன மயங்க வச்சிட்டாலே
Oh my sweet baby,
Her beauty
Is in a class of its own!
With her hypnotic eyes,
She made me swoon completely.
கோல்டில் செஞ்ச தெரு
அவ நடந்த
செம மாஸ்சுதான்
வடம் புடிச்சி பின்னால்
என்ன அலைய வச்சிட்டா
A chariot crafted out of gold—
When she walks,
It is absolute style and charm!
Holding the rope behind her chariot,
She made me wander around.
அந்த கோகினூரு திருடி
அவ கால் கொலுசில் மாட்டி
அத ஹனிமூன்லதான்
தருவேன்.....தருவேன்
ஒண்ணா சேர்ந்து வாழத்தானே
ஒரு லோன் போடுவேனே
அந்த காஷ்மீருல
வீடு வாங்குவேனே.....ஏ......
Stealing that Kohinoor diamond,
And attaching it to her anklet,
Only during our honeymoon,
I will give it to her... I will give it!
Just so we can live together as one,
I will apply for a loan,
And in Kashmir,
I will buy a house!
அவ ஹையோ ஹையோ ஹையோ
கொல்லுறாலே
தவுசன் வாட்டு கண்ணால
என்ன மெல்ல மெல்ல மெல்ல
மெல்லுறாலே
சூடான ஜிலேபி போல.....
Oh my, oh my, oh my, she...
She is killing me!
With her thousand-watt eyes,
Slowly, slowly, slowly...
She is chewing on me,
Like a hot jalebi...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Haiyo Haiyo' (Haiyo Kadhale) is a lively, contemporary love track from 'Oh My Kadavule' that captures the exuberance and madness of young love. The song portrays a young man utterly smitten by his love interest, using urban Tanglish slang and creative metaphors—comparing her presence to a hot jalebi, a golden chariot, and a five-foot living poem that makes even traditional poetic meters blush.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Simile (Uwamai)
“Soodaana jilebi pola…”
Compares the sweet, enticing, and irresistible nature of the girl to a hot, freshly made jalebi using 'pola' (like).
Personification
“Haiku limerick venbalaam / Vekka pattu ketkumaam”
Poetic forms (Haiku, Limerick, Venba) are personified as getting shy and asking if she is a five-foot poem.
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navitchi Ani)
“1000 wattu kannaala”
Exaggerates the brightness and intensity of her eyes by describing them as having a '1000-watt' glow.
Iyaipu (Rhyming end words)
“Ava yemma yemma kollura / Enna summa summa mellura / Ava kanna vechi thaakkura / Enna kandam thundam aakura”
The lines end with rhythmic, rhyming verb endings ('kollura', 'mellura', 'thaakkura', 'aakura').
