அலுபா அலுபா
என்ன மென்னுதான் கொன்னாயே
உன்னாலதான் என்னென்னவோ ஆனேன்
Such swagger, such attitude!
You chewed me up and killed me!
Because of you, I have become so many things.
அலும்பா அலும்பா
கண்டுக்காமத்தான் போராளே
கட்டம் கட்டி உன்ன கட்டுவேன் பேபி
Showing off, showing so much attitude!
She walks past without even taking notice of me.
I will corner you and marry you, baby!
காந்த கண்ணுல லவ்வ காட்டுற
காலி நெஞ்சுல ஹார்ட்ட வீசுற
கொரியன் ஹார்ட்ட போல
குட்டியாக்குற டாலி
You show your love through magnetic eyes,
You throw a heart into my empty chest,
Just like a Korean finger heart,
Making me shrink/go crazy, my dolly!
சிக்கி முக்கி நான்
விக்கி நிக்கிறேன்
தட்டி முட்டி நான்
உன்னில் சிக்குறேன்
அட்டி போட்டு நான்
எட்டி பாக்குறேன் டாலி
Like striking flintstones, I
Stand here choked and breathless.
Stumbling and tripping, I
Get completely caught up in you.
Hanging around and looking sharp, I
Peek at you on the sly, my dolly!
நானும் நீயும் ஃபேரா போனா
ஊரே காலி டாலி
ஒன்னா சேந்து ஸ்டோரி போட்டா
லைப்பே ஜாலி டாலி
If you and I walk as a pair,
The whole town will be stunned/blown away, dolly!
If we put up a social media story together,
Life will be so jolly, my dolly!
கோல்டு வைரம் பிளாட்டினத்தில
தாரேன் தாலி
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள சிக்கிட்டா
நீதான் ஹோலி டாலி
In gold, diamonds, and platinum,
I will tie the wedding thread for you, dolly!
Now that you're trapped inside my heart,
You are my festival of colors (Holi), dolly!
மறைந்து ஒளிந்து பார்க்கிறேன் பெண்ணே
திரும்ப திரும்ப ரசிக்கிறேன் அன்பே
மறைந்து ஒளிந்து பார்க்கிறேன் பெண்ணே
நெருங்க நெருங்க விரும்புறேன் அன்பே
I hide and sneakily watch you, girl,
I admire you again and again, my love.
I hide and sneakily watch you, girl,
As you get closer, my desire grows, my love.
மழையினில் ரசிக்கிறேன்
துளியினில் இவளினில் ஆசை
குளிரினில் அருகில் வா
அணைகட்டும் இமைகளில் உந்தன் மீசை
I revel in the falling rain,
There is desire for her in every drop,
Come closer to me in this chill,
Let your mustache embrace my eyelids.
விதிமுறை விளக்கியே
விரல்களில் நடத்திடு லீலை
விரும்பியே கொடுக்கிறேன்
நான் மனதை
Setting aside all breaks and boundaries,
Play playful games with your fingers.
I willingly surrender and offer
My entire heart to you.
இறுக்கம் நெருக்கம் கூடனுமே ஹோ
நெருங்க விழிகளும் மூடனுமே ஹோ
தொலச்ச என்ன ஒன்னு தேடனுமே
மீண்டும் காதல் செய்யனுமே
The tightness and closeness between us must increase, oh!
As we get closer, our eyes should close, oh!
We must search for the 'me' that was lost,
And fall in love all over again.
காந்த கண்ணுல லவ்வ காட்டுற

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic, contemporary Tamil pop track expresses a playful, modern romantic dynamic between two lovers. The male protagonist gushes over his lover's magnetic charm, expressing his intense infatuation using modern Gen-Z references—like Korean finger hearts, social media stories, and urban Tamil street slang. He envisions a luxurious, joyful future with her adorned in gold and diamonds. Interspersed with his upbeat expressions is a sensual female perspective, capturing the intimate, tender moments shared between the couple in the cool rain. The song seamlessly weaves bouncy party beats with passionate expressions of romance, highlighting how falling in love brings colorful celebration (like Holi) into their everyday lives.
