I viralgal siragukalaai mulaikkuthadi
En kaalgal thariyinilae mithakkuthadi
Machi maatikinu maatikinu maatikinu
Maatikinu maatikinu
Thousands watts bulb-u unna
Fuse-ah kalatti vittuduva
Sokkaakkira ipad unna
Korean setta aakkiduva
Daaraa keezhunju thonga pora
Ava sokka scene ah pottiduva
Nee daaraa keezhunju Thonga pora
Ava sokka scene ah pottiduva
I viralgal siragukalaai mulaikkuthadi
En kaalgal thariyinil mithakkuthadi
En thalaiyinil maraikalum kazhandathadi
Un kanngal urundaiyil suzhaluthadi
Pakkam nirkka konji pesa
Aasai ullae vedikkuthae

My fingers are sprouting like wings, my girl
My feet are floating above the floor, my girl
Dude, he's caught, caught, caught
Caught, caught
She will turn you, a thousand-watt bulb,
Into a blown fuse by unscrewing you
You, an iPad that mesmerizes,
She will turn into a cheap Korean set
You are going to be torn apart and hang loose
She will put up a sweet, stylish show
You are going to be torn apart and hang loose
She will put up a sweet, stylish show
These fingers are sprouting like wings, my girl
My feet are floating on the ground, my girl
The screws in my head have come loose, my girl
Spinning within the orbits of your eyes, my girl
To stand beside you and talk endearingly,
Desire is bursting inside me
To chew and devour you with my eyes,
The teeth of my heart are eager
To intertwine lips without fear,
The nerve of love is stimulating me
To melt and dissolve in love,
My heart is asking for you
To perform magic,
To shower smiles,
To make me a captive,
You alone are the reason for it all
For rules to subside,
For kisses to spring forth,
To render me speechless,
You tie up sadness and walk away, my girl
A useless piece worth five paise,
A torn note, a damaged SIM card
A useless piece worth five paise,
A torn note, a damaged SIM card
She transformed him completely
Throwing hints, dropping lines,
Mapping routes, planning sketches,
Throwing hints, dropping lines,
Pitching a camp inside the heart,
She bagged him effortlessly
Inside my heart, a butterfly
She made it fly
Inside my mind, a flower plant
She planted it
Her phone number into my mobile,
She saved it
In a new intoxication, she
Made me float
Dingachae dol dukku
Dingacha dol dukku
Thinukku jikkan thinukku jikkan
Thinukku jikkan thinukku jikkan
In gentle degrees,
Like a rhythm beating high,
Without understanding head or tail,
The mouth sings out
Drums and traditional beats,
Drums and traditional beats,
Are heard echoing inside
Into tiny splinters,
Every cell in my body breaks
...
My fingers are sprouting like wings, my girl
My feet are floating above the floor, my girl
Tattered and torn,
He hangs like a torn poster
Slanted downwards,
He lies around like a complete fool
She pulled off a grand scene and caused trouble
Cleverly she slipped inside, staying alert
My fingers are sprouting like wings, my girl
My feet are floating on the ground, my girl
The screws in my head have come loose, my girl
Spinning within the orbits of your eyes, my girl
To stand beside you and talk endearingly,
Desire is bursting inside me
To chew and devour you with my eyes,
The teeth of my heart are eager

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song portrays the intoxicating feeling of falling head over heels in love, combined with playful banter from friends mocking the lover's vulnerable state. The protagonist describes feeling weightless and ecstatic, as though his fingers have sprouted wings and his mind has lost its rational screws under his lover's enchanting spell. Concurrently, local friends offer cheeky warnings about how a powerful, sharp guy gets rendered utterly helpless once hit by love's arrow.
