knock him out cold!
If we fail in the March exams,
we can try again in September, yeah!

we can become a Devadas (tragic lover)!

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This energetic song from 'Veetla Visheshanga' (1994) captures the playful, upbeat ethos of college life and youth culture in Chennai. Set around bus travel (referencing Chennai's PTC bus service and Queen Mary's College), the lyrics describe lighthearted banter, romantic teasing, western pop trends, and carefree student attitudes toward exams and love heartbreaks.

Trivia
Although the music composer was not initially credited in basic text metadata, the soundtrack of 'Veetla Visheshanga' was composed by Ilaiyaraaja. The song humorously meta-references Ilaiyaraaja directly in line 70 ('Ilaiyaraajaava kekkalaamaa') along with popular culture figures like Michael Jackson.
