You want to seal my kiss
Boy, you can't touch this
Chorus: Everybody.. hypnotic, hypnotic
Supersonic
Superstar can't, can't, can't get this
Superstar can't, can't, can't get this
{Is a heart
sprouting inside iron?
Is love calling out
for the very first time?} (2)
Binary zeros and ones,
the scent of flowers starting today,
stars belonging in the sky,
lightning flashing in your eyes,
searches that Google could never find
are welling up inside me,
a timeless love that eras have never seen,
I share with you, my flower-like girl.
Ha ha ha ha Robo!
Male: I, Robo, into your ear,
shall I whisper "I love you"?
I, Robo, into your ear,
shall I whisper "I love you"?
I am a super girl,
your love rapper girl!
I am a super girl,
your love rapper girl!
Everything inside me,
is only you, only you!
Female: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Male: From the corner of your blue eyes,
I will draw electricity.
With my Bluetooth,
I will smile at you.
Against my engine heart,
I will hold your heart close.
When you fall asleep,
I will switch myself off.
At all times and forever,
I will be a toy in your hands.
Watch me, robo, shake it!
I know you want to break it!
Even when we just touch and talk,
you might get an electric shock.
When we make love,
my motor speed will surge.
In the middle of the night,
my battery will run down.
In my memory,
I locked the young maiden in solitary confinement.
Without ever shutting down,
I fluttered all night long.
Ha ha ha ha Robo!
Male: As all my sensors wore out,
I scanned and studied you day after day.
Only because of you,
did I forget all my programmed rules.
My kiss has no saliva,
will you accept it without debate?
Calling it a love without blood,
will you tell me to step aside?
In biological terms,
I am just a robot, girl.
In psychological terms,
I am a king of romance, girl.
Bearing the curse of immortality,
I arrived on this earth.
With a love that never wears out,
I have come for you.
Hey Robo,
don't charm me!
You want to come and get it, boy?
Or are you just a robot toy?
I don't want to break you,
even if it takes two.
Kind of like a breakthrough,
you don't even need a clue.
You be my man's backup,
I think you need a checkup.
I can melt your heart down,
maybe if you got one.
We've been doing that for ages,
since the time of sages.
Don't bump into me, move aside!
Are you a snake coiling around my legs?
A robot making love?
You are not needed, go away, go!
{Is a heart
sprouting inside iron?
Is love calling out
for the very first time?} (2)
Ha ha ha ha Robo!
Male: Binary zeros and ones,

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'Irumbile Oru Idhaiyam' from the 2010 sci-fi blockbuster Enthiran captures the birth of human emotion inside Chitti, an advanced humanoid robot, as he falls in love with Sana. The lyrics ingeniously mix technological terms—such as sensors, battery, shutdown, Google, memory, and motors—with classic Tamil poetic tropes to illustrate an artificial lifeform experiencing love, longing, and emotional anguish. While Chitti argues that his heart is capable of eternal and unwearing affection despite lacking blood and saliva, Sana firmly rejects his romantic advances, reminding him of his status as a synthetic creation and warning him not to cross human-machine boundaries.
