Bonjour bonjour avalanche
Garcu mariya danse-a
The dance in the beat prabhudeva
The beat in music is DSP
The girl in the groọve nayanthara
And to rock the floor ilayathalapathy
Sa ri ga ma pa dha ni sa
Ada come on come on say jalsa
Jalsa..jalsa..
Jalsa jalsa jalsa
Kangalae aadum salsa
Dhadaal ena idhayam veliyae eghiri kudhikudhu rouwsa
Naam paadum paatula vaanam kizhiyum
Come on come on sing with me
Naam aadum aatam bhoomiyum aadum
You’ve gotta believe me
Sa ri ga ma pa dha ni sa
Ada come on come on say jalsa
Jalsa..jalsa..
Pala pengalai paarthen
Andha kangalai paarthen
Idhuvarai ennai ennai jeyichadhu yaarum illai
Un paarvayinaal ennai patri kolla seidhaai
Micham enna micham enna iruku
Un siripinai sidari nee vanmurai seidhai
Konjam ennum vittuvidu enakku…
Sa ri ga ma pa dha ni sa
Ada come on come on say jalsa
Jalsa..jalsa..
{Swing swing pada pada lady
Sugary baby
Kiss and charisma lady
Let’s have fun in the sun
Hotter you bun
Let yọur ecstasy run} (2)
Nee pirandhadhu greece-ah
Nee valarndhadhu swiss-ah
Madhi mayakkum
Un nadayin mugavari thaan paris-ah
Mun azhagu class-ah
Pin azhagu mass-ah
No no no nee enna rendum kalandha mix-ah
Ada nice ah pesura vaarthai veesura
Thottu thottu ennai kattikodaa
Un kurumbayum varambaiyum enakena enakena
Mothamaaga kuthagaiku thaadaaaa
Sa ri ga ma pa dha ni sa
Ada come on come on say jalsa
Jalsa..jalsa..
Bonjour, bonjour, avalanche!
Corazon, Maria, dance!
The dance in the beat is Prabhu Deva,
The beat in the music is DSP,
The girl in the groove is Nayanthara,
And to rock the floor, Ilayathalapathy!
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa
Hey, come on, come on, say jalsa (let's party)!
Jalsa... jalsa...
Jalsa, jalsa, jalsa!
Even the eyes dance the salsa,
With a thud, the heart leaps right out and jumps with swag!
The song we sing will rip the sky open,
Come on, come on, sing with me!
To the dance we dance, the earth too will dance,
You've gotta believe me!
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa
Hey, come on, come on, say jalsa (let's party)!
Jalsa... jalsa...
I have seen many girls,
I have looked into their eyes,
Until now, no one has ever won me over.
With your gaze, you set me on fire,
What is left of me now, what is left?
Scattering your smile, you wrecked me with love,
Leave at least a little bit of me for myself...
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa
Hey, come on, come on, say jalsa (let's party)!
Jalsa... jalsa...
Swing, swing, fluttering lady,
Sugary baby,
Kiss and charisma lady,
Let's have fun in the sun,
Hotter you burn,
Let your ecstasy run!
Were you born in Greece?
Did you grow up in Switzerland?
Bewitching the mind,
Is Paris the address of your walk?
Your front is pure class,
Your back is full of mass appeal,
No, no, no, are you a mix of both?
Hey, you speak so nicely, tossing flirty words,
Touch me gently and hold me tight, my boy!
All your mischief and your boundaries, just for me,
Lease it all completely to me!
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa
Hey, come on, come on, say jalsa (let's party)!
Jalsa... jalsa...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Jalsa Jalsa from Villu (2009) is an exuberant, high-energy party song celebrating life, dance, and youthful romance. The song begins by shouting out the primary talents behind the film and track—director Prabhudeva, composer Devi Sri Prasad (DSP), lead actress Nayanthara, and lead actor Vijay ('Ilayathalapathy')—setting an energetic, celebratory tone from the start.\n\nThroughout the song, the protagonist playfully woos his partner, praising her beauty, grace, and irresistible charm that has effortlessly captured his heart. With hyperbolic imagery of tearing the sky and shaking the earth through dance, the lyrics emphasize pure celebration ('Jalsa') and joyful wild abandon.

Poetic devices

Meta-referential Shoutouts

“The dance in the beat prabhudeva / The beat in music is DSP / The girl in the groọve nayanthara / And to rock the floor ilayathalapathy”

The introductory lines break the fourth wall by directly naming the real-life director, composer, and lead actors of the film inside the lyric.

Hyperbole (Uyervunavchi Aani)

“Naam paadum paatula vaanam kizhiyum / Naam aadum aatam bhoomiyum aadum”

Exaggerated imagery claiming that their singing will tear the sky and their dancing will make the earth move.

Iyaibu (Rhyme Scheme)

“Nee pirandhadhu greece-ah / Nee valarndhadhu swiss-ah / Un nadayin mugavari thaan paris-ah”

End-rhyming words ending with the '-ah' sound creating a rhythmic, catchphrase-like effect.

Anaphora / Adukku Thodar (Repetition)

“Jalsa jalsa jalsa”

Repetition of words for emphasis and auditory rhythm.

Trivia
