We will tease!
We will tease, oh we will tease!
If it goes beyond two pegs, we will tease!
We will tease, we will tease!
Whoever it is, what do we care?
So what if law and order comes after us?
What is this, man? Life is so crazy!
Should we really stress over this?
We will tease, oh we will tease!
We will tease, oh we will tease!
We will tease!
So, shall we start teasing?
Tease away, dude!
Coming to party,
grabbing your lover's feet,
saying "just one beer",
and pleading again and again—
we will tease, we will tease!
Asking for a soft drink,
mixing brandy in it,
and like a baby drinking milk,
taking tiny little sips—
we will tease, we will tease!
Even without drinking any peg,
we will tease, we will tease!
We will tease!
Recharging for
just ten rupees,
and giving missed calls
for the entire month—
we will tease, buddy, we will tease!
With laptop in hand,
staying awake all night,
and posting random nonsense
news on Facebook—those guys,
we will tease, we will tease!
Even without drinking a peg, we will tease!
We will tease, we will tease!
How long, man,
will you keep saying this same thing?
Start the music!
An aunty dressed up
in short clothes,
trying to hit on
younger boys—
we will tease, we will tease!
Hi, Shakeela!
Wearing low-waist pants,
bending down often,
and showing off their backside—those guys,
we will tease, we will tease!
Showing off fake English
to a local guy,
making him follow behind,
and enjoying the attention—that girl,
we will tease, we will tease!
Mistaking an ordinary girl for Aishwarya Rai,
and melting away your dad's money like ice cream—
we will tease, we will tease!
Even without drinking any peg,
we will tease, we will tease!
We will tease, hey we will tease!
We will tease, we will tease!
Male: Even without drinking any peg,
we will tease, we will tease!
We will tease!
Hey, goodness gracious!
Whoever it is, what do we care?
So what if law and order comes after us?
What is this, man? Life is so crazy!
Should we really stress over this?
We will tease, girl, we will tease!
Dude, we will tease!
Female: We will tease!
K-k-k-k, we will tease!
We will tease!
K-k, we will tease!
K-k, we will tease!
We will tease! Hey, get lost!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Kalaaipom' is a fun, lighthearted party track centered around the casual Tamil street-slang culture of 'kalaaikoduthal' (mocking, teasing, or pulling someone's leg). The singers humorously list various everyday societal tropes and stereotypical behaviors—such as people begging for a single beer, pretending to drink soft drinks mixed with alcohol, spending dad's money on dates, posting nonsense on Facebook, or flexing with low-waist pants and fake English. Across all these situations, the youth carefree attitude shines through: regardless of who it is or what the consequences are, they will playfully roast everyone without taking life too seriously.
