Everybody people there
Put your hands up
Because there is a party going on
Till you pass out… ooh
If the eyelashes bid farewell
and part from the eyes,
won’t the eyes drown in tears?
If you ask your memories
to leave me and return to you,
won’t my heart break?
Something, oh something,
hahaan hahaan,
has weighed heavy on my heart.
Look there, look there,
hahaan hahaan,
it has set my very soul on fire.
Check it out…
No sweetness of any kind
have I found here,
so why this stubbornness still?
Put your hands up
Away from you, all alone,
I have no path of my own,
so why are you angry with me?
Till you pass out
Aha… haha… aa….. hahaha..
Aha… haha… aa….. hahaha..
Yeah.. check it out…
Pack it up, take your share,
Shake it, boy, you always will,
Take it all, the plastic bill…
Sprinkle it all about and you will get real
This is how we do
This is how we do
If you don't like that, then you are a fool
If the eyelashes bid farewell
and part from the eyes,
won’t the eyes drown in tears?
If you ask your memories
to leave me and return to you,
won’t my heart break?
Something, oh something,
hahaan hahaan,
has weighed heavy on my heart.
Look there, look there,

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The remix version of 'Kannai Vittu' from the 2006 movie Pattiyal seamlessly fuses soulful Tamil lyrics of romantic heartache with energetic, upbeat 2000s club beats and rap interstitials. The core Tamil verses express the profound pain of separation and longing, comparing the parting of a lover's memory to eyelids separating from the eyes—a split that inevitably brings tears and a shattered heart. Surrounding these poignant verses are vibrant English rap hooks and dance calls that convert a sad melody into an energetic party anthem, showcasing Yuvan Shankar Raja's signature style of blending high-energy urban dance beats with deep emotional Tamil poetry.
