சோஜவா சுத்துனவன்
இப்ப ராஜா ரேஞ்சுக்கு ஆக்கிவுட்டா
ஸ்லொவ் மோடில் சிக்கிருந்தேன்
என்ன ஸ்பீடு மோடுக்கு மாத்திவுட்டா
The one who was wandering around aimlessly
Has now been elevated to the status of a king
I was stuck in slow mode
She switched me into speed mode
ஹே முத்திரை குத்துன
முத்துன மனசுல
பொத்துன்னு நுழைஞ்சாலே
சக்கரை தூவுன
சில்லறை சிரிப்புல
சிக்குன எறும்பான
Hey, she left her mark
In this matured heart
She suddenly entered soft and deep
Like sugar sprinkled
In her lighthearted giggle
I became an ant trapped in it
குலுக்கு குலுக்கு
குலுக்கு குலுக்கு
குலுக்கு குலுக்கு
நல்லா குலுக்கு
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it
Shake it real good
ஹே எனக்கு எனக்கு
எனக்கு எனக்கு
லக்கு நல்லா கொட்டி கெடக்கு
Hey, for me, for me
For me, for me
Good luck is overflowing for me
ஹே குலுக்கு குலுக்கு
குலுக்கு குலுக்கு குலுக்கு
நல்லா வாங்கி குலுக்கு
இப்ப கலக்கு கலக்கு
கலக்கு கலக்கு
கட்டம் கல கட்டுதெனக்கு
Hey, shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, shake it
Get it and shake it well
Now rock it, rock it
Rock it, rock it
My time is glowing bright
சோஜவா சுத்துனவன்
இப்ப ராஜா ரேஞ்சுக்கு ஆக்கிவுட்டா
ஸ்லொவ் மோடில் சிக்கிருந்தேன்
என்ன ஸ்பீடு மோடுக்கு மாத்திவுட்டா
The one who was wandering around aimlessly
Has now been elevated to the status of a king
I was stuck in slow mode
She switched me into speed mode
ஹே தனியாக தனித்தீவில்
தவிச்சேனே
தழுவ தேடி வந்த தங்கமே
வரண்டேதான் இருந்தாச்சே பலநாளா
மழைய கொண்டு வந்த மேகமே
Hey, I suffered alone on an isolated island
You pure gold came searching to embrace me
It was a dry drought for many days
O cloud that brought the rain
ஒண்டியாக சுத்தி வந்தேன்
டவுன் பஸ்ஸுகுள்ள
வந்து கூட்டத்தோட
ஏறிட்டாட உள்ள
I was roaming around all alone
Inside a town bus
Coming along with the crowd
She climbed right inside
சிங்கிள் பூவா சோலோவாக
வளந்த ஒரு ஆள
இப்ப சேத்து வச்சி
கட்டுறாங்க மாலை
Like a single, solitary flower
A person who grew up solo
Now bringing us together
They are weaving a wedding garland
நொறுங்கி போனா
நல்ல முறுக்கு
மிக்ஸரில் போட்டு
நல்லா உலுக்கு
முறுக்குக்கும் லக் இருக்கு
Even if it gets crushed
It is a tasty crispy snack
Put it into the snack mixture
Give it a good shake
Male: Even a crushed snack has its own good luck!
குலுக்கு குலுக்கு
குலுக்கு குலுக்கு
குலுக்கு குலுக்கு
நல்லா குலுக்கு
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it
Shake it real good
ஹே எனக்கு எனக்கு
எனக்கு எனக்கு
லக்கு நல்லா கொட்டி கெடக்கு
Hey, for me, for me
For me, for me
Good luck is overflowing for me
ஹே குலுக்கு குலுக்கு
குலுக்கு குலுக்கு
நல்லா வாங்கி குலுக்கு
இப்ப கலக்கு கலக்கு
கலக்கு கலக்கு
கட்டம் கல கட்டுதெனக்கு
Hey, shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, shake it
Get it and shake it well
Now rock it, rock it
Rock it, rock it
My time is glowing bright
ஹே சோஜவா சுத்துனவன்
இப்ப ராஜா ரேஞ்சுக்கு ஆக்கிவுட்டா
ஸ்லொவ் மோடில் சிக்கிருந்தேன்
என்ன ஸ்பீடு மோடுக்கு மாத்திவுட்டா
The one who was wandering around aimlessly
Has now been elevated to the status of a king
I was stuck in slow mode
She switched me into speed mode
வளந்த கொழந்தையே எனக்கென ஆனவன்
வளைச்சு கொடுத்தானே
வெகுளி மனசையும் வெள்ளந்தி சிரிப்பையும்
பாத்து அசந்தேனே
The grown child who became mine
Bent his heart completely for me
Seeing his innocent heart and guileless smile
I was completely awestruck
குலுக்கு குலுக்கு
குலுக்கு குலுக்கு
குலுக்கு குலுக்கு
நல்லா குலுக்கு
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it
Shake it real good

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic folk-pop track celebrates a complete transformation of fortune brought by love and marriage. The protagonist describes how he transitioned from a lonely, aimless life stuck in 'slow mode' to a royalty-like status filled with joy, energy, and unexpected luck after finding his life partner. The lyrics use playful metaphors comparing love to sudden rain breaking a long drought and crushed snacks finding purpose in a mixture to illustrate how even ordinary or broken lives become vibrant and lucky through union.
