La la la la, we've finished Law!
La la la la, let's study Love!
Let's support the party
that nurtures love!
We are at the age to earn a degree,
yet our heart only wants to fly kites!
Let's go live in a bird's nest for a few days!
Hey, now that college is over,
a quarter of our life is over!
If we don't sing songs in our youth,
at what age are we going to live?
Ah, the exams are over,
now the heart seeks an engagement!
Whoever I see without a license,
it feels like she is my lover!
La la la la, we've finished Law!
La la la la, let's study Love!
Let's support the party
that nurtures love!
...
Oh oh oh oh...
So what if there are only four directions?
There are forty thousand paths to take!
So what if there are only five senses?
There are a thousand joys to taste!
For the one whose mind has wings,
both the sky and earth are wide open!
For the one with brains in their head,
there is a home even on the moon!
Whatever lies hidden
deep inside the earth,
satellites will search and find.
Whatever charm lies hidden
deep inside a woman,
our eyes will search and find!
The moment you see a salwar,
have no hesitation,
just give her a salute!
If you see even a drop of honey
and love in her eyes,
fall right at her feet!
La la la la, we've finished Law!
La la la la, let's study Love!
Let's support the party
that nurtures love!
...
Without a few small flaws
and little mistakes,
a human life is never complete.
Without mixing copper into pure gold,
a wondrous jewel cannot be made.
Small boundary-crossings
always happen in youth,
it is not like they are a murder crime!
If not for the act of forgiving,
there would be no God!
Gazing at a few flowers,
enjoying a bit of colour,
what sin is there in living like that?
Untouched by a golden beetle,
uncrossed by the gentle breeze,
what is the gain for a flower?
Hanging the rainbow like a festive garland,
the world stands smiling at our doorstep!
Saying, 'O capable one, go win from today!'
life is calling out to us...
La la la la, we've finished Law!
La la la la, let's study Love!
Let's support the party
that nurtures love!
...
We are at the age to earn a degree,
yet our heart only wants to fly kites!
Let's go live in a bird's nest for a few days!
Hey, now that college is over,
a quarter of our life is over!
If we don't sing songs in our youth,
at what age are we going to live?
Ah, the exams are over,
now the heart seeks an engagement!
Whoever I see without a license,
it feels like she is my lover!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

La La Law Mudichom from the film Thamizhan (2002) is a youthful, high-energy college farewell and celebration anthem sung by newly graduated law students. The song captures the exhilarating transition from academic discipline to full adulthood, contrasting legal rigor with youthful romance, freedom, and lighthearted optimism. It expresses the desire of young graduates to pause and enjoy the beauty of youth before stepping into life's formal responsibilities. Through Vairamuthu's characteristic philosophical lyricism, the song touches upon human imperfection, arguing that small mistakes in youth are natural, much like copper added to gold to forge jewelry. It encourages young people to face life's vast opportunities with confidence, celebrate love, and embrace forgiveness, framing life as an inviting journey ready to be conquered.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Polysemy / Wordplay (Siledai)

“Pattam vaangum vayasu namakku / Pattam vidathaan manasu irukku”

The word 'Pattam' is used in two different senses in consecutive lines: 'degree' (Pattam vaangum vayasu) and 'kite' (Pattam vidathaan manasu), highlighting the duality between adult achievement and youthful desire.

Rhyme & Alliteration (Edhugai and Monai)

“La la la la law mudichom / Lala la la la love padippom”

Playful phonetic pairing between English legal and emotional terms 'Law mudichom' and 'Love padippom', creating a catchy rhythm.

Analogy / Metaphor

“Sokka thangam athilae / Sembu seraamal adhisayam mudiyaathu”

Compares human flaws to copper mixed with pure gold, suggesting that imperfections are necessary to make life complete and functional, just as gold needs alloy to form ornaments.

Personification

“Ulagam vaanavillai thoranam aakki / Vaasalil sirikkirathae”

Life and the world are personified as welcoming hosts decorating the doorway with a rainbow and calling out to the youth to conquer.
