LOCALITY BOYS
The boys who live in the city,
they call them city boys.
The boys who are local,
they call them local boys.
But inside the city itself,
the boys who are truly local,
what do they call them?
What do they call them?
What do they call them?
Locality boys...
Locality boys...
Hey, Audi car lady,
come dance with me!
Hey, Audi car lady,
come dance with me!
When you come and stand beside me,
why is a fire catching inside me?
Like a touchscreen phone,
don't just tap and walk away...
If you give me just one kiss,
this lifetime will never be enough!
Locality boys...
Locality, locality...
Loca... loca...
Locality boys... locality boys...
Locality boys... locality boys...
Locality boys, boys... locality boys...
Locality boys, boys... locality boys...
Hit the beat, hit it!
Hit the beat, hit it!
Female: After taking a gulp,
does a chill rise in you?
Is your pulse racing fast?
Does your tingling tongue
send a rush of heat?
Are your nerves fluttering and twitching?
Right in the middle of the throat,
the uvula gets stuck.
If you gulp down brandy,
vomiting is guaranteed!
You show-stopping beauty,
you little sister of Trisha,
hey playful, funky lady, come here,
you are my only pair!
Locality boys... locality boys...
Locality boys... locality boys...
Locality boys, boys... locality boys...
Locality boys, boys... locality boys...
Bend low and hit the wild kuthu beat!
Female: Here it comes, take this!
Locality boys!
We pull off slick tricks,
we rock at building up hype,
we could win an Oscar for spinning stories!
Like a slippery fish
that slides away while being washed,
we dodge smartly when trouble strikes!
A glass-coated kite string
can tear your face up, buddy!
Being overconfident
will ruin your health, buddy!
Even if you think you are top-notch,
your plans will collapse into a mess!
Hey, for every little thing,
don't put on fake shows, man!
Hey, Audi car lady,
come dance with me!
Hey, Audi car lady,
come dance with me!
When you come and stand beside me,
why is a fire catching inside me?
Like a touchscreen phone,
don't just tap and walk away...
If you give me just one kiss,
this lifetime will never be enough!
Locality boys...
Locality, locality...
Loca... loca...
Locality boys... locality boys...
Locality boys... locality boys...
Locality boys, boys... locality boys...
Locality boys, boys... locality boys...
Locality boys!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'Locality Boys' from the movie 'Kadavul Irukaan Kumaru' is a high-energy Tamil folk-pop ('Kuthu') track celebrating urban youth who embody a local street-smart attitude despite residing in modern cities. The song humorously contrasts wealthy high-class lifestyle elements (like driving an Audi car or using a touch-screen phone) with gritty, carefree local street slang and attitude. The lyrics playfully banter between male and female perspectives, mocking superficial status symbols while celebrating local pride, street wisdom, and vibrant dance culture.
