என் கேலி
கோபங்கள் உண்டாக்கும்
முகம் ஆனாலும்
வெட்கம் போல் சிவக்கும்
My playful teasing causes anger
Creating a reaction
Even if your face turns angry
It blushes red like shyness

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful, high-energy college romance song captures the exuberance of youth, flirtation, and student life. The protagonist expresses his affection for his love interest through lighthearted urban slang, Western pop references, and cheeky wordplay. He playfully frames her as his Juliet and her mother as his future mother-in-law, dismissing modern academic studies in favor of learning the language of love.
