Love me, love me
Love me, love me
...
Love me, love me, love me
Your mommy is my aunt (mother-in-law)
Oh girl, because of you I lost my sleep
Look, I have written "Love me"
Now kiss me if you feel like it
Why is a crowd gathering behind you?
I am the Romeo here, aren't I?
And you are my Juliet, aren't you?
Love me, love me, love me
Your mommy is my aunt (mother-in-law)
Oh girl, because of you I lost my sleep
Look, I have written "Love me"
Now kiss me if you feel like it
Why is a crowd gathering behind you?
Ooh... ooh...
Tossing your books aside,
did you lose your senses
when you blossomed into womanhood?
Chorus: Ba-bap-sa
I am going to teach you
the games of young love,
so come and nod along!
Chorus: Ba-bap-pa
Girl, aren't you
a flower-decked palanquin?
Without you, why do we even need a college?
For the whole syllabus,
just your name is enough!
As gentle as your words,
grammar itself ought to be!
Love me, love me, love me
Your mommy is my aunt (mother-in-law)
Oh girl, because of you I lost my sleep
Look, I have written "Love me"
Now kiss me if you feel like it
Why is a crowd gathering behind you?
Ha ha...
Whether you say "mutham" (Tamil word for kiss)
or whether you say "kiss",
it is just four letters, come on!
Chorus: Come, come, come!
Whatever language it may be,
what does it matter to me, girl?
The feeling is the same, come on!
Chorus: Come, come, come!
My playful teasing
might stir up anger,
yet your face will blush red
just like with shyness!
My playful teasing
might stir up anger,
yet your face will blush red
just like with shyness!
A body shaped like a sculpture,
glowing like reddish gold!
To describe you as a beauty,
even grammar feels proud!
Love me, love me, love me
Your mommy is my aunt (mother-in-law)
Oh girl, because of you I lost my sleep
Look, I have written "Love me"
Now kiss me if you feel like it
Why is a crowd gathering behind you?
I am the Romeo here, aren't I?
And you are my Juliet, aren't you?
I am the Romeo here, aren't I?
And you are my Juliet, aren't you?
Love me, love me, love me
Your mommy is my aunt (mother-in-law)
Oh girl, because of you I lost my sleep
Look, I have written "Love me"
Now kiss me if you feel like it
Why is a crowd gathering behind you?
Love me, love me, love me
Your mommy is my aunt (mother-in-law)
Oh girl, because of you I lost my sleep
Look, I have written "Love me"
Now kiss me if you feel like it
Why is a crowd gathering behind you?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

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.
