கையில புடிச்சும் சிக்கல
No luck, dude, no luck
I don't have what it takes to win in love
She didn't get caught, dude, she didn't get caught
Even when held in hand, she didn't get caught
கிக்குல மாமே கிக்குல
கொஞ்சம் கெத்தா சுத்திட்டேன் கிக்குல
தப்பில்ல மாமே தப்பில்ல
அவ காலில விழுந்தா தப்பில்ல
In a buzz, dude, in a buzz
I walked around with swagger in a buzz
No mistake, dude, no mistake
There is no mistake in falling at her feet
மப்புல மாமே மப்புல
ரொம்ப நம்பிட்டேன் காதல் மப்புல
பித்தள மாமே பித்தள
அவ தங்கம்னு நெனச்சேன் பித்தள
In a drunken haze, dude, in a drunken haze
I trusted too much in the haze of love
Brass, dude, brass
I thought she was gold, but she turned out to be brass
ஏ சந்தோசமா இரு டி

ஹெட்வெயிட்ட நீ கொற டி
அந்த ஈகோவ நீ மற டி
Hey girl, be happy
Be very happy, girl
Reduce your headweight, girl
Hide that ego, girl
ஏ டாவடிக்கும் போது ஒரே டைட்டானிக்கு தான்
ராவா போட்டு மாமா இப்போ டைட்டா நிக்குறேன்
When courting, it felt just like Titanic
Taking a raw drink, dude, I now stand drunk and tight
பாவா கூட வா மா நீயும் க்யூட்டா பேசலாம்
காணாம் போன காதல் ஒண்ணு
என் முன் வந்து உன்னை சேர ஆசை கூறுதே
Come with your sweetheart, dear, let us talk cutely
A love that went missing
Appears before me and expresses a desire to unite with you
லக் இல்ல லக் இல்ல லக் இல்ல
No luck, no luck, no luck
சிரிச்சி சிரிச்சி நீயும் டிமிக்கிய குடுத்த
தொரத்தி தொரத்தி ரொம்ப தவியா தவிச்சேன்
Smiling and smiling, you dodged and tricked me
Chasing and chasing, I suffered immensely
அலஞ்சி அலஞ்சி நானும் வெயிட்ட கொறச்சேன்
வழிஞ்சி வழிஞ்சி உன் வழிய மறச்சேன்
Wandering around, I ended up losing weight
Fawning over you, I kept blocking your way
மனசு விருஞ்சி
உன்ன இமையில் நிறுத்தி
பல வருஷம் கழிஞ்சி
எனக்குள்ள ஒரு மகிழ்ச்சி
Heart broken and yearning
Placing you within my eyelashes
After many years passed
A sense of happiness arose within me
உன்னில் தொலஞ்சி தொலஞ்சி
எந்தன் இதயம் நெறஞ்சி
ஒரு கனவ வரஞ்சி
உன் கிட்ட வந்தா
Getting lost over and over in you
My heart overflowed with feelings
Drawing a dream
When I approached you
லக் இல்ல மாமே லக் இல்ல
லவ்வுல ஜெயிக்க தான் வக்கில
சிக்கல மாமே சிக்கல
கையில புடிச்சும் சிக்கல
No luck, dude, no luck

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Luck Illa' is a lighthearted yet poignant Tamil independent track about one-sided love and heartbreak. The protagonist laments his misfortune in romance, using casual slang and colloquialisms to talk to his buddy ('maamey'). He describes how he fell head over heels for a girl, believing her to be genuine ('gold'), only to realize she was unapproachable or deceitful ('brass'). Despite his persistent efforts—chasing her, losing weight from wandering, and admiring her from afar—he ends up unrequited and turns to alcohol to cope with his pain. Throughout the track, the song balances feelings of rejection and sorrow with a catchy, rhythmic vibe. He advises his love interest to let go of her ego and headweight while acknowledging his own foolish optimism during the courtship stage, comparing their initial dynamic to the romance in Titanic.
