அவ மஞ்ச கலரு குருவி
என் மனச போட்டா உருவி
மாஞ்சா போட்ட நூலு
இப்போ அறுந்து போச்சுடா
She is a yellow-colored bird,
Who snatched my heart away.
The glass-coated kite thread
Has now snapped, man!
அவ குற்றாலத்து அருவி
நான் தம்மா தூண்டு கருவி
பட்டாம்பூச்சி பாதியிலே
பறந்து போச்சுடா
She is like the Courtallam waterfall,
While I am just a tiny little tool.
The butterfly, midway through its journey,
Has flown away, man!
இந்த பொண்ணுங்கல்லாமே
ரொம்ப மோசம்
குழு :
ஹா ஹா
அவ பேசும் பேச்செல்லாம்
வெளி வேசம்
குழு :
ஹா ஹா
இந்த காதல் எல்லாமே
சில மாசம்
குழு :
ஹா ஹா
என்னை கொல நாசம் செஞ்சி புட்டா
டா டா டா
All these girls
Are very bad.
Chorus: Ha haa
Male: All the talk she speaks
Is just a fake mask.
Chorus: Ha haa
Male: All of this love
Lasts only a few months.
Chorus: Ha haa
Male: She has utterly ruined and destroyed me,
Da da da.

[Instrumental Break]
ஆசை பட்டு கேட்டா அவ
ஆவினு மில்க்கு
அவ வீட்டு பக்கம் போயி
நான் வாங்குனேன் பல்பு
அழக பாத்து விழுந்தேன்
அவ அல்வா பேச்சுல
ஆண்டி ஆக்கி நிக்க வச்சா
மெரீனா பீச்சுல
With longing, she asked for
Aavin brand milk,
I went near her house
And got fooled completely (got a bulb).
I fell in love looking at her beauty
And her sweet, deceptive talk.
She made me stand like a penniless beggar
At Marina Beach.
என்னை சுத்த வுட்டா
ஒரு கடிகாரமா
நான் கண்ணீர் விட்டேன்
கண் விழியோரமா
அட இதுக்கு மேல
இனி எவளும் வேணா
வேணா வேணா என் கவல தீர
பாடுறேன் கானா
She made me run around in circles
Like the hands of a clock.
I shed tears
From the corner of my eyes.
Oh, beyond this point,
I don't want any girl anymore.
No, no! To soothe my sorrow,
I am singing this Gaana song.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song is a humorous, upbeat Gaana track expressing heartbreak and frustration after a romantic betrayal. The protagonist laments how he fell for a girl's beauty and sweet talk, only to end up financially broke and emotionally distraught. He compares his heartbreak to a snapped kite string and himself to a clock spinning helplessly in circles. Throughout the track, he warns others that modern love is fleeting and superficial, lasting only a few months. In typical Gaana fashion, he copes with his emotional pain by venting his grievances through music, deciding never to pursue love again.
