He will hug a modern girl,
but marry a traditional girl.
Above his belt,
he shows off a six-pack.
Chorus: Oh yeah!
But below his belt,
is where he keeps his brain!
Chorus: He does, he does, he does!
The whole pack of guys
is just a troop of monkeys!
Oh ho, oh ho ho!
In their entire heads,
there is only sex!
Aa aa aa aa aa aa aaha...
Ha yea yea
Ha yea yea...
Make some noise!
Hoo hoo hoo... hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo...
Whatever we boys say,
we say it directly.
But whatever girls say,
it just makes your head explode!
If you girls say "Yes",
it means "No".
If you say "Let's see",
it means "Not a chance".
If you say "We need to talk",
it means "Trouble".
If you say "Sorry",
it means "You're dead, buddy!"
When you touch us and talk,
you call it friendship.
If we do the very same thing,
you call it lust!
You pick fights yourselves,
say whatever you want,
and blame it all on us—get lost, girls!
Even if none of you are around,
we have our drinks.
Go find a world without boys and get lost!
...
Our roads are full of bumps and potholes,
why roam around in high heels, girl?
Chorus: Haan haan haan haan
Haan haan haan haan haa
Just to climb up to your height
and give you a kiss—get lost, boy!
Chorus: Haan haan haan haan
Haan haan haan haan haa
When speeding on your scooter,
why wear a bandit's scarf around your face?
Female: Only as long as it's hidden,
does beauty hold its charm.
Chorus: Haan haan haan haan
Haan haan haan haan haa
Male: Only until it is uncovered,
does the fear last!
Ha ha ha ha...
Male: Hey Tamil girl!
Female: Hey Tamil boy!
Male: Where is your sari?
Female: Where is your veshti (traditional wrap)?
Male: Love? Female: Failure!
Male: Lust? Female: Fun!
Male: Beauty? Female: To tempt!
Male: Heart? Female: To break!
All boys are like Windows,
easily attacked by viruses.
Girls are like a Mac,
top-tier in performance!
Ha... aa... aa... aa...
Hey hey hey hey
She will look like a modern girl,
but act like a traditional girl!
She will spread a net with both her eyes,
Chorus: Oh yeah!
Male: and once you fall into her trap,
she will just say "Sorry!"
The whole pack of guys
is just a troop of monkeys!
Oh ho, oh ho ho!
In their entire heads,
there is only sex!
Aa aa aa aa aa aa aaha...
Haan ha hum, haan ha hum
Oh hey hey
Haan ha hum, haan ha hum
Oh hey hey

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This track from Kanithan is a energetic, lighthearted gender-war duet where young men and women humorously trade jabs about each other's dating habits, attire, and communication styles. The boys complain that girls are overly cryptic and double-standardized, while the girls mock men's superficial desires and basic thinking.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Extended Metaphor (tech analogy)
“Boys ellam windowsu / Virus thakkum / Ponnunga mac pola / Performance thookkum”
Compares boys to virus-prone Windows OS and girls to high-performing Mac OS to highlight gender differences in modern terms.
Antithesis / Parallelism (எதிரிணை)
“Male :Idhayam Female :Udaikka”
Juxtaposes male romantic concepts directly against female cynical retorts in rapid succession.
Simile / Zoomorphism
“Pasanga kottamae Korangu kottam than”
Compares a group of young men to a troop of monkeys driven purely by instinct.
