Hui hui hui hui hui hui hui Huihaa hui haa hui haa hui haa hui haa
Style is style indeed, the style in which I smoke a cigarette; Style is style indeed, the style in which I drink rum.
Seeing the style in which I smoke a cigarette, Dhanalakshmi desired me; seeing the style in which I drink rum, Rakkamma desired me; seeing the style in which I wink my eyes, young Kavitha desired me; seeing the style in which I laugh and talk, Chinnaponnu desired me.
Strike it! I did not love anyone, I did not like anyone; I did not love anyone, I did not like anyone.
The way I smoke... seeing the way I smoke a cigarette, Dhanalakshmi desired me; seeing the way I drink rum, Rakkamma desired me.
Seeing the style in which I tie my dhoti, Vellaiyamma desired me; seeing the style in which I wear a vest, Pachaiyamma desired me; Chalukkuthan chalakkuthaan, chal chal chal chalakkuthaan!
Seeing the style in which I wear a shirt, young Sarasu desired me; seeing the style in which I wear a watch, Valliyamma desired me; Chalukkuthan chalakkuthaan, chal chal chal chalakkuthaan!
Seeing the style in which I wear jeans, young Julie desired me; seeing the style in which I wear boots, Pushpalatha desired me.
I did not love anyone, I did not like anyone; I did not love anyone, I did not like anyone.
The way I smoke... seeing the way I smoke a cigarette, Dhanalakshmi desired me; seeing the way I drink rum, Rakkamma desired me.
...........................
Seeing the style in which I work, Vedhavalli desired me; seeing the style of my sprouting mustache, Amasavalli desired me; Chalukkuthan chalakkuthaan, chal chal chal chalakkuthaan!
Seeing the style in which I sing songs, Panjavarnam desired me; seeing the style in which I dance, Alamelu desired me; Chalukkuthan chalakkuthaan, chal chal chal chalakkuthaan!
So many young maidens came surrounding me; writing love letter after love letter, all the women handed them over to me.
Strike it! I did not love anyone, I did not like anyone; I did not love anyone, I did not like anyone.
The way I smoke... seeing the way I smoke a cigarette, Dhanalakshmi desired me; seeing the style in which I drink rum, Rakkamma desired me; seeing the style in which I wink my eyes, young Kavitha desired me; seeing the style in which I laugh and talk, Chinnaponnu desired me.
Strike it! I did not love anyone, I did not like anyone; I did not love anyone, I did not like anyone.
The way I smoke... seeing the way I smoke a cigarette, Dhanalakshmi desired me; seeing the way I drink rum, Rakkamma desired me.
Hui hui hui hui hui hui hui, huihaa hui haa hui haa hui haa hui haa!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song is a playful and energetic Tamil folk-pop track where the male protagonist boasts about his irresistible swagger and appeal. He humorously lists various women who have fallen for him because of specific everyday actions—whether it's how he smokes, drinks, dresses in modern or traditional attire, sports a mustache, sings, or dances. Despite receiving endless attention and love letters from numerous women across the town, the refrain delivers a witty twist: he playfully claims that he doesn't love or care for any of them in return, maintaining his nonchalant, carefree attitude.
