Shuklam baradharam...
Whether you look at me,
or walk away without looking,
I will keep looking at you.
Whether you talk to me,
or walk away without talking,
I will keep talking to you.
Whether you look at me,
or walk away without looking,
I will keep looking at you,
I will just keep looking at you!
Whether you talk to me,
or walk away without talking,
I will keep talking to you,
I will just keep talking to you!
Once you grow old, girl,
you won't get this chance!
While we are still in our youth,
this is the best chance to unite!
Whether you look at me,
or walk away without looking,
I will keep looking at you,
I will just keep looking at you!
Whether you look at me calmly,
or look at me in anger,
I will enjoy both,
I will cherish both!
Whether I see you in the morning,
or see you in the evening,
all I think of is kissing you,
all I think of is giving you a kiss!
Stealing the music of your anklets,
I am going to make a symphony.
Drawing a portrait of you,
I will make it a Guinness record!
Whether you smile at me,
or walk away without smiling,
I will keep admiring you,
I will just keep admiring you!
Whether I see you in my dreams,
or see you in real life,
I will keep thinking of you,
I will just keep thinking of you!
Only once a year,
does Valentine's Day come,
but girl, for you and me,
it arrives all year round!
Whether you look at me,
or walk away without looking,
I will keep looking at you,
I will just keep looking at you!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This lighthearted and upbeat romantic song expresses a lover's relentless devotion and enthusiasm regardless of how his beloved reacts to him. Whether she looks at him, ignores him, smiles, gets angry, or speaks to him, he vows to continuously adore, look at, and think of her. He highlights that while youth lasts, they should embrace love without waiting until old age. The lyrics use playful imagery such as turning the jingling sound of her anklets into a grand symphony and painting her portrait to break a Guinness World Record. Ultimately, the protagonist declares that while Valentine's Day occurs once a year for everyone else, every day of the year feels like Valentine's Day for the two of them.
