Around four sides of the tiffin stall
Smell of fried anchovy and crab gets caught
If you show off, you land a girl
பெருசு வுட்டா ரவுசு பண்ணும்
புள்ளிங்க எல்லாம் காணா கட்டும்
கொரலு வுட்டா பொருளு தட்டும்
கிக்கிரி பிக்கிரி வாய்சு வுடும்
If you exaggerate, it creates a scene
The local boys compose Gaana songs
If you raise your voice, you grab stuff
Gives a quirky voice

Oh Dolokku, Dolokku, Dolokku
டோலாக்கு கண்ணு ரெண்டும்

What a fun and playful laughter!
It throws my heart out of rhythm

Living with marriage and kids is boring
A live-in relationship without tension is awesome
புரியாம உளறாத கூட சோறு
கல்யாணம் பண்ணின்னு லைஃப்பு பாரு
Don't blabber without understanding, come eat meals together
Get married first and then see how life goes
ஏ அசால்டு சண்டயில
ஆபிஸ்து நான்தாமா
கோன் ஐசு கொண்டையில
ஹேப்பி நா ஆனேன்மா
In casual fights
I am the big shot, my girl
With your cone-ice styled hair bun
I became so happy, my girl

You proud guy with a mustache
Don't act like a child
All your tricks and talk

It knocks me out

With that pearl-toothed smile
The thatch hut collapses

Seeing you, I am defeated
பளபளக்கும் பப்பிமாசு

மஜாவா சுருட்டி வுட்டா
சிலுசிலுக்கும் மைம்மாஹேரு
Glowing like a pomelo fruit
Look at her cheek
Stylishly rolled up
Soft, shiny hair
ஏரியா சிதறவுடும்
மாமன பாரு
மச்சான் உன்னபோல லவுசு
பண்ண இங்க யாரு
Shall I blow things up in style?
Look at this man!
Darling, who is there to love
Like you do here?
மேக்கப்பே இல்லாம
நைட்டில போனாலும்
பல்சர் பைக்கிக்கே
பல்சு வீக்காகும்
Even without makeup
If you walk out at night
Even a Pulsar bike's
Pulse will go weak!
ரொமன்சா பேசிக்கின்னு
மூட நீ மாத்தாம
லாங் டிரைவ் கூட்டின்னு போ
மெரினா கடல் மேல
Talking romantically
Change my mood
Take me on a long drive
Along the Marina beach
நீத்தான் குப்பிட்
உன்ன பாத்தா நா அப்பீட்டு
நீத்தான் குப்பிட்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic song is a local North Chennai (Kasimedu/Royapuram flavor) romantic folk gaana duet featuring North Madras slang. The male protagonist playfully boasts about neighborhood life, street vibes, and his love for the girl, whom he describes as charming and captivating. In response, the female lead playfully checks his ego while acknowledging his affection, creating a witty banter between them about marriage versus modern living. Filled with local food references (nethili fry, crab, tiffin stalls), youth lingo, and energetic rhythms, the song celebrates youthful romance set against the backdrop of coastal North Chennai's vibrant culture.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Edhugai (Second letter rhyming in Tamil poetry)
“Akkam pakkam / Sikkuna sikkum sikkum”
Matching second consonants across consecutive lines, creating rhythmic flow typical of Gaana songs (e.g., 'Akkam' / 'Sikkuna').
Metaphor
“Palapalakkum bablimaasu / Kannam paaru”
Comparing the girl's glowing cheeks to a glossy pomelo fruit ('bablimaasu') and her smile to pearls ('muthu pallu').
Hyperbole
“Pulsar bikeukkae / Pulse-u week aagum”
Exaggerating that even a Pulsar bike's 'pulse' would drop weak upon seeing her beauty without makeup at night.

Trivia
