Poetic devices
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Koppai ennodu / Bodhai unnodu”
The words 'ennodu' (with me) and 'unnodu' (with you) rhyme at the end of the respective lines, creating a rhythmic harmony.
Metaphor
“Lovely thaen en kannilae”
The singer metaphorically compares the allure in her eyes to 'lovely honey'.
Alliteration / Monai
“Lucky champion en kaiyilae / Lovely thaen en kannilae”
The repetition of initial 'L' sounds ('Lucky', 'Lovely') provides a catchy Westernized vocal flow.
