We will whistle softly,
If we get lucky, we will flirt and romance!
கிசுகிசுன்னு விசில் அடிப்போம்

Look at these blooming roses,
Aaha, we are the young kings!
பார் இந்த ரோஜாக்கள்

If students set their minds to something,
They are true kings at completing it!

முடிப்பதிலே மன்னவர்கள்
Whatever we imagined, exactly as imagined,
Achieving it is our true path!
நெனச்சதெல்லாம் நெனச்சப்படி
அடைவதுதான் நமது வழி
You celebrate this life,
Aaha, become a honey-sucking beetle!
நீ இதை கொண்டாடு
ஆஹா தேன் உண்ணும் வண்டாகு
Fall in love, my friend, don't you have two eyes?
Don't you wish to sing a love song?
லவ் பண்ணுடா இரு கண்ணில்லையா
காதல் பாட்டுதான் சொல்ல பிரியமில்லையா
Ah, do not worry at all,
To the songs composed by Ilaiyaraaja!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic youth track captures the lighthearted, carefree attitude of college students who prefer enjoying their teenage years over stressing about academics. Expressing skepticism about formal education, the youths talk about driving around, going to theaters, hanging out at roadside spots, and flirting, viewing themselves as young kings and modern Romeos.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Edhugai (Rhyming Second Syllable)
“Manasu vachchaa maanavargal / Mudippathil mannavargal”

Monai (Initial Alliteration)
“Kilukiluppaa padaiyeduppom / Kilialukku valai virippom”
Repetition of the initial sound 'Ki' across consecutive lines for catchy cadence.
Simile (Upamanai)

Comparing the lighthearted freedom of youth to flying birds ('Kuruvigal pol').
Self-Referential Metaphor
“Ilayaraja pottu vachcha paatrukku”
