Hei dhillae dhillae dhillae
Unnaku venam antha tholla
Hey illae illae illae
Un pokku nalla illae
Palakku thevathaiya
Parvaiyila pulli vaichen
Pavadai rattinathai
Pakathila suththa vaichen
Love oru feel nu
Naa solluren nee kelu
Antha love vae venam munna
Athu puppy puppy shame mu
Kandangi selaiyai nan
Kalaiyila killa vaichen
Kanadi thavaniyai nan
Malaiyila thulla vaichen
Love oru feel nu
Naa solluren nee kelu
Antha love vae venam munna
Athu puppy puppy shame mu
Manasum jilu jilukka
Vayasum kilu kilukka
Kolusum jala jalakka
Kulanthai venummda
Eh kuthu dappang kuthu

Male :Thillae thillae thillae
Thillae thillae thillae
Hei thallae thallae thallae
Thallae thallae thallae
Hey thillae thillae thillae
Thillae thillae thillae
Nee thallae thallae thallae
Thallae thallae thallae
Hey, thille thille thille!
You don't need that trouble!
Hey, no, no, no!
The way you're going isn't good!
The angel in the palanquin,
I set my eyes on her!
The merry-go-round in a skirt,
I made her spin around beside me!
Love is such a feeling,
listen to what I say!
If you say you don't want that love,
that's puppy, puppy shame!
The girl in the Kandangi sari,
I made her pinch me playfully in the morning!
The girl in the glittering half-sari,
I made her leap with joy in the evening!
Love is such a feeling,
listen to what I say!
If you say you don't want that love,
that's puppy, puppy shame!
With your heart thrilled with joy,
your youth tingling with excitement,
and her anklets chiming along,
you'll want to have a child, my friend!
A punch, a dappankuthu folk beat,
spin around just as you please!
A punch, a solid blow,
if a girl walks with you, that's real swagger!
That angel in the palanquin,
I pushed her away with a look!
That merry-go-round in a skirt,
I looked away and kept my distance!
Hey, why do you even need love?
You don't want it, don't want it, buddy!
If you go trusting in love,
man, disaster will strike out of nowhere!
The girl in the Kandangi sari,
I scolded her with good reason!
The girl in the glittering half-sari,
I cleverly brushed her aside!
Hey, why do you even need love?
You don't want it, don't want it, buddy!
If you go trusting in love,
man, disaster will strike out of nowhere!
With your head spinning around,
your body trembling in panic,
and your heart pounding fast,
don't lose your mind in worry, man!
A punch, a dappankuthu folk beat,
you'll end up completely broken down!
A punch, a heavy blow,
that girl will sell you out and walk away!
It is even the cool month of Margazhi,
so sing, dance, and fall in love!
To transform yourself like Superman,
you need a sweet girl by your side!
Defying the words of the town,
endlessly telling lies,
that deceptive girl
will pull the rug out from under us!
Hey, throwing drama with kohl-lined eyes,
speaking with sweet, charming words,
the moment she enters your life,
all your honor will sail right away!
Hey, stop, stop, stop!
You don't need that trouble!
Hey, no, no, no!
The way you're going isn't good!
The angel in the palanquin,
I set my eyes on her!
The merry-go-round in a skirt,
I made her spin around beside me!
Love is such a feeling,
listen to what I say!
If you say you don't want that love,
that's puppy, puppy shame!
The girl in the Kandangi sari,
I scolded her with good reason!
The girl in the glittering half-sari,
I cleverly brushed her aside!
Hey, why do you even need love?
You don't want it, don't want it, buddy!
If you go trusting in love,
man, disaster will strike out of nowhere!
Get out of here!
Male: Thille thille thille
Thille thille thille
Hey, step back, step back, step back!
Step back, step back, step back!
Hey, thille thille thille
Thille thille thille
You, step back, step back, step back!
Step back, step back, step back!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This upbeat and energetic song from 'Idhu Kathirvelan Kadhal' features a playful debate between opposing viewpoints regarding love and relationships. One perspective argues that love is a joyful, essential feeling that revitalizes life and brings charm, comparing romantic courtship to fun, celebration, and happiness. In contrast, the counter-perspective cautions against the pitfalls of love, painting it as a trap that leads to emotional turmoil, loss of dignity, and foolish decisions. Through folk-infused dance beats and rhyming banter, the track captures a friendly tug-of-war on whether falling in love is worth the trouble or best avoided altogether.
