Hey, come on, my sparkling girl!
Don't put on an act!
To this rocking folk beat,
Shall we dance and blow their minds?
Come on, my sparkling girl!
Don't put on an act!
To this rocking folk beat,
Shall we dance and blow their minds?
You ask for things so colourfully,
You gaze at me so powerfully,
You look so full of youth,
And my heart is packed housefull!
Papparappa papparappa
Papparappa papparappa
He grinds the already ground batter,
In the game of mom and dad,
He washes the already washed clothes,
Replaying the tale of Adam and Eve!
To grind the batter, to wash the clothes,
To grind the batter, to wash the clothes,
He grinds the already ground batter,
In the game of mom and dad,
He washes the already washed clothes,
Replaying the tale of Adam and Eve!
The human race is a spinning wheel,
And the Almighty set it in motion!
Every man needs a wife,
And wears himself out searching for a girl!
You grew a beard in despair,
And I've arrived to be your pair!
Singing a song to forget our worries,
Let's get together and rock the floor!
Papparappa papparappa
Papparappa papparappa
...
Ailasa ailasa ailasa
Ailasa ailasa ailasa
Ailasa ailasa ailasa
Oh... ho... ho... ho...
My status right now is single,
Come on over, let's mingle!
We can tag each other,
And you can share as well!
We can upload too,
We can download too!
A Wi-Fi connection is enough, girl,
Come and be my wife, girl!
Don't play your naughty tricks,
Don't send me a friend request!
Male: Our chat isn't over yet,
So don't sign out on me!
This is ultra-modern fashion, boy,
It's an unlimited connection, boy!
You're the guy I like so much,
When are you going to be my husband?
Facebook is so attractive,
And you're raking in all the likes!
Your look is so cute,
Giving me such a thrilling kick!
Papparappa papparappa
Papparappa papparappa
Come on, man!
Silsila, Silsila, hey Silsila!
Hey, Sal sala, hey sala sala!
You are the king of my heart,
Like the God of Love reborn!
Believe me when I say it,
You have so much strength and energy!
Oh no, I won't give you any trouble, girl,
If I give you anything, it'll be a baby in your arms!
Don't provoke me,
Don't cast your fishing hook!
Snappy, stylish, and snug,
Is the blouse I stitched!
Male: If I suddenly make a move,
You'll kick up a huge fuss!
You're the true boss of love,
Wherever you step turns to gold!
I've gone totally crazy for you,
You're always full of mass appeal!
In the beginning, they sweeten you with ice,
And then they squeeze all your juice out!
A man's heart is so kind and sweet,
But in the end, he becomes a broken Devadas!
Papparappa papparappa
Papparappa papparappa
Come on, my sparkling girl!
Don't put on an act!
To this rocking folk beat,
Shall we dance and blow their minds?
You ask for things so colourfully,
You gaze at me so powerfully,
You look so full of youth,
And my heart is packed housefull!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song from 'Vizhithiru' (2017) is an energetic folk-pop track written by T. Rajendar. It blends fast-paced Tamil kuthu rhythm with modern social media terminology such as Facebook, tagging, sharing, Wi-Fi, and downloading. The lyrics portray flirtatious romantic banter between lovers who discuss love, relationships, and modern digital lifestyle habits with humor and high energy. The song humorously compares domestic married life to repetitive actions like 'grinding ground flour' or 'washing washed clothes', referencing the ancient cycle starting from Adam and Eve. Through fast rhyming lyrics characteristic of T. Rajendar's style, the track celebrates youthful romance, social media obsession, and playful couple arguments.
