The one who requested and is listening to this song with fondness is...
Aseervatham from Adayalampattu,
Pazhani from Minjur, Siva from Chromepet (Dialogue)
Play the grand hit track, Ji! (Dialogue)
{Play the grand hit track, Ji!
Play a super hit track, Ji!
Turn up the volume, Ji!
Turn up the speaker volume, Ji!} (2)
When she stood right in front like a microphone...
Inside the heart, it sang 'thanna nannaanae'...
She expressed love on the studio monitor screen...
{Play the grand hit track, Ji!
Play a super hit track, Ji!
Turn up the volume, Ji!
Turn up the speaker volume, Ji!} (2)
Here we go.. hey.. hey!
Here we go.. hey.. eh.. eh.. eh!
Sir, both of you
talking together as a pair
is super awesome, Sir! (Dialogue)
Only you and I are together,
if a listener says so,
what if we host a love show together?
"This program is
brought to you jointly by..." (Dialogue)
You are the Chennai Silks ad,
while I am the Nandu brand lungi!
Will all ten astrological matchings align well for us?
"Please read the offer
document carefully." (Dialogue)
The FM station tune has been tuned,
it has become an 'Ek Duuje Ke Liye' moment!
I enjoy without any break, Susi!
You rock...
Created deep inside my heart,
you are that new melody.
Looking at your face,
I was the one smiling all the time!
Thantha nanae nanae nanane..ae….ae…..
{Play the grand hit track, Ji!
Play a super hit track, Ji!
Turn up the volume, Ji!
Turn up the speaker volume, Ji!} (2)
If we go to a coffee shop,
and order a cappuccino,
what if she gives just a tiny sip?
If we go on a long drive at night,
no seatbelt is needed;
what if a tight close-up moment comes?
The ad break is over,
back-to-back songs have been played,
it's getting late for the next show!
Oh Susi, you smile,
endlessly your talk
I keep listening to!
This love, your love,
is meant just for me, right?
Thantha nanae nanae nananae….

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

It captures the lighthearted romance between two radio hosts, using common radio tropes such as caller dedications, sponsor tags, disclaimers, and commercial break announcements.
