Is this enough, or do you want some more?
Ha, can you take it, or will your body swell with bruises, sir?
Hey, is this enough, or do you want some more?
Ha, can you take it, or will your body swell with bruises, sir?
Hey, this is a whole new brand of crazy!
Look at what kind of character this guy is!
Come on, settle a whole new score,
and toss him around and chase him away!
Hey, is this enough, or do you want some more?
Ha, can you take it, or will your body swell with bruises, sir?
There were love messages brought by swans
in ancient times.
There were messages sent through brothers
in the lessons of romance.
We have heard of little boys
carrying love notes down the streets.
But an unmarried boy bringing a love message...
where has anyone ever heard such a story?
Looking at a gorgeous, unmarried girl,
Looking at a gorgeous, unmarried girl,
he came to deliver a love message!
What on earth is this funny drama?
Craving it so much? Shall we whip up a treat and test you?
Hey, is this enough, or do you want some more?
Oh my, can you take it, or will your body swell with bruises, sir? Hey!
If you are real men,
you should speak with courage!
You should paint yourselves
in the vibrant shades of women!
Your only job is
to play matchmaker and bring couples together!
Why come looking for trouble and get trapped?
Go look for someone else!
Innocent king, do not look at us with the wrong intentions!
Innocent king, do not look at us with the wrong intentions!
Looking at a priceless girl, do not ask for the wrong thing!
Shall we settle the score especially for you?
Ha, is this enough, or do you want some more?
Ha, can you take it, or will your body swell with bruises, sir?
Hey, this is a whole new brand of crazy!
Look at what kind of character this guy is!
Come on, settle a whole new score,
and toss him around and chase him away!
Ha, is this enough, or do you want some more?
Ha, can you take it, or will your body swell with bruises, sir?
Hey, is this enough, or do you want some more?
Oh my, can you take it, or will your body swell with bruises, sir?
Drrrr.......drrrr......

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This energetic and comical song is filled with playful banter, teasing an overconfident or naive lover who tries to play messenger or matchmaker for a young woman. Using lively scatting and witty Tamil colloquialisms, the speaker ridicules the protagonist's foolishness and warns him not to get over his head or cross limits with the maiden.
