Looking at the girl, looking down at the ground,
Looking at her eyes, he gets stunned!
If her dad shows up, we flee,
But we'll show up again later!
Hey, single boys,
We've come now to mingle!
Ready to build a Taj Mahal,
Just give us the bricks!
We are single boys,
We've come now to mingle!
To change our status to 'Committed',
Give us the green signal!
Single boys...

Look sharp and check it out, girl!
We'll keep our eyes fixed on you, girl!
Look sharp and check it out, girl!
We'll keep our eyes fixed on you, girl!

What's her complexion, what is it?
Male: Sparkling white!
For her sake, bro,
I'll put up a rocking fight!
What's her hometown, what is it?
Male: The neighboring state!
Chorus: Then she already has a guy,
Buddy, you're late!
I fell in love with her,
Inch by inch!
Chorus: Her dad
Is going to give you
A punch on the nose!
I will take her along
To Marina Beach!
Chorus: For you two to go there together,
A ban has been placed!
Hey, beauty from Kerala,
I will come running if you just smile!
Why are you so annoyed with me?
If you say yes, it's time to celebrate!
I will respect myself
As a proper gentleman!
If you agree and invite me,
I'll work hard as your husband!

Chorus: He's chasing after you,
Her dad!
Whichever way you turn,
Your face is standing right there!
With the girl you desire,
Go and talk with guts!
In every little opening you get,
Jump right in and make it work!
Her dad might be Thomas,
From now on, girl, I'm the boss!
Trending in my heart, girl,
Is that smile of yours!
Pending for a long time, girl,
Is my love application file!
Look at it kindly,
And approve it for me, girl!
Stitch up my torn heart!
Ditch that friend of yours,
And marry me in the end!
Gazing up at airplanes,
I was riding in a shared auto, girl!
With your parachute-like gaze,
You lifted me up high, girl!
Come on, girl with dangling earrings,
Give me the green signal!
With your electric eyes,
You entered my innocent heart!
If she smiles, we'll grin!
If she glares, we'll run!
If she smiles, we'll grin!
If she glares, we'll run!
If she smiles, we'll grin!
If she glares, we'll run!
If she smiles, we'll grin!
If she glares, we'll run!
Single boys,
We are single boys!
Single boys,
We are single boys...

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
'Single Pasanga' is an energetic youth anthem from the movie Natpe Thunai that humorously celebrates bachelorhood and the lively antics of young men seeking love. Blending local Chennai Gaana vocabulary with modern internet and social media slang, the song details the lighthearted fears of strict fathers, comedic rejections, and the earnest desire to switch relationship status from 'single' to 'committed'.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Hyperbole / Metaphor
“Taj mahal katta ready / Sengal kodunga”
Playfully compares attempting to win a girl's love to constructing a grand monument like the Taj Mahal and asking friends for 'bricks'.
Slang & Code-Mixing (Madras Tamil & English)
“Manasula trending-u di / Unnoda smile-u / Romba naala pending-u di / Ennoda file-u”
Combines local Madras Tamil terms (apeetaavom, ilippom, therippom) with contemporary English technology and relationship jargon (trending, status, pending file).
Rhyme / Emonai (End Rhyme & Alliteration)
“Siricha ilippom / Moracha therippom”
Uses rhythmic Tamil rhyming pairs (Siricha ilippom / Moracha therippom) to create an infectious, easy-to-sing Gaana folk structure.
