Hey, it is completely ruined,
even cool Ooty got heated up!
Our buddy got caught in a mess,
and it turned into a locked case!
It is daily comedy around here,
you just have to watch and laugh!
With a smiley on your face,
oh, you are attending class!
Bunking classes from now on,
sneaking cheat-sheets,
and failing again and again!
College Kumar...
turned out to be so average!
Hey, on the nearby bench,
sits pretty girl Manju,
and his heart beats to a wild rhythm!
College Kumar... Kumar...
turned out to be so average!
On the nearby bench,
sits pretty girl Manju,
and his heart beats to a wild rhythm!
Hey College Kumar...
Don't settle for average!
Hey College Kumar...
Even the guy is just average... hey!
Hey, grey hair got dyed black,
the kids have all grown up,
but even so, for this dad,
thoughts are still youthful!
Is this all just comedy,
or is it romance when you look closely?
Hey, high BP and diabetes showed up,
even coffee and tea were given up,
but while standing at the bus stop,
suddenly he gets all flustered with care!
Only before marriage,
the heart was fresh like a flower!
Through every nook and corner,
squeezing through every tiny gap,
age just slipped away!
Once the teenage years come to an end,
responsibilities begin!
Just when he thought
of writing that exam,
the pen's ink ran out!
Don't run away, Kumar,
don't fool around, average guy!
The games you left unplayed back then,
play all those games now!
Hahahaha...
College Kumar...
turned out to be so average!
On the nearby bench,
sits pretty girl Manju,
and his heart beats to a wild rhythm!
College Kumar... Kumar...
turned out to be so average!
On the nearby bench,
sits pretty girl Manju,
and his heart beats to a wild rhythm!
...
Hey, mom's packed lunch,
the sweltering heat of a Monday morning!
Just for the T20 match,
this man stands right up!
Is this all just comedy,
or is it romance when you look closely?
Hey... bajji, vada, and paaya soup!
Even grandma is playing PUBG!
Making TikTok videos endlessly,
the brain has turned to mush!
Without even warning the soda,
the bubbles burst out!
Ah, the open mouth could not close,
and the tongue got into trouble!
Right before the last ball,
a wide ball was bowled!
Ah, after wandering around in life,
it took a sharp U-turn!
Don't run away, Kumar,
don't fool around, average guy!
The games you left unplayed back then,
play all those games now...
Play them now... (3)
College Kumar...
turned out to be so average!
Hey, on the nearby bench,
sits pretty girl Manju,
and his heart beats to a wild rhythm!
College Kumar... Kumar...
turned out to be so average!
Hey, on the nearby bench,
sits pretty girl Manju,
and his heart beats to a wild rhythm!
Hey... hey...
Kumar... hey...
Hey ey!
Kumar...
Hey... ey!
Hey ey ey ey ey ey!
Hey Kumar...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'College Kumar' is a fun, energetic track written by lyricist Arivu that humorously depicts the life, struggles, and late-blooming aspirations of an middle-aged average man named Kumar returning to or reminiscing about college life. The lyrics contrast the youthfulness of modern college life with the physical ailments, family responsibilities, and nostalgic desires of an older generation trying to fit in or catch up with modern trends like TikTok and PUBG.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Rhyme (Edhukai / Monai)

Hey oothikichu oothikichu / Ooty soodachu

The song heavily uses end-rhymes and internal rhyming for comedic tempo, such as pairing 'oothikichu' with 'soodachu' and 'maattikichu'.

Metaphor

Pena maiyum theendhaachu

'Pena maiyum theendhaachu' (The pen's ink ran out) serves as a metaphor for lost time or energy when facing late life exams and challenges.

Humorous Juxtaposition

PUBG aadum aaya thaan

Contrasting elderliness with youth pop-culture such as 'PUBG aadum aaya' (Grandma playing PUBG) and 'Tikku tokku' to create comedic imagery.
