Come, let's kill the nights
Come, let's drain rivers of wine
Come nights.. come nights..
Come nights.. come nights..
Come nights.. come nights..
Come nights.. come…
Come nights.. come…
The calendar – throw it away
Time zones – put them in the trash
Stretch your legs – kick that sky
Typo – drink a cup
Untraveled and unknown,
on all those paths,
our feet advance without being told.
A body that has no desires,
all the seven worlds will blame!
Hey ey thara rara re
Wow hoo thara rara re
Hey, check this out
.......................................
Hey, the energy equation Einstein wrote,
the energy equation Einstein wrote,
let's rewrite it in brand new ways!
Let's factor in the amount of liquor,
for the world… to wake up!
The red blood cells ask every day
to gulp down and splash red wine,
and if the white blood cells bathe in white liquor,
we will find pure heaven!
Hey, let's conquer the nights!
Come, let's drain rivers of wine!
The calendar – throw it away
Time zones – put them in the trash
Stretch your legs – kick that sky
Typo – drink a cup
Moons that wash away our age,
birds learning poetry,
in a sky foaming with youth,
will spread and overflow!
When we entered this new city,
there were earthquakes in the tiny cage of our hearts.
Getting used to it, the tremors vanished,
and we went wild like crazy monkeys!
Hey, let's conquer the nights!
Come, let's drain rivers of wine!
The calendar – throw it away
Time zones – put them in the trash
Stretch your legs – kick that sky
Typo – drink a cup
Untraveled and unknown,
on all those paths,
our feet advance without being told.
A body that has no desires,
all the seven worlds will blame!
Yeah.. yeah
Hey ey thara rara re
Wow hoo thara rara re
Let's do this Bangalore style
Style, style, style……
Come on.... ahh.....

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic song, composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar with lyrics by Kabilan Vairamuthu, serves as a high-spirited anthem celebrating youth, freedom, and night life. The song encourages throwing away calendars and ignoring time zones to live in the moment without boundaries or inhibitions. It metaphorically describes rewriting scientific laws (like Einstein's mass-energy equivalence) through the lens of revelry and enjoying life's pleasures. Narrating the feeling of entering a new city and initially feeling nervous before breaking free like wild creatures, the lyrics reflect the spirit of college youth and young adults exploring unknown paths. It asserts that life without passion, thirst, or desire is criticized by society anyway, so one should embrace life fully and conquer the night.
