If given the chance, we will touch the sun!
If it burns us, we'll let go only because it burned,
Yet we will never give up our efforts, oh!
When it comes to trying again, we are Ghazni,
When it comes to fighting and winning, we are Rajini!
We will never fall into defeat, oh!
On Sunday, it's a matinee show at Mayajaal,
On Monday, it's shopping at Lifestyle,
On Tuesday, it's hanging out at Spencer Plaza,
We are good boys!
On Wednesday, it's fishing at Muttukadu,
On Thursday, it's checking out girls at Kishkinta,
On Friday, it's chatting on the internet,
Life is our choice!
If given the chance, we will touch the sun!
If it burns us, we'll let go only because it burned,
Yet we will never give up our efforts, oh!
When it comes to trying again, we are Ghazni,
When it comes to fighting and winning, we are Rajini!
We will never fall into defeat, oh!
Aah... aah... aah...
Haa... aah... aah...
Aah... aah... aah... aah...
Haa... aah... aah...
In college, there are crazy
rules and restrictions everywhere!
Every single professor
is as irritating as a razor blade!
They bore us to death teaching classes, oh!
They grill us endlessly!
Hey, sitting right in our pocket
is a credit card!
Paying it back to the bank
is our father's headache!
We don't have the worry of debt, oh!
At home, I am the pampered child!
For students having their fun,
why should there be any censorship?
For the wind that roams across town,
what yellow line can hold it back, my friend?
Shall we each find a girlfriend?
Shall we master the new trends in love?
Shall we give all the old ways a total makeover?
Come, come, my friend!
Sometimes love might fail here,
even if we fail, we can bounce back like Ganguly!
Another love story can blossom again,
will it bloom, won't it?
...
Hey hey hey ey!
Here comes a mini-bus wearing a skirt!
We've got to send her an SMS!
She is a tsunami of glamour, oh!
A true duplicate of Namitha!
Hey, she's like an orthodox aunty
dressed in a modern salwar suit!
Oh my goodness, stunned
are so many guys!
From head to toe, she's like a sleek mobile phone,
Oh... oh!
and her sweet smile is like a ringtone!
She leaps back and forth
just like a dolphin!
If we let our guard down even a little,
she will completely floor us, my friend!
Learn the lessons of love from me, buddy!
Listen carefully to what I say!
Accept me as your mentor!
Come on, my boy!
There is no battle as sweet as love!
Falling in love is truly no crime!
No guy is totally innocent at this age!
Come on, my disciple!
If given the chance, we will touch the sun!
If it burns us, we'll let go only because it burned,
Yet we will never give up our efforts, oh!
When it comes to trying again, we are Ghazni,
When it comes to fighting and winning, we are Rajini!
We will never fall into defeat, oh!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic youth track captures the carefree spirit, optimism, and daily lifestyle of modern college students. The lyrics celebrate living life on one's own terms—enjoying every day of the week with shopping, movies, and internet browsing, while remaining unfazed by strictly demanding professors or financial burdens borne by parents. It emphasizes resilience in love and life through pop culture analogies like Mahmud of Ghazni's persistence and Rajinikanth's iconic victories. The song further explores youthful romance, urban youth culture, and camaraderie among friends. Encouraging a fearless attitude towards falling in love and overcoming heartbreak (comparing a comeback in love to cricketer Sourav Ganguly), the narrator playfully positions himself as a guru guiding his friend through the rules of modern romance.

Trivia

The track is composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja for the film 'Thottal Poo Malarum' (2007), directed by P. Vasu, which marked the debut of his son Sakthi Vasu. Lyricist Vaali cleverly fused contemporary youth slang, English daily schedules, and current pop-culture icons (such as Namitha, Ganguly, and Rajinikanth) to resonate with late 2000s college students.
