Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
'What Are You Talking Lady' from the film Vairii (2018) is a breezy, upbeat Tanglish song penned by Anthony Dasan. The protagonist playfully addresses his love interest, who misjudges his rugged appearance as mean-spirited. He assures her that despite his tough exterior, he holds a deep, tender love for her and keeps her safe in his heart.
