Hey girl... oh yeah...
யூ டியூப்ல
மேளம் பூ பேஸ்டைம்ல
தூவும் அந்த நேரம்
ரொம்ப தூரம் இல்ல
மாறி போச்சு காலம்
Drums playing on YouTube
Flowers showered via FaceTime
That old era is far away
No, times have changed now
சொந்தம் பந்தம்
நேர வந்து வாழ்த்து
சொல்ல வேணும் இது
சொந்தம் இல்ல ஸ்மைலி
வந்து வாட்ஸ் அப்புக்குள்
கூவும்
Relatives and kin in person
Should come and bless us
This isn't that kind of family connection
Smileys come cooing inside WhatsApp
அந்த டவ்ரி மனி
ஹையோ மேட்ரிமோனி
கொஞ்சம் ஸ்லிப்
ஆச்சுன்னா ஹெட்டு
மேல துணி
That dowry money
Oh dear, matrimony sites
If you slip up just a little bit
You will end up covering your head in shame
இங்க டெக்னாலஜி
கோடு கிளிச்சாச்சுடி அத
தாண்டி சேர ரெண்டு
ஹார்ட்டும் ரெடி
Here, modern technology
Has drawn a line, girl
Crossing that to unite
Both hearts are ready
அடியே .......
Hey girl... oh yeah...

This isn't that kind of family connection
Smileys come cooing inside WhatsApp
சொந்தம் வரும்
பொழிவோம் பாசத்தை
பந்தியா வச்சி காண்ட்ராக்ட்ன்னு
கொடுத்தாரு விட்டு
போச்சு பாயசம்
Relatives come and shower love
Serving affection like a grand feast
They ruined it calling it a contract
And missed out on the sweet payasam
ஹங்க்ரி கவ்வு
பசியில வெளிய
வெயிட்டிங்கு பிளாஸ்டிக்
இலை கொடுத்தா
ஸ்ட்ரைட்டா கைலாசம்
A hungry cow out of hunger
Is waiting outside
If you serve it on a plastic leaf
It goes straight to heaven
மாப்பிள்ள
கிடைச்சா அது
என்ன பெருசா
குழு :
கொஞ்சம்
சந்தோசம் 50-50 தான்
மண்டபம்
கிடைச்சா ஆட்டத்த
போடு
குழு :
லக்கு இல்லைனா
ஆன்லைன்ல தாலி கட்டு
Is getting a groom such a huge deal?
Chorus: Happiness is just 50-50
Female: If you get a wedding hall, dance away!
Chorus: If you have no luck, tie the knot online!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song humorously satirizes how modern technology, social media, and digital communication have transformed traditional Tamil wedding rituals and family relationships. Instead of live music and personal visits, weddings now feature YouTube drum beats, FaceTime flower showers, and WhatsApp smiley greetings. Vivek's lyrics capture the contemporary shift where online matrimony, virtual alliances, and digital conveniences collide with traditional expectations.
