Update: Meaning of soup song and soup boys
Why This Kolaveri Di is quite the rage right now, everybody’s humming it! Simply put, Kolaveri means killer rage. While for most folks this song doesn’t need a translation, here’s our attempt at translating it from Madras Tamil to English, with all nuances included, while keeping the meaning intact.
Play the song while you go over the lyrics.
Yo boys, I am singing song…
Soup song, flop song.
Soup song, flop song.

Why this killer rage, …, …, girl?
The moon is in the distance, the moon.
Moon’s colour is white.
Night’s background is white, the night,
Night’s colour is black.
Moon’s colour is white.
Night’s background is white, the night,

She’s a fair-skinned girl, girl,
Girl’s heart is black,
Her eyes and my eyes met,
My future is now dark.

Buddy, take notes,
and take the saxophone in your hand.
and take the saxophone in your hand.
Our new friend Puppy Manohar thinks that the “snacks” in the original subtitles is a typo which should be “sax”. The saxophone solo that immediately follows these lines is proof enough of his hypothesis.
“pa pa paan pa pa paan pa pa paa pa pa paan”
Play it right.
Play it right.
Super, buddy! Ready?
Ready? 1… 2… 3… 4…
Ready? 1… 2… 3… 4…

Only English, eh!

Glass in hand,
Scotch in glass,
Tears in eyes,
Life’s empty,
Girl shows up,
Life’s going downhill.

Tears in eyes,

Love, love, oh my love,
You stood me up.
Cow, cow, holy cow,
I want you here now!
God, I’m dying now,
But she’s happy, how?
You stood me up.

We don’t have a choice.

Update:
“Soup song” and “soup boys” meaning
Quite a few people were curious about what that meant. We quote the main man Dhanush himself:
Soup song na love failure song. Soup boys na kadhal tholvi adaindha bangam boys. Doubt clear aa? God bless
— @dhanushkraja
This translates to:
“Soup song” means “rejection” song. “Soup boys” are boys who got rejected. Has your doubt been cleared? God bless!
In Hinglish, that would be:
“Soup song” means “KLPD” song. “Soup boys” are boys who get KLPDs
