He's the man! He's the man!
He's the man! He's the man!
He's the man! He's the man!
He's the man! He's the man!
A scorpion! A scorpion!
A scorpion! A scorpion!
A scorpion! A scorpion!
A scorpion! A scorpion!
He's the man! He's the man!
He's the man! He's the man!
A man of Andipatti and Usilampatti,
a real man, man!
If you let your guard down, he will sting—
like a scorpion, a scorpion!
He's the man! He's the man!
He's the man! He's the man!
Chorus: A scorpion! A scorpion!
A scorpion! A scorpion!
A man of Andipatti and Usilampatti,
a real man, man!
If you let your guard down, he will sting—
like a scorpion, a scorpion!
Like the temple chariot
of Veerapandi!
I am going to get caught like an ayira fish (spiny loach),
just watch, watch!
(Watch and see! Watch and see!
{I won't tolerate a single harsh word,
I am a man of fierce pride!
By my very nature and lineage,
I have always been a man of love!} (2)
He's the man! He's the man!
A man of the Madurai district!
Crushing it, crushing it!
Everything I touch turns into a smash hit!
In my hands, a weapon
there is none, just look!
O enemy, my enemy,
my ten fingers are spears!
To make someone a slave,
I don't even know how.
And to live as a slave,
I never could.
With all your money,
you can never buy me.
The sun cannot be trapped inside a bottle!
If a guest comes to my house,
I will slaughter a goat for a feast.
If my brothers-in-law come over,
I will lay out a grand country feast.
Do not carry a palanquin
for anybody!
Work hard and rise up, rise up!
Always fight on, fight on!
Do not sleep!
History will be made for you!
Andipatti... Usilampatti...
Ah, a man of Andipatti and Usilampatti,
a real man, man!
If you let your guard down, he will sting—
like a scorpion, a scorpion!
...
It must drip, it must drip,
sweat must drip onto the earth!
It must pour, it must pour,
crores of wealth must pour in!
We must rule, we must rule,
rule the world with love!
We must live, we must live,
live freely like birds!
I will call out my enemy's name before I strike!
I will always push poverty away!
If someone sparks trouble, I'll finish him off!
If someone shows affection, I'll give my shoulder!
I will hold an umbrella to protect the whole town,
so wave your flags for me across the land!
Once I make up my mind to fight,
trading blows is like daily food to me!
Every day is a celebration, a celebration,
a celebration!
Our joy will never run out!
In the heart, excitement bounces like a ball,
bouncing like a ball!
Our energy will never fade!
A man of Andipatti and Usilampatti,
a real man, man!
If you let your guard down, he will sting—
like a scorpion, a scorpion!
Like the temple chariot
of Veerapandi!
I am going to get caught like an ayira fish (spiny loach),
just watch, watch!
(Watch and see! Watch and see!)
{I won't tolerate a single harsh word,
I am a man of fierce pride!
By my very nature and lineage,
I have always been a man of love!} (2)

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This folk-infused song from 'Aayiram Vilakku' (2011) serves as an energetic celebration of rural pride, self-reliance, and dignity centered around the Madurai belt (referencing local places like Andipatti, Usilampatti, and Veerapandi). The lyrics emphasize that the protagonist refuses to tolerate insults, values his self-respect above money, and treats guests with lavish hospitality while standing fiercely against injustice and oppression. Through metaphors like comparing ten fingers to spears and comparing unyielding spirits to the sun that cannot be contained in a bottle, Vairamuthu crafts an anthem encouraging relentless hard work, brotherhood, and joy. The song portrays a lifestyle where hard work yields rewards, friendship is sacred, and living with honour is paramount.
