ஏய் மம்மி டம்மி குள்ளயே
நீ நீந்தும் போது அச்சம் இல்லையே
பூம் பூம் நீ கண் முழிச்சு பாத்ததும்
பூமி எல்லாமே எல்லாமே அச்சத்தின் ஆட்சி
Hey, inside mummy's tummy
When you were swimming, there was no fear
Boom boom, as soon as you opened your eyes and looked
The entire earth, everything became the rule of fear
எல் கே ஜி சீட் கேட்டு தான்
இன்டர்வியூ அப்போ ஸ்டார்ட்டு தான்
சீட் கெடச்ச பின்ன ரெக்க உடச்சு தான்
யூனிஃபார்ம் ஆ மாட்டிவிட்டு
ஸ்கூல்-உ குள்ள பறக்க விட்டு
Just asking for an LKG seat
That is when the interviews start
Once the seat is obtained, wings are broken
Dressing in uniforms and making them fly into school
வீட்டு பாடம் தந்து றோஸ்ட் பண்ணி டோஸ்ட் பண்ணி
குட்டி இதயத்த ஃபோர்ஸ் பண்ணி வேஸ்ட் பண்ணி
பத்து வயசுல ரேங்க் பண்ணி ஃபெயில் பண்ணி
கிராக்-ஆ ஜாக்-ஆ கிராக்-ஆ ஜாக்-ஆ
ரோபோ போல ரெடி பண்ணி
Giving homework, roasting and toasting
Forcing and wasting the little heart
Ranking and failing at ten years of age
Crack-ah jack-ah crack-ah jack-ah
Making us ready like robots
சின்ன தோள் மேல மெரட்டி மெரட்டி மூட்ட ஏத்த
காசு வேட்டைக்காக வெரட்டி வெரட்டி ரூட்ட மாத்த
உன் வீர தோல உரிச்சு உரிச்சு அச்சம் ஊட்ட
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை பாட சொல்லி தலையில் கொட்ட
Threatening and loading heavy bags on small shoulders
Chasing and changing routes for the hunt of money
Stripping away your brave shoulders and instilling fear
Hitting on the head while forcing to sing 'Fearless'
{அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சம் என்பதில்லையே
அச்சம் என்பதில்லையே} (4)
There is no fear, there is no fear, fear does not exist
Fear does not exist
There is no fear, there is no fear, fear does not exist
Fear does not exist
There is no fear, there is no fear, fear does not exist
Fear does not exist
There is no fear, there is no fear, fear does not exist
Fear does not exist

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Achamillai' from Hey Sinamika is a fast-paced, satirical commentary on the omnipresence of modern anxieties. Starting from the safe haven of a mother's womb, the lyricist traces a human life through hyper-competitive schooling, societal expectations, financial insecurity, relationships, and existential paranoia about diseases, politics, and future uncertainties.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Irony and Literary Allusion
“Achamillai achamillai paada solli thalaiyil kotta”
Subverts Mahakavi Bharathiyar's iconic revolutionary anthem 'Achamillai Achamillai' (Fearless) to highlight how modern society hypocritically forces children to recite lines about fearlessness while instilling anxiety at every turn.
Onomatopoeia (Irrattai Kilavi)
“Paadhi neram bakku bakku / Meedhi neram dhikku dhikku”
Uses rhythmic sound words to evocative effect to convey palpitation and heart fluttering caused by dread.
Rhyme (Iyaibu)
“Veettu paadam thandhu roast panni toast panni”
Uses English and Tamil rhyming end-words in quick succession to generate a frantic rap rhythm.
Anaphora (Mona / Repetition)
“Ah fear fear fear kan muzhikka fear fear”
Repeats the English word 'fear' continuously to represent the overwhelming, inescapable nature of modern worries.

Trivia
This track marks lead actor Dulquer Salmaan's Tamil singing debut as a lead vocalist/rapper. The title of the movie 'Hey Sinamika' itself comes from a line in the popular song 'Aye Sinamika' from Mani Ratnam's OK Kanmani (2015), which also starred Dulquer Salmaan.
