Shares in IT companies,
Food ordered from Swiggy,
And battles in PUBG—that was all yesterday!
Looking up at the open sky,
The youth who used to say 'Wow!'
Are now celebrating together by the village lake.
That I once sent to foreign lands,
All: All those brilliant minds,
Male: To protect our motherland,
All: Have now united as one!
Male: The entire crowd that called us
All: A bunch of clowns,
Male: After seeing our massive harvest,
Has now been struck with fear!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

These lyrics reflect modern youth culture—highlighting tech shares, food delivery apps like Swiggy, and online games like PUBG—while contrasting it with a awakening toward native roots and patriotism. The narrator highlights how intellectuals who migrated abroad ('brain drain') are now uniting to safeguard their motherland. Furthermore, the lines serve as a triumphant response to critics, noting that those who once mocked them were silenced by their ultimate success.

Trivia

The lyrics feature self-referential meta-humor acknowledging Jayam Ravi's career trajectory, specifically referencing his 2019 blockbuster film 'Comali' ('Namma comalinu sonna koottamellam collection-eh paartha pinna bayanthuduche') to mock critics who doubted the movie's box-office potential before it became a huge commercial success.
