Hey, there is liquor to drink, drink, and drink!
And crunchy murukku snacks for you to bite, bite, and bite!
Hey, there is liquor to drink, drink, and drink!
And crunchy murukku snacks for you to bite, bite, and bite!
There are songs for you to sing,
and I am the companion for your song!
Hey, there is liquor to drink, drink, and drink!
And crunchy murukku snacks for you to bite, bite, and bite!
The liquor I brewed is first class,
drink it up, sir, this is your second glass!
The schooling I had was up to third grade,
I ended up coming here, so
I never went to fourth grade, sir!
I ended up coming here, so
I never went to fourth grade, sir!
Hey, there is liquor to drink, drink, and drink!
And crunchy murukku snacks for you to bite, bite, and bite!
If you plan to be naughty, I am fifth class!
When my anger boils over, my mind is sixth class!
I drank even more than you, this is the seventh glass!
Oh go on, sir, am I not out of your reach?
Oh go on, sir, am I not out of your reach?
Hey, there is liquor to drink, drink, and drink!
And crunchy murukku snacks for you to bite, bite, and bite!
Why do you desire me? You are ninth class!
My cousin is there, and he is tenth class!
Compared to you, he is truly high class!
Do not swoon in vain, you are very low class!
Do not swoon in vain, you are very low class!
Hey, there is liquor to drink, drink, and drink!
And crunchy murukku snacks for you to bite, bite, and bite!
Hey, there is liquor to drink, drink, and drink!
And crunchy murukku snacks for you to bite, bite, and bite!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This lively dance song from Sarithira Nayagan (1984) features a playful cabaret-style performance where the singer tempts and teases patrons at a tavern with drinks ('sarakku') and snacks ('murukku'). Lyricist Vaali cleverly uses a counting scheme from 1st class to 10th class to deliver witty retorts, comparing booze, behavior, social standing, and smartness.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Adukku Thodar (Reduplication)

Ada kudichchikka kudichchikka kudichchikka irukku sarakku

Repetition of words like 'kudichchikka' and 'kadichchikka' for rhythmic speed and emphasis.

Iyaibu (End Rhyme & Numerical Wordplay)

Naan kaaichchi vachcha sarakku ithu onnaam class-u

Sequential counting rhyme using school classes ('onnaam class-u', 'irandaam class-u', up to 'paththaang class-u') to structure the verses.

Contrast / Juxtaposition

Ada veenaa sokkaathae needhan veri lo class-u

Contrasting 'hai class-u' (high class) with 'veri lo class-u' (very low class) to taunt the listener.
