The wife hits me,
Stopping me right in the middle of the street,
Just because I had a drink,
She pulls out a gun, man!
Oh no!
Fights and total chaos,
Are men just a joke to them?
In the hands of women,
Are we all just TV remotes?
If your happiness isn't enough,
Pour yourself a glass!
All the fights with your wife,
Just brush them off like dust!
The moment you take a drink,
Speak deep philosophy!
If we don't drink for even a single day,
It's a loss for the government itself!
The wife hits me,
Stopping me right in the middle of the street,
Just because I had a drink,
She pulls out a gun, man!
Fights and total chaos,
Are men just a joke to them?
In the hands of women,
Are we all just TV remotes?
Even if it's harmful to life,
We will still pour and drink!
Male: Hell yeah!
Male: Unafraid of death,
We are fearless warriors!
Don't bring down our wrath,
Don't you earn our curse!
Nobody here is a saintly Buddha,
So just shut up and walk away!
In this human life,
What is really permanent, man?
Once your life departs,
People will forget your name!
Pure philosophy, uncle!
With those three wedding knots,
Freedom is gone for good, man!
Once you take a drink,
Everything just flies away!
Pour it, buddy, pour it!
Only when we drink this,
Things go wild on the inside!
The wife hits me,
Stopping me in the middle of the street,
Just because I had a drink,
She pulls out a gun, man!
Fights and total chaos,
Are men just a joke to them?
In the hands of women,
Are we all just TV remotes?
[Humming]
Ah, on Instagram and Facebook,
Time just slips away, man!
When searching for sarees and half-sarees,
They are nowhere to be found!
In sleeveless and low-cut tops—
Is modesty lost in that?
Does honor only get lost when we drink?
What kind of justice is that?
Tell 'em, buddy!
To soothe our aching hearts,
We just drink a little bit!
The four weekdays,
We celebrate and pass by,
And the weekend,
We eagerly welcome it in!
Gandhi Jayanti (national dry day),
Whenever it comes, we suffer without a drink!
Beer is totally awesome!
Without it, life itself is
Boring and dull!
That's the way!
Oh no, the wife
Stops me and comes to beat me!
Just because I had a drink,
She pulls out a gun, man!
Fights and total chaos,
Are men just a joke to them?
In the hands of women,
Are we all just TV remotes?
If your happiness isn't enough,
Pour yourself a glass!
All the fights with your wife,
Just brush them off like dust!
Once I down a single drink,
I become a philosopher like poet Kannadasan!
If we don't drink for even a single day,
Male: It's a huge loss for the government, boss!
What do you say to that?

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This track is a fast-paced, humorous 'tasmac/kuthu' anthem centered around married men who seek solace in alcohol to cope with domestic frustrations, wife-related arguments, and the loss of personal freedom post-marriage. Delivered with lighthearted satire, the lyrics joke about how alcohol gives men philosophical wisdom and courage while sarcastically highlighting societal double standards.

Did you know?
Trivia
The lyricist references 'Gandhi Jayanthi' because Tasmac liquor shops in Tamil Nadu are mandatorily closed on Gandhi Jayanti, making it a famously tough day for habitual drinkers in local pop culture.
