அடிக்கிற பொண்டாட்டி
நடுத்தெருவுல நிப்பாட்டி
சரக்க போட்டாலே
தூக்குறாடா துப்பாக்கி
Wife who beats you
Stop her in the middle of the street
If you drink alcohol
Lift up the gun
அய்யய்யோ

ஆம்பளனா விளட்டா
பொம்பளங்க கைக்கு எல்லாம்
நாங்க என்ன ரிமோட்டா
Fights and brawls
Beating up men
To be in the hands of women
Are we a remote control?
உன் சந்தோஷம் பத்தலனா
ஊத்து ஒரு கிளாசு
உன் பொண்ணாட்டி சண்டையெல்லாம்
தட்டிவுடு தூசு
If your happiness is not enough
Pour a glass
All your fights with your wife
Brush them off like dust
தண்ணிய போட்டாலே
தத்துவத்த பேசு
நாம ஒரு நாளு குடிக்காட்டி
கவர்மெண்டுக்குகே லாசு
If you drink alcohol
Talk philosophy
If a few of us don't drink
It is a loss for the government!
அடிக்கிற பொண்டாட்டி
நடுத்தெருவுல நிப்பாட்டி

Even if it is harmful to life
We will pour and drink
Male: Yes
Male: Unafraid of death
We are the warriors, bro
எங்க சாபத்த

Our curse / patience
Do not test us
Nobody is a Buddha here
Shut up and move on
மனுசன் வாழக்கையிலுல
என்னடா நிரந்தரம்
உசுரு போனா
உன் பேர மறந்துரும்
In a human's life
What is permanent, man?
Once life is gone
They forget your name
தத்துவம் மாமா
That is philosophy, uncle
மூனு முடிச்சாலே
போச்சுடா சுதந்திரம்
தண்ணி போட்டாலே
எல்லாமே பறந்திரும்
Once the three knots are tied
Freedom is gone, man
If you drink alcohol
Everything flies away
போடு மச்சான் போடு
இத போட்டாத்தான் உள்ள தாருமாறு
Pour it, buddy, pour it
Only if you drink this
It gets crazy inside
அடிக்கிற பொண்டாட்டி
நடுத்தெருவுல நிப்பாட்டி

ஆ… இன்ஸ்டா பேஸ்புக்கில் ஒடுதடா காலம்
சேல தாவணிய தேடிபாத்தா காணோம்
சீவ்லஸ் ஸ்நோ நெக்கில் போவாத மானம்
குடியில போயிடுமா இதுல என்ன நியாயம்
Ah... on Instagram and Facebook
Time flies away, man
Looking for saree and half-saree
They are nowhere to be seen
அப்படி சொல்லு மாப்பிள்ளை
In sleeveless low-necks
Is dignity lost?
Does dignity go away by drinking?
What kind of justice is this?
மனசு வலிக்கு கொஞ்சோன்டு குடிக்கிறோம்
நாடு கிழமைய கொண்டாடி அனுப்புறோம்
வார கடைசிய வாவான்னு அழைக்கிறோம்
காந்திஜெயந்தி வந்தாலே தவிக்கிறோம்
Tell them like that, son-in-law
பீரு செம ஜோரு
Because the heart hurts
We drink a little bit
Four weekdays
We celebrate and send them off
இது இல்லாட்டி வாழ்க்கையே போரு போரு
The weekend
We invite it saying come, come
Gandhi Jayanti
When it comes, we suffer
அப்படி போடு
Beer is full of energy
Without this, life is
Boring, boring
ஹைய்யோ பொண்டாட்டி
அடிக்க வர்றா நிப்பாட்டி
சரக்க போட்டாலே

Hit it like that

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
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.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor
“Pombalainga kaikku ellam / Naanga enna remote-ah”
Comparing men controlled by women to a 'remote-ah' (remote control).
Emona / Rhyme (Monai)
“Un santhosam pathalana / Un pondatti sandaiyellam”
Matching opening sounds in consecutive lines (e.g., 'Santhosam' and 'Sandaiyellam').
Allusion
“Cutting ah potta naan / Kannadasan case-uh”
Reference to the legendary poet Kannadasan, known for his philosophical drinking songs, to denote deep philosophical thoughts after drinking.
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.
