If your body aches, pour a little local liquor!
If intoxication drops, look at me up and down!
சில நேரம் நெஞ்சு தட்டு கெட்டு அலையுது
பொண்ணப் பாத்தா அங்கே ஒட்டிகிட்டு ஒறங்குது
Sometimes the heart goes off track and wanders around.
Seeing a woman, it clings right there and falls asleep.
உனக்காச்சு எனகாச்சு செலவெல்லாம் வரவாச்சு
நீ தாளாத துன்பம் எல்லாம் தண்ணி விட்டு ஆத்திக்க
It became yours, it became mine; all expenses turned into gain!
Cool down all your unbearable sorrows with alcohol!
ஹேய் நோட்டத்தான் பாத்தா நான் நோட்டு தாரேன்.....
போக்குதான் பாத்து நான் போட்டுத்தாரேன்.....
ஹேய் வாடி புள்ள ஹேய் சின்னச் சிட்டு

Watching your way, I will place a mark for you!
Hey come on, girl, hey little bird!
ஹே ஆதி நாளில் வானம் வந்தது
வானம் தொறந்து காத்து வந்தது
காத்திலிருந்து நீரும் வந்தது
நீரிலிருந்து உயிரு வந்தது
உயிரிலிருந்து கொரங்கு வந்தது
கொரங்கிளிருந்து மனுஷன் பொறந்து
மனுஷன் பொறந்து சொந்தம் வந்துது
சொந்தம் பொறந்து சண்டை வந்துது
சண்டை வந்ததும் காயம் வந்தது
காயம் வந்ததும் கவலை வந்துது
கவலை வந்ததும் போதை வந்தது
போதை வந்ததும் புத்தி மாறுதடா......
Hey, in the primordial days, the sky came.
Opening the sky, the wind came.
From the wind, water came.
From water, life emerged.
From life, the monkey came.
From the monkey, man was born.
Once man was born, relationships came.
Once relationships were born, fights came.
When fights came, injuries came.
When injuries came, worries came.
When worries came, intoxication came.
When intoxication comes, wisdom changes, my friend!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a high-energy folk item number set in a rustic Tamil Nadu tavern atmosphere. It celebrates revelry, alcohol, physical attraction, and living in the moment. The lyricist Vairamuthu weaves playful metaphors comparing women to geographical landscapes and human life to an evolutionary chain where liquor becomes the ultimate refuge from human conflict.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Antiphora / Evolutionary Anaphora
“Hei aadhi naalil vaanam vandhadhu...”
Lines 40 to 51 build an interconnected chain of cause and effect tracing cosmic creation (sky, wind, water) to evolution (monkey, man), social structure (relationships, fights), pain, and ultimately intoxication.
Metaphor
“Kanni ponnum Indha boomiyum onnu thaanunga”
Compares a woman's body contours to geographical terrain ('Maedu pallam' - hills and valleys).
Emona / Rhyme (Ethukai)
“Maelu valichaa konjam patta thanni oothikka”
Use of second-letter rhyming across lines, e.g., 'Maelu' / 'Boadhai' / 'Sila' / 'Ponna'.
