ஓடும் போது சீட்டா
பறக்கும் போது ஜெட்
ஜும்ஜுக்கு ஜிக்கு ஜும்

நீந்தும் போது ஷார்க்
கைய வைக்க ஷாக்
ஜும்ஜுக்கு ஜிக்கு ஜும்
A cheetah when running
A jet when flying
A shark when swimming
A shock if you touch him
குளத்துக்குள்ள பெரிய மீனு
கரைக்கு மேல தூண்டில்காரன்
சின்ன மீனு தப்பிக்குமா
இல்ல எப்பயும் போல் சிக்கிக்குமா
ஹே மாட்னா குலம்பா
இல்ல மீன் தொட்டியா
A big fish inside the pond
An angler above the shore
Will the little fish escape?
Or will it get caught as usual?
Hey, if caught, is it fish curry?
Or a fish bowl?
தோற்க்க போறது மம்மி டாடியா
ஜெயிக்க போறது மீன் குட்டியா
மம்மி ரொம்ப பாவம்
டாடி ரொம்ப பாவம்
Are mummy and daddy going to lose?
Is the little fish going to win?
Mummy is so pitiful
Daddy is so pitiful

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful track celebrates the sharp intelligence, speed, and cheekiness of a young child named Anbu. By comparing Anbu's agility to a cheetah, a jet, and a shark, the song emphasizes how quick-witted today's children are—even outsmarting smartphones. Through the extended metaphor of a clever little fish outmaneuvering an angler, the lyrics describe a fun power dynamic between clever kids and their well-meaning, exhausted parents who struggle to keep up with them.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor
“Oodum bothu cheetah”
Compares the child's speed and agility directly to a cheetah, a jet, and a shark without using explicit comparative conjunctions.
Anaphora / Repetition
“Anbu’s smart”
The phrase 'Anbu's smart' is repeated at the start of several stanzas to reinforce the central theme of the child's sharpness.
Allegory
“Kulathukulla periya meenu”
Uses the scenario of a little fish ('chinna meenu') outsmarting the fisherman/big fish to represent the child outwitting authority figures like parents.
Iyalbu Navitchi / Colloquial Rhyme
“Kaiya veikka shock”
Employs energetic conversational Tamil paired with rhythmically rhyming English words ('jet', 'shark', 'shock') typical of modern child-centric film tracks.

Trivia
