அப்பன்கிட்ட கேட்டுகிட்டா
அவ என்ன காதலிச்சா
கேட்டு சொல்லுடா
ஆத்தாகிட்ட சொல்லிட்டுதான்
என்னோட சுத்துனாலா
கேட்டு சொல்லுடா
Did she ask her father
Before falling in love with me?
Ask her and tell me, man.
Only after telling her mother
Did she roam around with me?
Ask her and tell me, man.
அடங்காத சிறுக்கி
அவ என் நெஞ்ச நொறுக்கி
என்ன குப்பையில போட்டுபுட்டாட
ஆம்பள பொருக்கி
என் காதல நொறுக்கி
அவ நல்லவ போல் நடிச்சிபுட்டாடா
An untamed girl,
She crushed my heart,
And dumped me in the trash, man.
Calling me a male scoundrel,
Crushing my love,
She acted like a good person, man.
அப்பன்கிட்ட கேட்டுகிட்டா

தூக்கு போட்டு நாம
செத்தாலும் சாக.....
Even if we put a noose
And die...
தூக்கு போட்டு நாம
செத்தாலும் சாகலாம்
பொண்ணுக வேணாடா
சீட்டு கட்டு போல ஜோடி மாறும்
பொண்ணுக்கு பேருதான் வேறுடா
Even if we put a noose
And die, we can die,
But we don't want women, man.
Like a deck of cards
To a woman who changes partners,
Only the name is different, man.
பொனம் தின்னும் கழுகாட்டம்
பணம் தின்னும் பெண் கூட்டம்
அப்பாவி ஆண் கூட்டம்
இனியேனும் வாழட்டும்
கவலைன்னு ஏமாத்துற
பொண்ணுங்கள போட்டு தள்ளுடா
Like a flock of vultures eating corpses,
A group of women devouring money.
Let the group of innocent men
At least live from now on.
Deceiving under the guise of care,
Knock those women down, man.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses the bitterness and frustration of a heartbroken man who feels betrayed by his lover. He rhetorically asks if she sought her parents' permission before falling in love or roaming around with him, highlighting her hypocrisy when she eventually dumped him and framed him as a bad person while pretending to be innocent herself.
