Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
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.

Poetic devices
Simile (Upamāna)
“Seettu kattu pola”
Compares women who frequently switch partners to a deck of cards being shuffled.
Imagery / Metaphor
“Ponamthinnum kazhukaattam / Panam thinnum penn koottam”
Compares money-minded women to vultures feeding on corpses to depict greed and emotional destruction.
Etukai (Second letter rhyme)
“Ponamthinnum kazhukaattam / Panam thinnum penn koottam”
The second consonant 'na' (ன) matches across 'Ponam' and 'Panam', creating a rhythmic Tamil poetic structure.
Iyaibu (End rhyme)
“Adangaatha sirukki / Ava en nenja norukki”
Rhyming endings 'sirukki' and 'norukki' add emphasis and cadence to the emotional outburst.
