சும்மா இருந்த சங்க
இவனே ஊதி தட்டிவுட்டான்
டேய் ஒரே கல்லுள்ள
ரெண்டு மாங்க அடிக்க பாத்தான்
கல்லு மிஸ் ஆகி
குறி மாறி வழி மாறி
தடம் மாறி
Got stuck with a girl
Ruining his own reputation completely
He himself blew his own whistle
Hey, with a single stone
He tried to hit two mangoes
The stone missed
Target changed, path changed
Track changed
நாலு பீரு மேல போனா
மாமா அந்தமாரி
எந்த மாரி மொள்ளமாரி

Singing tunes in the alley
Oh dear, why so much trouble?

Wearing a cursed undershirt
Making me run and run

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Capmaari' is a fast-paced, humorous, and satirical track centered around a cunning trickster or playboy character (referred to as 'Capmaari'). The lyrics express frustration and comedic rage at his double-dealing romantic antics—trying to juggle two women at once like trying to hit two mangoes with a single stone, only for his plans to backfire hilariously. The women and chorus call out his lies, cheap tricks, and shapeshifting nature, jokingly calling for him to be beaten up, chased away, or handed over to the police.
Writing craft
Poetic devices

Simile / Analogy
“Tyre-ukku adiyila / Sikkuna lemon-ah / Maari pochu maama life-u”
