சொன்னபடி
சொன்னபடி நடந்து
காட்டுவோம் மத்தபடி
தவறு செஞ்சா பொளந்து
கட்டுவோம்
We will act according to our word and prove it
Otherwise, if anyone does wrong, we will split them apart
யாரை பாா்த்தும்
பயந்ததில்லை உடம்பு
முழுக்க வீரம் கதவ
தொறந்து போட்டு
போவோம் திருட
இல்லை ஏதும்
We have never feared looking at anyone
Bravery flows throughout our body
We leave our doors wide open when we go
Because there is nothing here for a thief to steal
குடிசை சிறுசுதான்
எங்க மனசோ பெருசுதான்
ஏய் சட்டப்படி பாா்த்தா நான்
குற்றவாளி தான்டா ஏய்
நியாயப்படி பாா்த்தா நான்
சுத்த தங்கம் தான்டா
எப்பவும் நேர்மைக்காக
உசுர கூட விடுற சாதிடா
Our huts may be small
But our hearts are truly big
Hey, according to the law
I might be a criminal
Hey, according to justice
I am pure gold!
We belong to a clan that, for honesty
Will even lay down our lives!

Hey... hey... hey...
கெட்ட எண்ணம்
கிட்ட வந்தா வெரட்டி
அடிக்கணும் பட்டப்பகல்
நேரம் கூட வெயிலில்
உழைக்கிறோம்
ஊருக்கொண்ணு ஆச்சுதுன்னா
மாசி வந்து பாா்ப்பான்
மாசிக்கொண்ணு ஆச்சுதுன்னா
ஊரில் எவனும் கேப்பான்
If an evil thought comes near us
We must chase and strike it down
Even during broad daylight
We labor hard under the hot sun
If anything happens to the town
Maasi will come and look after it
If anything happens to Maasi
Anyone in this town will stand up and question it
காத்தும்
நுழையனுன்னா எங்க
அனுமதி கேட்டு நிக்கும்
ஏய் மஞ்சுளாக்கா சோப்பு
போட்டு குளிச்சிப்புட்டா
போதும் ஏய் மந்திரிச்ச
கோழியாக ஊரே கண்டு
ஏங்கும் எங்களோட
வாழ்க்கையில காதல்
மோதல் எல்லாம் உண்டுடா
Even for the wind to enter here
It has to stand and ask for our permission
Hey, if sister Manjula applies soap
And takes a bath, that is enough
Like mesmerized chickens
The whole town yearns watching her
In our daily life
There is love, conflict, and everything!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song is an energetic street-style hero introduction track from the film 'Maasilamani'. It celebrates the solidarity, courage, and righteous spirit of the protagonist Maasi and his tight-knit local neighborhood community. Through vibrant folk rhythms and playful urban slang, the lyrics depict a proud slum community that lives honestly, works hard, and fiercely protects one another from external threats.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Simile (Uvamai Ani)
“Paani poori pola / Ada edhiri kannu udaiyum”
Compares the fragile cracking of an enemy's eye under attack to the easy crushing of a hollow 'pani puri'.
Antithesis / Contrast (Muran)
“Kudisai sirusudhaan / Engha manaso perusudhaan”
Contrasts the physical smallness of their humble huts ('kudisai sirusudhaan') with the vastness and generosity of their hearts ('manaso perusudhaan').
Hyperbole (Uyirvunavarchu Ani)
“Kaathum nuzhaiyanunnaa / Engha anumadhi kettu nikkum”
An exaggeration claiming that even the wind must wait and seek permission before entering their territory, highlighting their absolute local authority.
