We dont give a damn damn

Damn damn…..

Say damn, damn,

We don't give a damn!

Be reborn anew this New Year,

Oh yeah, damn, damn!

Damn, damn, damn!

Hey, live life king-size!

Digi-digital Tamil girl, baby!

Slaying with fierce style, baby!

Coo-cooing karaoke songbird, baby!

Hola hola hola ho.. oh!

Rushing like a train on every track, baby!

A storm heading straight for its mark, baby!

A stunning white peacock, baby!

Hola hola hola ho.. oh!

Come on, my sweet parrot,

tear through the sky!

So what if it rains?

Just drench and bathe in it!

Come on, my graceful beauty,

hold my hand!

When we walk, it creates a storm,

yes it does, girl...

Say damn, damn,

We don't give a damn!

Hey, shall I let out a wild scream?

Say damn, damn,

Damn, damn, damn!

Shall I go swimming with the sharks?

Glittering silk sarees are totally fine,

Tiny little bikinis are totally fine too!

Brand-new vintage trends are totally fine,

Hola hola hola ho.. oh!

Classical music concerts are totally fine,

Wild and energetic folk songs are fine too!

Even Lady Gaga or Gaana Bala is totally fine,

Hola hola hola ho.. oh!

...

The first twenty years are lost in studying,

The next twenty years melt away in romance,

And obeying dad, it all ends in marriage!

Oh oh.. oh oh.. oh oh.. oh!

What's the point of gaining sense at sixty?

If you get diabetes at seventy, what can you even eat?

While your hands and body can still move, you should...

Oh oh.. oh oh.. oh oh.. oh!

If they tell us our clothes are too short,

If they say our waist is too broad,

If they tell us to cover our curves,

We don't, we don't give a, give a...

If Mom shows up on Facebook,

If Dad walks into the pub,

If some guy says "I love you"

and boldly stands right in front of us...

Say damn, damn,

We don't give a damn!

Be reborn anew this New Year,

Oh yeah, damn, damn!

Damn, damn, damn!

Hey, live life king-size!

Digi-digital Tamil girl, baby!

Slaying with fierce style, baby!

Coo-cooing karaoke songbird, baby!

Hola hola hola ho.. oh!

Rushing like a train on every track, baby!

A storm heading straight for its mark, baby!

A stunning white peacock, baby!

Hola hola hola ho.. oh!

Come on, my sweet parrot,

tear through the sky!

So what if it rains?

Just drench and bathe in it!

Come on, my graceful beauty,

hold my hand!

When we walk...

We don't give a damn, damn!

Damn, damn...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Damn Damn from Vanamagan (2017) is an energetic, high-octane youth anthem celebrating modern independence, self-expression, and a carefree attitude. Lyricist Madhan Karky paints a vivid picture of the modern Tamil woman—the 'Digital Tamilachi'—who embraces both traditional roots and modern lifestyles with confidence, seamlessly transitioning from wearing silk sarees to bikinis, and enjoying both classical concerts and pop/gaana tracks. The song serves as a reminder to live life to the fullest without being burdened by societal pressures or petty rules. Pointing out how quickly decades fly by in studies, romance, and familial expectations, the lyrics advocate enjoying youth while energy permits and adopting an unapologetic 'don't give a damn' mindset.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Iyaibu (End Rhyme)

“Digi digital tazmizhachi baby / Mira miratallu stylachi baby / Kukoo karaoke kuyilachi baby”

The usage of suffixing rhymes (-achi baby) creates a rhythmic, catchy cadence throughout the stanza.

Monai (Alliteration)

“Kukoo karaoke kuyilachi baby”

Repetition of the initial 'K' sound across words creates an auditory effect resembling bird calls.

Ethirai (Second-letter Rhyming / Assonance)

“Udai konjam kammi sonna / Idai konjam kooda sonna / Edai konjam mooda sonna”

The second letter 'da' (டை) rhymes across consecutive lines, creating a classic Tamil poetic rhythm.

Oxymoron

“Putham pudhu pudhu pazhamayum ok”

Juxtaposition of opposing concepts ('Putham pudhu' meaning brand new, and 'pazhamai' meaning ancient tradition).

Metaphor

“Vellai nirathula mayilachi baby”

Comparing a vibrant modern woman to a rare white peacock.
