Yeah, yeah
Mm, mm
Mm, mm
Mm, mm
Ah, leave God out of this,
keep your distance and stand apart!
It won't spread to God,
but tell the devotees to stay safe!
A fort of fools,
a herd of wild elephants,
and for the sensible youth,
there's only a craving for alcohol!
What are thoughts revolving around?
Thoughts keep turning to that...
My thoughts revolve around you,
come to me.
Holding those cheeks close,
my forehead against your cheek,
before I could even blink,
why did you disappear?
If I fall in love with you...
Male: Bad dreams and nightmares.
Male: If it is desire...
Male: Fight me, I won't fight back.
Male: There's no need,
Male: I don't like fights like that.
I gave you my heart,
but all you give me back is...
Dark thoughts.
My whole heart is full of dark thoughts,
my whole heart is full of dark thoughts,
with a soft spot in my eyes for you.
In my dreams, it's always you,
in my dreams, it's always you,
who am I to you in your dreams?
Who am I to you in your dreams?
My whole heart is full of dark thoughts,
my whole heart is full of dark thoughts,
with a soft spot in my eyes for you.
In my dreams, it's always you,
in my dreams, it's always you,
who am I to you in your dreams?
All I've got in my heart
is the love that I've got for you,
that I've got for you.
Forever, I will never be tired of being
the dark horse for you.
Hey... mm... yeah.
Don't go outside the house,
lock the gate!
"Do you want my eyes?"
I asked just like Kamal Haasan!
On TikTok,
I tried every look and posted videos.
Because they locked me inside,
my mischief went out of hand.
No, it ain't funny,
but we've got no money.
2020 hasn't even crossed the halfway mark,
and bad luck has already caught up!
That's what he told me,
homies on Zoom calls,
daily Houseparty app,
but I'm completely all alone, man!
All the apps got shut down,
"Computers will save us,"
said my buddy,
and he lost his job in the US!
Hard times in software,
and on top of that, hair fall!
Amidst the virus, a war is coming, they say...
I'm gonna call Painter Gopalu!
If you step out, it's a quarantine ward,
and we are running around searching for sanitizer.
What can we even do?
We only live once,
so as long as we are here,
let's have fun until our time comes!
If I fall in love with you...
Male: Bad dreams and nightmares.
Male: If it is desire...
Male: Fight me, I won't fight back.
Male: There's no need,
Male: I don't like fights like that.
I gave you my heart,
but all you give me back is...
Dark thoughts.
My whole heart is full of dark thoughts,
my whole heart is full of dark thoughts,
with a soft spot in my eyes for you.
In my dreams, it's always you,
in my dreams, it's always you,
who am I to you in your dreams?
Who am I to you in your dreams?
My whole heart is full of dark thoughts,
my whole heart is full of dark thoughts,
with a soft spot in my eyes for you.
In my dreams, it's always you,
in my dreams, it's always you,
who am I to you in your dreams?
Ah, thinking of doing something,
if I quickly get up and go,
someone will always say something:
"Don't do anything!"
Something inside of me
whispers something negative,
and just as I go to do it,
I end up postponing the work!
Criticizing and finding fault,
pulling down anyone who rises up,
a deadly poison,
a kind of lizard that kills my spirit.
Where it lives is the internet!
My rhymes are fresh left, right, and center.
I've got to get this off my chest:
Don't stop until you win, take no rest!
Don't try to impress anyone,
don't get depressed deep inside.
Compress all your struggles,
there's no need for stress anymore.
Your mama said to me,
"There's no future in this rap scene."
Now I'll be laughing,
while all my kids are rapping!
All I've got in my heart
is the love that I've got for you.
Forever, I will never be tired of being
the dark horse for you.
My whole heart is full of dark thoughts,
my whole heart is full of dark thoughts,
with a soft spot in my eyes for you.
In my dreams, it's always you,
in my dreams, it's always you,
who am I to you in your dreams?
Who am I to you in your dreams?
My whole heart is full of dark thoughts,
my whole heart is full of dark thoughts,
with a soft spot in my eyes for you.
In my dreams, it's always you,
in my dreams, it's always you,
who am I to you in your dreams?

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
'Naa Oru Alien' by Hiphop Tamizha is a reflective hip-hop track capturing the frustration, anxiety, and social shifts during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown. It blends themes of romantic turmoil with broader societal observations—ranging from social distancing, Zoom calls, and IT job losses to internet criticism and mental health struggles like depression and negative self-talk. Through urban slang and relatable pop-culture references, the song presents a youth's perspective on feeling disconnected like an 'alien' in an unpredictable world while urging perseverance, self-belief, and staying positive despite dark thoughts.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Edhugai (Monothongal / Second-letter Rhyme)
“Madaiyargal kottai / Madhayaanai koottam”
The second consonant 'da' matches across adjacent lines, creating a classic Tamil rhythmic flow.
Monaai (Alliteration)
“Madhi konda ilaiganarukko / Madhu meedhu naattam”
Repetition of the initial letter 'Ma' across the line creates phonetic harmony.
Metaphor
“Uyir kolli uyir kolli / En unarvai kollum oru vagai balli”
Comparing internet trolls or toxic self-talk to a life-killing lizard ('uyir kolli balli') that consumes human emotions.
Code-mixing / Tanglish
“Nenjam ellam dark thoughts / Kannukkulla soft spot for you”
Blending Tamil vocabulary with English urban phrasing to reflect contemporary youth language.
