{ நானி என் பேரு
நான் குட்டி ஈ தான் பாரு
அணு குண்டு போடும்
வண்டு நானு தொடங்கிடுச்சு
போரு } (2)
Naani is my name,
Look, I am a small housefly!
I am a beetle that drops atomic bombs,
The war has begun!
உன் கோட்டைக்குள்ள
வாறேன் உன்னை
வேட்டையாடப் போறேன்
உன் கண்ணுக்குள்ள கைய
விட்டு ஆட்டிப்பாக்க போறேன்
Hey housefly, hey fly, hey fly!
Is that fire in both your eyes?
Is hell your home?
Come on, I will transform it!
{ ஈ டா ஈ டா ஈ டா
கண்ணு ரெண்டில் தீடா
நரகம் உந்தன் வீடா
மாத்திடுவேன் வா டா } (2)
What does a spark do,
If left inside a forest?
Doesn't it burn everything down
And turn it to ashes?
பொறி என்ன
செய்யும் காட்டுக்குள்ள
விட்டா ஒட்டுமொத்தம்
சுட்டெரிச்சு சாம்பலாக்கிடாதா
Isn’t the universe an atom
Before the big bang?
துளி என்ன செய்யும்
தொண்டைக்குள்ள விட்டா
மண்டைக்குள்ள நஞ்ச ஏத்தி
உன்னை சாய்ச்சிடாதா
He looked down on me saying 'Eww, a fly',
He counted me as just an insect,
That's exactly where he lost!
I am the demon who has arrived
To inject poison into his breath!
.............................
Hey housefly, hey fly, hey fly!
Is that fire in both your eyes?
Is hell your home?
Come on, I will transform it!
ஈன்னு என்ன
பாத்தான் என்ன பூச்சியில
சேத்தான் அங்க தான அவன்
தோத்தான் நான் மூச்சுக்குள்ள
நச்சு பாய்ச்ச வந்திருக்கும் சாத்தான்
For me to accomplish immediately,
There are ten things waiting.
To-do... to-do... to-do to-do...
One: I want to kill you,
Two: I want to kill you,
Three: I want to kill you,
Four: I want to kill you,
Five: I want to kill you,
Six: I want to kill you,
Seven: I want to kill you,
Eight: I want to kill you,
Nine: I want to kill you,
Ten: Making you scream and plead,
Tremble and panic,
Chopping and scattering you into pieces, I want to kill you!
{ ஈ டா ஈ டா ஈ டா
கண்ணு ரெண்டில் தீடா
நரகம் உந்தன் வீடா
மாத்திடுவேன் வா டா } (2)
Wings, wings, wings...
Can you hear the rhythm of my two wings?
Is the wail of death near your ears
Peeking through?
Even the fly's leg
Will turn into a spear!
Only after I kill and finish you off,
My killer rage will be quenched!
நான் உடனடியா
செஞ்சு முடிக்க பத்து
விஷயம் கிடக்குது
டுடூ டுடூ டுடூ டுடூ
ஒன் உன்ன கொல்லனும்
டூ உன்ன கொல்லனும்
த்ரீ உன்ன கொல்லனும்
ஃபோா் உன்ன கொல்லனும்
பைவ் உன்ன கொல்லனும்
சிக்ஸ் உன்ன கொல்லனும்
செவன் உன்ன கொல்லனும்
எயிட் உன்ன கொல்லனும்
நைன் உன்ன கொல்லனும்
டென் உன்ன கதற கதற
பதற பதற சிதற சிதற சிதற
சிதற வெட்டி வெட்டி வெட்டி
கொல்லனும்
Having died, survived, and looked at Yama,
I am Naani who laughed at him!
To swarm over ghee,
Am I just a fly? No!
To pierce a thorn into your heart,
I am the trouble that came as a ghost!
A villain incarnated to kill you within your own domain!
ரெக்க ரெக்க
ரெக்க ரெக்க ரெண்டின்
ராகம் கேக்குதா உன்
செவியோரம் மரண ஓலம்
எட்டிப் பாக்குதா ஈயோட
காலு கூட ஈட்டி போல மாறும்
உன கொன்னு தீத்த பின்ன தான்
என் கொலவெறியும் தீரும்
Hey housefly, hey fly, hey fly!
Is that fire in both your eyes?
Is hell your home?
Come on, I will transform it!
செத்துப் பொழச்சு
எமன பாத்து சிரிச்சவன்
நானி நெய்யு மேல
மொய்க்க ஈயா நானு
இல்ல உன் நெஞ்சில்
முள்ள தைக்க பேயா
வந்த தொல்ல உன்
எல்லைக்குள்ள உன்ன
கொல்ல அவதரிச்ச வில்லன்
{ ஈ டா ஈ டா ஈ டா
கண்ணு ரெண்டில் தீடா
நரகம் உந்தன் வீடா
மாத்திடுவேன் வா டா } (2)

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic battle song from 'Naan Ee' serves as a warning from the protagonist Naani, who has been murdered and reincarnated as a housefly to exact revenge on his killer. Despite his minuscule size, Naani asserts his deadly determination, comparing himself to a forest spark, an atom before the Big Bang, and a vengeful spirit reincarnated to ruin the antagonist's life.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Hyperbole / Metaphor
“Anugundu podum vandu naanu”
Comparing a tiny housefly's power to an atomic bomb and a small leg to a sharp spear emphasizes his vengeance.
Anaphora / Repetition
“One unna kollanum ... Nine unna kollanum”
Repetition of the phrase 'unna kollanum' (want to kill you) through a numbered list emphasizes the fly's obsessive singular purpose.
Emonai (Second letter / Initial rhyming)
“Eennu enna paathaan / Enna poochiyila sethaan”
Tamil poetic rhyming and alliteration scheme across consecutive lines.

Trivia
'Naan Ee' is the Tamil dubbed version of S. S. Rajamouli's fantasy action blockbuster 'Eega'. Composed by M. M. Keeravani with Tamil lyrics by Madhan Karky, the song cleverly incorporates a comedic yet intense 10-step 'To-Do list' in English and Tamil.
