என்ன நினைத்து என்னை அழைத்தாயோ
ஏனிந்த கோலத்தைக் கொடுத்தாயோ
மர்மக் கதை எழுதி முடித்தாயோ
வாழ்வைத் தீர்த்துக் கொள்ளத் துடித்தாயோ
With what thoughts in mind did you summon me?
Why did you put me in this state?
Did you finish writing a mystery story?
Were you desperate to end your life?
என்ன நினைத்து என்னை அழைத்தாயோ
ஏனிந்த கோலத்தைக் கொடுத்தாயோ

Were you desperate to end your life?
கோயில்பட்டிக் கொலையை
உரைத்தாயோ
அதை கோட்டூர் என்றே திருத்த மறந்தாயோ
கோயில்பட்டிக் கொலையை உரைத்தாயோ
அதை கோட்டூர் என்றே திருத்த மறந்தாயோ
வாசல் வழியில் ஒரு மீசை மனிதன் வந்து
வாவென அழைத்ததைக் கேட்டாயோ....
The murder at Kovilpatti,
Did you mention it and forget to correct it as Kottur?
The murder at Kovilpatti,

உன்னை முடித்து வைக்க
எண்ணும் தலைவனிடம்
உன்னையே நான் தர மறுப்பேனோ......
To finish you off,
To the boss who intends to do so,
Will I refuse to hand you over?
என்ன நினைத்து என்னை அழைத்தாயோ
ஏனிந்த கோலத்தைக் கொடுத்தாயோ
மர்மக் கதை எழுதி முடித்தாயோ

Song interpretation
This suspense-laden track from the 1967 film Anubavam Puthumai features a dramatic narrative context revolving around crime, mystery writing, and looming vengeance. The character questions a writer or accomplice about writing murder plots, confusing crime locations like Kovilpatti and Kottur, and dealing with dangerous underworld figures. The tone is menacing yet dramatic, building up to a climax where the speaker threatens to deliver the target directly to a boss seeking to finish them off.
