Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
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.

Poetic devices
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Enna ninaiththu ennai azhaiththaayo / Yaenintha kolaththai koduththaayo”
The lines end with matching rhyming suffixes '-aayo' (azhaiththaayo, koduththaayo, mudiththaayo, thudiththaayo), establishing a rhythmic, poetic cadence.
Rhetorical Questioning
“Inimel kadhai ezhutha viduveno / Un ezhuththai pirar padikka tharuveno”
The speaker asks challenging questions ending in '-eno' ('will I allow it?'), heightening the dramatic tension without expecting a true reply.
Ethugai (Second-letter Harmony)
“Inimel kadhai ezhutha viduveno / Un ezhuththai pirar padikka tharuveno”
The second letter consonant 'n' harmonizes between 'Inimel' and 'Un'.
