Eththanaiyo pei irukku naattukkullae

Eththanaiyo pei irukku naattukkullae
Nee ennaiyaadaa veratta vanthae veettukkullae

There are so many ghosts out in this country,
did you really come inside this house to chase me away?
There are so many ghosts out in this country,
did you really come inside this house to chase me away?
Those who die turn into ghosts, hey man!
One hangs from a rope, yes,
another drinks poison,
and someone takes sleeping pills
and swallows them way beyond the limit!
People who die like this turn into ghosts, man,
while dishonest people run wild like ghosts in broad daylight!
Dishonest people run wild like ghosts in broad daylight!
There are so many ghosts out in this country,
did you really come inside this house to chase me away?
The ghosts of rich people are wicked, man,
they will never yield to the beats of your exorcist drum!
There are some demons hungry for high positions,
who even kick the very people who helped them!
The ghost of caste possesses people and drives them mad, oh my!
The ghost of caste possesses people and drives them mad,
lighting a blazing fire of hatred everywhere!
There are so many ghosts out in this country,
did you really come inside this house to chase me away?
The ghosts of rising prices keep climbing up!
Female: The price of rice—
Male: Is as high as an elephant!
Female: The price of lentils—
Male: Is galloping like a horse!
Female: Sesame oil?
Male: If that is not available,
Female: Peanut oil?
Male: If you cannot even catch sight of that...
The ghosts of rising prices keep climbing up,
changing their disguises all across the land!
The ghost of self-advertisement is everywhere,
cheaply plastered across every street wall!
Drunken ghosts jump and dance around,
laughing right in the face of the police baton!
There are ghosts drunk on authority,
raising and protecting gangs of conspirators!
There are so many ghosts out in this country,
did you really come inside this house to chase me away?
There is a ghost called corruption,
speeding along in style inside luxury cars!
There is a ghost called bribery tormenting everyone,
burying noble ideals under bundles of lakhs (hundred thousands)!
There are two freeloading ghosts taking shelter right here,
feed them well first, and only then try to subdue me!
There are two freeloading ghosts taking shelter right here,
feed them well first, and only then try to subdue me!
Oh no... Mother... Oh no... Mother...
