Who is she, who is she that gave birth to you?
If I get my hands on her, she is dead!
Who is she, who is she that gave birth to you?
If I get my hands on her, she is dead!
Beat him!
Kick him!
Slash him!
We don't need him at all!
Beat him!
Kick him!
Slash him!
We don't need him at all!
Who is she, who is she that gave birth to you?
Chorus: Gave birth, gave birth!
Female: If I get my hands on her, she is dead!
Hey, come on out!
You need us for your pocket money!
You need us to sneak a kiss!
To brag proudly that you have a girlfriend,
Chorus: you need us!
Why do you love me on Sunday?
Why do you love me on Monday?
Why do you love me on Tuesday?
Why do you love me on Friday?
Even while I am standing right next to you,
you hit on my friend, you dog!
Preaching about "culture" to me,
you give me lectures!
You walking curse!
Wanting to dominate and control,
you donkeys!
To dance to your every word,
Chorus: are we monkeys?
Female: Bullshit!
Beat him!
Kick him!
Slash him!
We don't need him at all!
Beat him!
Kick him!
Slash him!
We don't need him at all!
Who is she, who is she that gave birth to you?
If I get my hands on her, she is dead... ah...
...
Smoking and drinking all the time,
you will only end up ruined!
Trying to fix you again and again,
should I ruin my own life?
Do you love me for my hair bun?
Do you love me for my head?
Do you love me just to fight?
Do you love me for my voice?
Making excuses about a heartbreak,
you guys throw acid!
Why do you talk shamelessly to us
about your so-called killer rage?
If you leave me and walk away,
it is not my loss!
For that dull face of yours,
do you think girls in this town are waiting around?
Get lost!
Beat him!
Kick him!
Slash him!
We don't need him at all!
Live well, dude!
Live well, dude!
Wherever you may be,
may you live well, dude!
Dedication...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song is a satirical flip on Tamil cinema's popular 'soup song' (male-heartbreak/female-bashing) trope. Sung from an empowered female perspective with extreme exaggeration, it confronts toxic male behavior in relationships, highlighting issues like financial dependence, infidelity, hypocritical lectures on culture, and violent reactions to rejection like acid attacks.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Parody / Satire

Evada evada unna petha petha

Subverts classic Tamil breakup tracks (such as 'Evandi Unna Pethan') by reversing the gender roles and mocking male clichés.

Adukkuthodar (Repetition)

Petha petha / Setha setha

Words are repeated consecutively for emphasis and rhythmic drive.

Metaphor / Zoomorphism

Donkey neenga / Monke-ah naanga

Compares controlling men to 'donkeys' and rejects being treated like performing 'monkeys'.

Monorhyme / Parallelism

Enna sundaykku love pandra / Enna mondaykku love pandra

Uses repetitive grammatical phrasing with days of the week to emphasize meaningless relationship patterns.

Did you know?

Trivia

The track serves as a direct spoof of male-centric grief/rage anthems in Tamil cinema like Simbu's 'Evandi Unna Pethan' and Dhanush's 'Why This Kolaveri Di'. Lyricist-director C. S. Amudhan specifically crafted it to parody toxic romance tropes prevalent in modern Kollywood.
