If you can get a girl,

Tell a lie without hesitation.

Take a bypass route

And forge ahead on your way.

If there is a new girl every day,

Life itself will be happy.

Try falling in love four times,

You won't get high blood pressure.

If you can get a girl,

Tell a lie without hesitation.

Take a bypass route

And forge ahead on your way.

Nothing is wrong at all,

No one is perfectly right.

This guy has no fear,

If fear enters, there is no victory.

Justice, honesty, and fairness,

None of that is needed, my friend!

Buddy, buddy,

In a street full of toothless men,

Don't try to sell toothpicks.

Among those who reach the top, many

Are rotten to the core inside.

Even if they are Ravana,

They wear the disguise of Rama.

If you can get a girl,

Tell a lie without hesitation.

Take a bypass route

And forge ahead on your way.

Nothing is wrong at all,

No one is perfectly right.

This guy has no fear,

If fear enters, there is no victory.

Justice, honesty, and fairness,

None of that is needed, my friend!

Buddy, buddy,

In a street full of toothless men,

Don't try to sell toothpicks.

Among those who reach the top, many

Are rotten to the core inside.

Even if they are Ravana,

They wear the disguise of Rama.

...

If I see a beautiful girl, I'll smile,

If I see an older lady, I'll admire her.

If I get a cigarette, I'll smoke it,

I'll even smoke a leftover stub of a beedi.

Searching and searching,

Ah, a deer hunt,

I will conduct, I will conduct!

Forgetting food and sleep,

Until she says yes,

I will keep chasing her.

This continues every single day.

Before your mustache turns white,

Fulfill all your desires.

Saying there is salvation up above

Is just a nuisance spread by elders.

With a deflated inner tube,

There is no journey left at all.

A soap that has dissolved away

Is of no use anymore.

...

Like ordering coffee or tea, to a girl

I will say, 'Give me your love!'

In the morning, I'll admire Sheela,

In the evening, I'll relish Maala.

I don't want just a single flower,

Why shouldn't I own a whole garden of flowers?

I don't want just a drop of honey,

Why shouldn't I break open a whole beehive for myself?

This is a brand new experience,

All the bad paths there are,

I learned them one by one.

Living as a bad guy,

I have made that my ultimate ambition.

When the town calls you a scoundrel

And scolds you, don't pay attention.

Shut both your ears tight, shut them tight.

All that happened until now,

I realized was a mistake.

For the times yet to come,

Grant me a boon so they turn out sweet.

O beautiful flower, for your sake,

I will even give up my life.

Even if I am buried deep in the earth,

I will remain alive in your thoughts.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song portrays a unabashedly carefree, cynical, and hedonistic lifestyle driven by practical cunning rather than traditional morality. The protagonist encourages taking shortcuts in life, pursuing multiple romantic flings, lying without remorse to get ahead, and disregarding conventional societal expectations regarding righteousness and piety. He argues that high-placed hypocrites pretend to be virtuous while harboring corrupt motives, so one should enjoy life's pleasures freely before growing old. Towards the end, however, the tone shifts abruptly from casual rogueism to romantic self-awareness and redemption. The singer acknowledges his past misdeeds, expressing a desire to turn over a new leaf for the sake of true love, promising absolute devotion and loyalty to his beloved.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Muran (Antithesis / Contrast)

“Raavananaa irundhaalum Raaman vesham”

Presents a direct philosophical contrast between Ravana (symbol of evil) and Rama (symbol of virtue) to highlight societal hypocrisy.

Metaphor

“Bypass-u route-u pottu Munneri nee sel”

Compares taking unethical shortcuts in life to taking a 'bypass route' to reach a destination faster.

Iyaipu (End Rhyme)

“Azhaghi paarthaalum sirippen / Aunty paarthaalum rasippen / Cigarette kedaichaalum adippen / Thundu beediyum kudippen”

The deliberate end-rhyming structure (-ppen) across consecutive lines creates a playful rhythm.

Simile

“Coffee tea pola figure-ai Kaadhal tha endru keppen”

Compares asking for love casually to ordering daily beverages like coffee or tea.

Trivia

This song belongs to the 2011 Tamil action-thriller 'Singam Puli', directed by Sai Ramani. The film features actor Jiiva in his first dual role—playing both an honest commercial vehicle inspector (Shiva) and a corrupt, womanizing rogue (Ashok). The music for the film was composed by Mani Sharma. This track specifically serves as a character-defining intro theme highlighting the shameless, playboy persona of the antagonist brother Ashok.
