நாய்க்கு பெட்ரூம் தலகாணி யா
அட ஆடு மட்டும் நைட்டு பிரியாணியா
நாய்க்கு பெட்ரூம் தலகாணி யா
அட ஆடு மட்டும் நைட்டு பிரியாணியா
Does a dog get a bedroom and a pillow?
While a goat is turned into late-night biryani?
Does a dog get a bedroom and a pillow?
While a goat is turned into late-night biryani?
செல்ல குட்டி பேபி பப்பி மா
நாய நீயும் தான் கொஞ்சுற
கொஞ்சம் பாக்கி ஏதும் வெக்காம
மட்டன் கீமா மட்டும் தின்னுற
Calling it 'darling cutie baby puppy',
You cuddle and pamper the dog.
Without leaving behind even a little bit,
You gobble up only mutton keema!
செல்ல குட்டி பேபி பப்பி மா
நாய நீயும் தான் கொஞ்சுற
கொஞ்சம் பாக்கி ஏதும் வெக்காம
ஏன்டா மட்டன் கீமா மட்டும் தின்னுற
Calling it 'darling cutie baby puppy',
You cuddle and pamper the dog.
Without leaving behind even a little bit,
Hey man, why do you eat up all that mutton keema?
ரோட்டுல வீட்டுல காட்டுல வாழுற
அதானா ஆடும் மட்டன் குருமா
உன்னோட வீட்டு நாய டாக் னு
சொன்னா உனக்கு கோவம் வருமா
Living on the roads, in houses, and in forests,
Are all those goats just mutton kurma to you?
If someone calls your pet dog just a 'dog',
Do you get angry at them?
குட் நாய் பேட் ஆடு

டாமி ஜெஸ்சி டைகர் னு
நாய்க்கு பல பேரா வெச்சா
நாய் வந்து கேக்கல ஆனா
ஆட்ட அதுக்கு சோறா வெச்சா....
Naming them Tommy, Jessie, Tiger,
You give dogs so many names.
The dog didn't come and ask for it, but still,
You put food in a dish for it...
கேரட்டையும் வெட்டலாம் வெட்டலாம்
கத்திரிக்காய வெட்டலாம் வெட்டலாம்
வெண்டக்காய வெட்டாதேன்னு
சொன்னா அவன செஞ்சிரும் ஊரு
You can chop a carrot, chop it,
You can chop an eggplant, chop it,
If someone says 'don't chop okra',
The whole town will tear him apart!
ஆடு அத வெட்டலாம் வெட்டலாம்
ஆட்டுக்குட்டி அதையும் வெட்டலாம்
நாயி மேல கைய வெச்சா
டென்சன் ஆற பிரியாணி கா பச்சா
You can slaughter a goat, slaughter it,
You can even slaughter a little kid (goat),
But if anyone lays a hand on a dog,
The biryani lover gets super angry!
கொஞ்சம் வட்டி அத கட்டாம
பேங்கு சொன்ன பேச்ச தட்டாம
கொத்து கொத்தா இங்க சாகுற
விவசாயிங்க தா ஆடுகளா
Failing to pay even a tiny bit of interest,
Obeying the bank's relentless demands,
Dying in huge numbers here—
Are farmers just goats to you?
கோடி வட்டி அத கட்டாம
தேடினாலும் கையில் கிட்டாம
கொழு கொழுன்னு மின்னுற
சில பணக்காரங்கதான் நாயுங்களா
Failing to show crores in interest,
Untraceable even if searched for,
Plump and shining bright—
Are those wealthy corrupt elite the real dogs?
ரோட்டுல வீட்டுல காட்டுல வாழுற
அதானா ஆடும் மட்டன் குருமா
உன்னோட வீட்டு நாய டாக் னு
சொன்னா உனக்கு கோவம் வருமா
Living on the roads, in houses, and in forests,
Are all those goats just mutton kurma to you?
If someone calls your pet dog just a 'dog',
Do you get angry at them?
குட் நாய் பேட் ஆடு

Good dog, bad goat!
Good dog, bad goat!
Good dog, bad goat!
Good dog, bad goat!
நாய்க்கு நன்றி இருக்கு னா
ஆடு என்ன எட்டப்பா வா
முன்ன போனா முதுகுல குத்த
ஆடு என்ன கட்டப்பா வா
If you say a dog possesses loyalty,
Is a goat a traitor like Ettappan?
To stab you in the back when you turn around,
Is a goat a traitor like Kattappa?
லிட்டில் லார்ட் பார்க்லே
நாய்க்கு பைவ் ஸ்டார் ஹோட்டல்
ட்வென்ட்டிபோர் மட்டன் ஐட்டெம்ஸ் னு
ஸ்டார் பிரியாணி ஹோட்டல் ....
Little Lord Barkley,
A 5-star hotel treatment for a dog!
With 24 mutton items on the menu,
A star biryani hotel...
பாம்பின் நிறம் பாலின் நிறம்
பூனை குட்டி ஒன்னு டா
பாசத்தோடு பார்க்கும் கண்ணில்
ஆடும் நாயும் ஒன்னு டா
ஆட்ட தின்னு நாய கொஞ்சும்
சோ கால்டு அனிமல் லவ்வர்ஸ் அ
கேள்வி கேட்டு கேலி செய்ய
எம்கேபி தான் எங்கடா ........
Whether the color of a snake or the color of milk,
A kitten is just a sweet little kitten, man.
Through eyes that look with pure affection,
A goat and a dog are both equal, man!
Eating goats while cuddling dogs—
To question and mock these so-called animal lovers,
Where is MKB? Right here, man!
MKB is here...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This satirical song by MK Balaji critiques the hypocrisy of 'so-called animal lovers' and society at large. It points out the double standards in human empathy: pampering dogs lavishly with bedrooms, pillows, and 5-star treatment while casually slaughtering and eating goats as biryani and keema. The lyricist highlights the absurdity of showering affection on one species while treating another merely as food.
