| Kaalu onja kaakkaa pola nondura | You limp around like a crow with a broken leg |
| Vavaala pola thalakeezha thongura | You hang upside down like a bat |
| Pottiyila paamba pol neliyura | You wriggle like a snake trapped inside a box |
| Mandhiricha kozhi pola melagera parakura | You fly high around like a bewitched chicken |
| Male | |
| Wrong-u route pottu mattikina | Taking the wrong route, you got trapped |
| Top-pu keenja auto pola suthinukeera | You wander around like an auto rickshaw with a torn hood |
| Vaai udhar vuttu | Blabbering boastfully with your mouth |
| Kaadhu goiyyu doiynu | Making ears ring with a 'goiyyu doiynu' sound |
| Jivvunu dhaan keedhu | Leaving a high-pitched buzzing sensation |
| Male | |
| Miracle matter-a | Is it some kind of miracle matter? |
| Face mela pesura | Speaking right to the face |
| Shutter-a saathura | Closing down the shutter |
| Reels-ah ottura | Spinning reels and stories |
| Male | |
| Ottinu onnaachu | Sticking together as one |
| Pichinu rendaachu | Tearing apart into two |
| Summaave kalaichu | Just messing up for no reason |
| Naachi neechi | Stretching and dragging things out |

| Siliki kuliki simbili unda | Swaying, shaking, and playing tricks |
| Kathi kathi keenjidhu thondai | The throat tears apart from endless shouting |

காலு ஒஞ்ச காக்கா போல நொண்டுற
வவ்வால போல தலைகீழ தொங்குற
பொட்டியில் பாம்பா போல் நெழியுர
மந்திரிச் கோழி போல மேலகேர பறக்குற
You limp around like a crow with a broken leg
You hang upside down like a bat
You wriggle like a snake trapped inside a box
You fly high around like a bewitched chicken
ராங்கு ரூட் போட்டு மாட்டிகின
டாப்-பு கீஞ்ச ஆட்டோ போல சுத்தினுகீற
வாய் உதார் வுட்டு
காது கொய்யுனு டொய்யுனு
ஜிவ்வுனு தான் கீது
Taking the wrong route, you got trapped
You wander around like an auto rickshaw with a torn hood
Blabbering boastfully with your mouth
Making ears ring with a 'goiyyu doiynu' sound
Leaving a high-pitched buzzing sensation
மிராக்கிள் மேட்டரா
ஃப்பேஸ் மேல பேசுறா
ஷட்டர்-அ சாத்துறா
ரீல்ஸ்-அ ஓட்டுறா
Is it some kind of miracle matter?
Speaking right to the face
Closing down the shutter
Spinning reels and stories
ஒட்டினு ஒன்னாச்சு
பிச்சினு ரெண்டாச்சு
சும்மாவே கலாச்சு
நாச்சி நீச்சி
கோச்சினு போச்சு
Sticking together as one
Tearing apart into two
Just messing up for no reason
Stretching and dragging things out
Storming off in huff and anger
எண்ணை சட்டி கடுக போல
பொரிச்சு நிக்கிற
கிரில்-யு சிக்கன் போல ஏம்மா
வெறச்சினிக்கிற
Like mustard seeds dropped in a hot oil pan
You stand there crackling and popping
Like a grilled chicken, oh lady
You stand all stiffened up
வருத்து வெச்ச மீன போல
மொறப்பா இருக்கிற
வத்த கொழம்பு போல ஏம்மா
நீயும் கொதிக்கிற
Like a fried fish served on a plate
You stand looking all stern and tough
Like boiling Vaththa Kuzhambu gravy, oh lady
Why are you boiling over in anger too?
காரம் ஜாரம் சாப்ட போல
வேர்த்து ஊத்தும் மூஞ்சி மேல
கண்ணு ரெண்டும் செவந்த போல
நாக்க நீட்டுற
As if you ate something extra spicy
Sweat pours all over your face
With both your eyes turning bright red
You stick out your tongue
சிலிக்கி குலிக்கி சிம்பிலி உண்ட
கத்தி கத்தி கீஞ்சிது தொண்டை
நம்த்து போன பிரச்சானைக்கு
நடக்குது சண்ட
Swaying, shaking, and playing tricks
The throat tears apart from endless shouting
Over a stale and soggy issue
A big fight is taking place
ஐயயோ என்னாச்சி
கேளுங்க அண்ணாச்சி
மனசெல்லாம் புண்ணாச்சி
ஃபீலிங் ஃபண்ணாச்சி
Oh dear, what happened?
Listen up, big brother
The entire heart has turned into a wound
The feeling has turned funny and ironic
சோக்கமா தூங்குற
ட்ரீம்-உல தேடுற
நிக்காம ஓடுற
சவுண்ட் இல்ல ஜோரா கத்துற
Sleeping blissfully sound
Searching inside a dream
Running non-stop without a break
Screaming loudly without making a single sound
Kaalu onja kaakkaa pola nondura
You limp around like a crow with a broken leg
Vavaala pola thalakeezha thongura
You hang upside down like a bat
Pottiyila paamba pol neliyura
You wriggle like a snake trapped inside a box
Mandhiricha kozhi pola melagera parakura
You fly high around like a bewitched chicken
Wrong-u route pottu mattikina
Taking the wrong route, you got trapped
Top-pu keenja auto pola suthinukeera
You wander around like an auto rickshaw with a torn hood
Vaai udhar vuttu
Blabbering boastfully with your mouth
Kaadhu goiyyu doiynu
Making ears ring with a 'goiyyu doiynu' sound
Jivvunu dhaan keedhu
Leaving a high-pitched buzzing sensation
Miracle matter-a
Is it some kind of miracle matter?
Face mela pesura
Speaking right to the face
Shutter-a saathura
Closing down the shutter
Reels-ah ottura
Spinning reels and stories
Ottinu onnaachu
Sticking together as one
Pichinu rendaachu

Nadakudhu sanda
A big fight is taking place
Aiyaiyo ennachi
Oh dear, what happened?
Kelunga annachi
Listen up, big brother
Manasellam punnachi
The entire heart has turned into a wound
Feeling funnachi
The feeling has turned funny and ironic
Sokkama thoongura
Sleeping blissfully sound
Dream-ula thedura
Searching inside a dream
Nikkama odura
Running non-stop without a break
Sound illama jora kathura
Screaming loudly without making a single sound
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This high-energy Gana track from 'Let's Get Married' (LGM) humorously explores chaotic emotions, frustration, and absurd everyday arguments through rich Chennai colloquial slang. Using vivid, funny similes—comparing a frustrated person to mustard popping in hot oil, a stiff grilled chicken, or boiling sour gravy—the song pokes fun at how people get overly worked up and drama-filled over trivial issues.
