You limp around like a crow with a broken leg,
You hang upside down like a bat,
You squirm like a snake trapped in a basket,
You flutter all over like a spellbound chicken!
You took the wrong route and got stuck,
Wandering around like an auto with a torn roof!
Talking big and bragging away,
With your ears ringing and buzzing,
Leaving your head spinning in a rush!
Is this some kind of miracle?
She talks right to your face,
Pulls down the shutter,
And spins her reels and stories!
Stuck together as one,
Ripped apart into two,
Teasing just for fun,
Making a messy fuss,
And walking off in a huff!
Like mustard seeds in hot oil,
You pop and splutter in anger!
Like grilled chicken, oh girl,
Why are you standing so stiff?
Like a crisp fried fish,
Why do you glare so sternly?
Like spicy vatha kuzhambu curry, oh girl,
Why are you boiling with rage?
As if you ate something fiery hot,
Sweat pours down your face,
With your eyes turning blood-red,
You stick your tongue out!
Flaunting, swaying, and playing it cool,
Shouting till your throat is torn,
Over an old, stale issue,
A big fight is breaking out!
Oh no, what happened?
Just listen to this, brother!
The heart is all wounded,
And every feeling turned into a joke!
You sleep in total comfort,
You search around in your dreams,
You keep running without stopping,
You scream at the top of your lungs with no sound!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

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.
