Hello saarae
Unga trouser ellaam avukka poren
Erakkam edhum illai
Inchi inchaai thiruda poren
Ada karumam unga dharumam
Adhu pinam thinni sasththiram
Hello saarae saarae
Kanna moodi vaazha poren
Kuniya vachi unga mela
Yeri poga poren
Emotions are illusions
Ada kurangu kai mela poovo…
So called vaazhvil thevai
Mmaanang ketta rooba
Rooba rooba rooba
Konaa paavam thinaa pochii
En anukkal ovvondrum mirugamae…hoouuuu
Vaazhndhaalum i need money
Veezhndhaalum i need money
Sethaalum en saambal yelam pogumae
Aanalum hiding Money
Ponaalum i need money
Kanneerum kai netti
Kaasu ketkkumae….hoouuuu
Hello sir,
I'm going to strip you of your pants,
There's no mercy here,
I'm going to rob you inch by inch.
Damn your so-called righteousness,
It's a code that feeds on corpses!
Hello sir, sir,
I'm going to live with my eyes shut,
Make you bend down,
And walk all over you.
Emotions are illusions,
Why give flowers to a monkey?
All you need in this so-called life is
Shameless money!
Money, money, money!
Sin if you kill, gone once you eat,
Every cell in me is a wild beast... ooh...
If I live, I need money,
If I fall, I need money,
Even if I die, my ashes will be auctioned off!
Still hiding money,
Even when I'm gone, I need money,
Even tears will stretch out a hand
And beg for cash... ooh...
Male

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song is a raw, cynical, and aggressive anthem centered on money, greed, and survival in a ruthless world. The narrator discards societal morality, traditional values, and human emotions as mere illusions or hypocrisies, embracing a completely mercenary mindset. He openly declares that he will exploit and overcome anyone without remorse, driven by the belief that money dominates every stage of human existence—from life to death.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Metaphor

“En anukkal ovvondrum mirugamae…hoouuuu”

The speaker directly compares every cell in his body to a 'wild beast' (mirugam), emphasizing untamed greed, primal instincts, and a lack of empathy.

Proverb / Idiomatic Allusion

“Ada kurangu kai mela poovo…”

Refers to the famous Tamil proverb 'Kurangu kaiyil poomalai' (a flower garland in a monkey's hands), symbolizing delicate emotions being wasted on incapable or chaotic people.

Iyaipu (End Rhyme)

“Vaazhndhaalum i need money / Veezhndhaalum i need money / Ponaalum i need money”

Repetition of the phrase 'i need money' at the end of multiple consecutive lines creates a driving rhythmic emphasis on the core theme.

Monai (Initial Alliteration)

“Vaazhndhaalum i need money / Veezhndhaalum i need money”

The starting letters/sounds 'Va' (Vaazhndhaalum) and 'Ve' (Veezhndhaalum) rhyme, forming a classic Tamil poetic Monai.

Trivia

This track is from the 2019 Tamil action-thriller 'Thambi', directed by Jeethu Joseph, starring Karthi and Jyothika. Composed by Govind Vasantha with lyrics by Karthik Netha, the song captures the rogue, mercenary, and slick nature of the lead character (played by Karthi) before his life takes a dramatic narrative turn.
