Chorus: Oh ho...
In all eight directions

Hoisting our flag of victory
We are going to rule together!

Hey, partner!
Male: Tell me, what's up?
Male: Whoever comes against us,
Male: Stand right up to them!
It can conquer anything,
Male: Our sheer guts!
Male: Where are we heading?
Male: You tell me!
Drinking liquor neat without sharing,
Stirring up the marketplace,
And popping up our collars,
That's pure fun!
The souls who supported us,
Deep inside our hearts for a lifetime,
If we tattoo them with gratitude,
That's pure joy!
If our bellies are filled at every meal,
That's fun!
If we grow younger year after year,
That's awesome!
If my decayed tooth turns to gold,
That's fantastic!
If sweet fragrance flows from the Cooum river,
That's magical!
Hey, who, who, who?
Who is there like us?
In this town, our name is
Total fun!
Ho ho ho
Ho ho ho ho... ooh...
Ho ho ho... ho ho ooh
Ho ho ho
Ho ho ho ho... ooh...
Ho ho ho... ho ho ooh
Hey, partner!

Male: Where are we heading?
Male: You tell me!
Hey hey!
For a gang of carefree drifters,
Taping up a tennis ball to play,
And waiting right at the doorstep,
That's pure fun!
Hey hey!
Wearing a garland of currency notes,
Sporting holy ash marks in the month of Aadi,
And downing a drink in peak devotion,
That's a riot!
Free smokes and spicy lentil fritters,
That's pure delight!
Fasting porridge from our local mosque,
That's sheer bliss!
Casting a tiny fish and catching an elephant,
That's a jackpot!
If a stylish girl asks for our address,
That's awesome!
We are here to make the song,
You are here to dance along,
Come on, catch the beat!
Total fun!
Hey, partner!
Male: Tell me, what's up?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Majaa' serves as an energetic, high-octane introductory and celebration anthem in the movie. The term 'Majaa' is Tamil colloquial slang representing peak fun, joy, enthusiasm, and living life to the fullest without care. The lyrics celebrate camaraderie between brothers/friends who embrace life's small joys, stand by each other through thick and thin, and look forward to new beginnings and adventures with absolute confidence.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Iyaipu (Rhyming Refrain)

Majaa

The word 'Majaa' is used repetitively at the end of every alternate line across multiple stanzas as a catchy rhyming refrain.

Anaphora / Monai (First Sound Harmony)

Puthu vesham katta porom / Puthu uravai thedi porom

Both lines open with 'Puthu', creating a melodic and thematic repetition emphasizing new beginnings.

Hyperbole (Exaggeration)

Ada coovaththula vaasam vantha

Exaggerating the impossible idea of Chennai's Cooum river becoming fragrant to signify ultimate, surreal delight.
