கார்டு வாங்கி கொடுக்கிறோம்

செல்லு வாங்கி கொடுக்கிறோம்
ரீசார்ஜும் பண்ணி கொடுக்கிறோம்
We buy card gifts and give them,
We write poetry and give them,
We buy cell phones and give them,
We even pay and recharge them,
அன்ப கூட
வாரி வாரி கொடுக்கிறோம்
அவங்க வீட்டுக்கும் தான்
ரேஷன் வாங்கி கொடுக்கிறோம்
நாம கொடுத்ததெல்லாம்
வாங்கி கிட்ட அவங்க தான்
நமக்கு வேதனையை
கொடுக்கிறாங்க என்னடா
இதில நீதி நேர்மை
இருக்கு தான்னு சொல்லுடா சொல்லுடா
Even our love,
We shower upon them abundantly,
Even for their household,
We buy and deliver rations,
Having received everything we gave them,
Those very same women,
Give us only pain and heartaches in return, why is that, friend?
Is there any justice or honesty in this?
Tell me, friend, tell me!

We end up forgetting,
Lost in their thoughts,
We forget everything else,
Knowing very well how much we forget for them,
Those very women,
Forget us just like that on the go, why is that, friend?
To forget this sorrow,
Tell me you are drinking to cope, friend, tell me!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Intha Ponnungalae from Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam (2013) is a popular comedic heartbreak song (often referred to as a 'soup song' in Tamil pop culture). Sung from the perspective of a frustrated lover, the lyrics humorously express how men sacrifice their time, money, self-respect, and peace of mind for women, buying them phones, recharges, and groceries, only to end up heart-broken. The tone mixes dramatic sorrow with lighthearted comedic exaggeration, capturing the bond of male friendship during moments of romantic disappointment.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Avanga kannu namma kallarainnu”
Comparing women's alluring eyes directly to a graveyard ('kallarai'), symbolizing how romantic attraction leads to emotional ruin for men.
Anaphora / End Rhyme (Iyaibu)
“Veedu vaasal marakkurom / Vetkam rosam marakurom / Nalla thoonga marakkurom”
The repetition of 'marakkurom' (we forget) at the end of consecutive lines creates a rhythmic, list-like effect emphasizing total distraction.
Alliteration (Moonaai)
“Pinnaala sutha vechi / Pithukuli aaga vechi”
Repetition of initial consonants like 'P' ('Pinnaala', 'Pithukuli') enhances the lyrical cadence of the song.

Trivia
The song was sung by the film's lead actor Sivakarthikeyan himself along with music composer D. Imman, making it one of the actor's iconic early playback singing tracks.
