தண்ணி காட்டி திரிஞ்சவன்டா
கள்ள வழி எல்லாத்தையும்
தெரிஞ்சவன்டா பயத்துக்கே
பல்ல காட்டி சிரிச்சவன்டா
கண்ட படி கைய வெச்சா
இப்போ இவன் சிக்கிக்கிட்டான்
He fooled the entire town,
And roamed around freely, man!
All the shady and illegal ways,
He knew them inside out, man!
Showing his teeth even to fear,
He laughed it off, man!
When he recklessly laid his hands on something,
Now he got himself trapped!

குகை குள்ள சிங்கம்
அட கோபம் ரொம்ப பொங்கும்
முட்ட போடும் மயிலே அட
போட்டு புட்ட குயில
There is a lion inside the cave,
Oh, its rage overflows intensely!
A peacock laying eggs,
Oh, a cuckoo that has been finished off,
கார தேடும் காக்கா
நரி விளையாடுவானே
நேக்கா உங்கொக்கா மக்கா
டக்கா டொக்கா கதைய
கொஞ்சம் கேளு இங்க
A crow searching for a car,
The fox plays its game slyly and smoothly,
Gargantuan gibberish slang words!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Jungle in the City' serves as an energetic and chaotic anthem for the 2014 crime thriller 'Burma', which revolves around the underground world of car repossessors in Chennai. The lyrics depict the urban concrete jungle as a wild forest where cunning individuals survive by their wits. It describes a clever protagonist who used to fool everyone and laugh at danger, until a reckless move got him tangled up in trouble.
