Why blood- u
Same blood-u
Family total damage-u maamu
We are reckless guys, man!
It's a dirty brawl, man!
The roast we dish out...
...is a heavyweight concept, man!
Even a bull...
...screams out in agony,
and even a donkey
covers its ears!
Come on, just keep quiet!
Ah, come on, just keep quiet!
Why this blood?
Same blood!
The family is totally ruined, buddy!
I'm a sturdy wooden measure, aha!
You're just a hollow bottle gourd, aha!
I'm the real deal!
Hey, you're just a worn slipper!
We are reckless guys, man!
It's a dirty brawl, man!
The roast we dish out...
...is a heavyweight concept, man!
Even a bull...
...screams out in agony,
and even a donkey
covers its ears!
...
Roaming around with no restraint,
we are an unruly gang, man!
Chorus: Aha!
Male: Risking our heads
over cheap bran, man!
Chorus: Aha!
Male: Guys with big talk
can survive anywhere,
Chorus: Aha!
Male: but down in the belly,
they're just cockroaches!
Sucking on a bottle of cyanide—
there is no need for that!
Chorus: Aha!
Male: Rat poison for fifty paise—
there is no need for that!
Chorus: Aha!
Male: If this foul-mouthed guy just spins
his tongue around,
Chorus: Aha!
even an anaconda would be beaten!
We are reckless guys, man!
It's a dirty brawl, man!
Chorus: Aha!
Male: The roast we dish out...
...is a heavyweight concept, man!
Chorus: Aha!
Male: Even a bull...
...screams out in agony,
Chorus: Aha!
Male: and even a donkey
covers its ears!
Why this blood?
Why this blood?
Why this blood?
Same blood!
Ayyayyayyayya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya ya
Roaring all alone,
it's a lion, man!
Chorus: Aha!
Male: Trapped in a herd,
they are just pigs, man!
Chorus: Aha!
Male: Worthless, shameless,
good-for-nothing rascals—
Chorus: Aha!
Male: he makes sparks fly
on the back of their necks, man!
Chorus: Aha!
Shame, honor, pride, and self-respect—
they have none of it, man!
Chorus: Aha!
Male: In the wind, their loincloth
goes flying away, man!
Chorus: Aha!
Male: He'll give you betel leaves
to chew on,
Chorus: Aha!
Male: and then burn you with limestone paste!
Chorus: Aha!
We are reckless guys, man!
It's a dirty brawl, man!
The roast we dish out...
...is a heavyweight concept, man!
Even a bull...
...screams out in agony,
and even a donkey
covers its ears!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Kaali Pasanga Daa from the movie Kappal (2014) is a high-energy, quirky Tanglish folk track that humorously portrays the chaotic lifestyle, unapologetic antics, and street-smart camaraderie of a group of wild young friends. The lyrics utilize local Chennai Tamil slang, hyperbole, and satirical insults to highlight their shameless, reckless, and unbreakable bond as they navigate life's absurdities together.

An intentional exaggeration stating that a person's foul mouth is so lethal that even an Anaconda would lose to it.

Metaphor

Naan paruppu / Hey nee seruppu

Direct metaphorical comparison using colloquial slang ('paruppu' representing a big shot vs 'seruppu' representing trash/worthless).
