காதல் என்பது
நேரச்செலவு காமம்
ஒன்றே உண்மை துறவு
Love is
A waste of time
Lust alone is
The true renunciation
நேசம் பாசம்
போலி உறவு எல்லாம்
கடந்து மண்ணில் உளவு
Affection and love are
Fake relationships
Transcending everything
Wander upon the earth
யாருடன் கழிந்தது
இரவு என ஞாபகம்
கொள்பவன் மூடன்
With whom
The night was spent,
The one who remembers that
Is a fool
அணியும் நாற்றம்
கொண்டே அவளின் பேரை
சொல்பவன் போகன்
Just by the scent
Worn by her,
The one who names her
Is Bogan
போகன் செ
போகா போகா போகன்

Say boga boga
BOGAN
கூடு விட்டு கூடு
பாஞ்சான் மேனி விட்டு
மேனி மேஞ்சான் பின்னே
போகன் எந்தன் நெஞ்சம்
மேலே சாஞ்சான்
Leaping from body to body,
Transmigrated souls
Leaving one flesh,
Grazing upon another
And then Bogan
Leaned upon my heart
பச்சை திராட்ச்சை
தூறல் மேலே இச்சை மூட்டும்
தீயோ கீழே என்னை நட்ட நடு
மையத்திலே சோ்த்தான்
Green grape
Drizzle above
Kindling desire,
Fire below
Planted me right in
The center of it all
மொத்த பூமியும்
மொகத்து ஜோதி அது
போகன் தின்ற மீதி
The whole earth is
A light of passion,
And that is what Bogan left behind
As leftovers
நீாினில் போகனை
காண அந்த காமனும்
கொள்வான் பீதி
To see Bogan
In person,
Even Kamadeva (god of love)
Would be terrified
விண்ணில் மண்ணில்
எங்கெங்கும் போகன் வில்லா
போகன் வில்லா
In the sky and on earth,
Everywhere is Bogan villa
Bogan villa...

Lust is a loaded gun
I am a dragon spitting kisses
லிசன் அப் அன்பும்
அறிவும் பண்பும் கழுதையும்
உதவிக்கென்றும் நிற்காது
Listen up
Love, wisdom,
Character, and a donkey
Will never stand up
To help you
காதல் இல்லா
ஊருக்குள்ளே தலைவலி
மாத்திரை விற்காது
In a town
Without love,
Even headache pills
Will not sell
வாங்கும் பொருளின்
விலை பட்டை திருப்பி
பாா்ப்பவன் மூடன்
Looking at the price tag
Of an item bought,
The one who checks it
Is a fool
கண்ணில் காணும்
பொருள் எல்லாம்
தனதே என்பான் போகன்
Whatever meets the eyes,
All those things,
He claims as his own—
That is Bogan
தனி ஒருவனுக்குள்ளே
உள்ளே ஒரு பிரபஞ்சமே
மறைஞ்சிருக்குமா
Inside a single individual,
An entire universe
Is hidden within
இவன் மனவெளி
ரகசியம் அதை நாசா பேசாதா
The expanse of his mind,
A secret
Don't speak to NASA about it,
கிரகங்களை கை
பந்தாட விரும்பிடுவானே
With planets
To play catch,
He desires
கருங்குழிக்குள்ளே
சென்று திரும்பிடுவானே
Entering inside
A black hole,
He will return
புது புது புதையலை
திறந்திடுவானே முழுவதும்
ருசித்ததும் பறந்திடுவானே
Unearthing new treasures,
He will unlock them
Once tasted completely,
He will fly away
விண்ணில் மண்ணில்
எங்கெங்கும் போகன் வில்லா
In the sky and on the earth,
Everywhere,
Bogan villa

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The title track 'Bogan' serves as a character study of a hedonistic, unstoppable antagonist who lives purely for pleasure, indulgence, and power without any moral constraints. The lyrics portray love and conventional morality as useless foolishness while exalting raw desire, astral projection (soul swapping / 'koodu vittu koodu paanjaan'), and absolute domination over material wealth and human bodies.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Edhugai (Second-letter rhyme)
“Koodu vittu / Meni vittu”
Matching second consonant sounds in consecutive lines like 'Kaadhal' / 'Nerach' or 'Koodu' / 'Meni'.
Metaphor
“Kaamam loaded gun”
Comparing lust to a loaded firearm ready to fire ('Kaamam loaded gun').
Hyperbole
“Andha kaamanum kolvaan beedhi”
Exaggerating the protagonist's cosmic ego, claiming even the god of love (Kamadeva) fears him and that he plays with planets like balls.
Did you know?
Trivia
Composed by D. Imman with lyrics by Madhan Karky, the song captures the essence of Arvind Swami's character in the supernatural thriller 'Bogan'. The phrase 'Koodu vittu koodu paanjaan' directly references 'Parakaya Pravesham', the ancient occult power of soul-transmigration central to the movie's plot.
