லிக்கர் உள்ள போய்
சிக்ஸர் அடிக்குது
கிக்குலதான் என் கவலை
மறக்குது
When liquor goes inside
It hits a sixer
In that kick, my worries fade away
ஜோவியர்ரில்
மனம் நீச்சல் அடிக்குது
லாஜிக்கில்ல புது மேஜிக்
நடக்குது
In high spirits
My mind goes swimming
Without any logic, a new magic
Is happening
தண்ணீயில
நான் நீந்த நீந்ததான்
யாரிருக்கா என்னை
ஏந்த ஏந்ததான்
In the water
As I swim and swim
Who is there to
Hold and catch me?
சொர்க்கத்தையே
நான் வாங்க வாங்கதான்
வந்திருக்கேன்
நீங்க தாங்க தாங்கத்தான்
To buy heaven itself
As I go on buying
I have arrived
For you all to endure and support me

The strength of an elephant
This alcohol gives me now, guys!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation

Beneath the fun and rhythm lies a candid reflection on how women also carry heavy emotional sorrows that they try to drown out or share with friends. Ultimately, the song is a call to camaraderie, encouraging friends to swap worries, drink together, and prioritize joy regardless of consequences.
