Hey, stop, stop, stop...
Stop...
How long will we listen to
this same song every New Year?
I want a brand new song!
On New Year's night,
shouldn't we get totally tight?
Sweet Tamil, Telugu,
Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, English,
all people of the world...
Wish you a Happy New Year!
Let's get dead wasted!
On New Year's night,
shouldn't we get totally tight?
Tonight,
everything is just right!
Play it!
On New Year's night,
shouldn't we get totally tight?
Tonight,
everything is just right!
Pour it on the rocks,
show off all your skills!
A Tamilian's song
is always heavy!
Heavy... heavy... heavy!
The heart still hasn't forgotten
the past love, not at all, not at all!
Our salary hasn't gone up,
not a bit, not at all, not at all!
What on earth is going on?
It is a total mystery!
Just like that, the year flew by,
and a new year is born!
We'll swear we don't want love anymore,
we'll swear we'll quit booze and smoking,
but once again, whatever we did last year,
we'll do the exact same thing!
Dead wasted, wasted, wasted,
wasted, wasted, wasted, wasted,
dead wasted, wasted, wasted,
wasted, wasted, wasted, wasted,
dead wasted, wasted, wasted,
dead wasted, wasted, wasted,
dead wasted,
dead wasted,
dead wasted,
wasted, wasted!
Dead wasted, wasted, wasted,
wasted, wasted, wasted, wasted,
dead wasted, wasted, wasted,
wasted, wasted, wasted, wasted,
dead wasted, wasted, wasted,
dead wasted, wasted, wasted,
dead wasted,
dead wasted,
dead wasted,
wasted, wasted!
Hey...
Female: What, is that all?
Dead wasted, wasted, wasted,
wasted, wasted, wasted, wasted,
dead wasted, wasted, wasted,
wasted, wasted, wasted, wasted,
dead wasted, wasted, wasted,
dead wasted, wasted, wasted,
dead wasted,
dead wasted,
dead wasted,
wasted, wasted!
Hey...
Female: Even before the drinks,
the song is already over...
I want an after-drinks song!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'Marana Matta' is a light-hearted, high-energy New Year celebratory track written by Silambarasan TR (Simbu). The song pokes fun at the routine nature of New Year celebrations and resolutions. It addresses common youth struggles such as stagnant salaries, romantic heartbreak, and the inevitable failure to stick to resolutions like quitting drinking or smoking.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Iyaibu (End Rhyme)

New year night-u / Aava lamaa tight-u / Innaiku night-u / Ellamae right-u

Rhyming English and colloquial Tamil loan words ending with 'u' sound at line ends.

Adukku Thodar (Repetition for Emphasis)

Marana matta matta matta / Marakka villai villai villai

Repetition of words like 'matta' and 'villai' to emphasize extreme state of drunkenness and stagnant situations.

Emonaai (Initial Rhyme / Alliteration)

Sambala kaasu konjam kooda / Yera villai villai villai

Matching starting consonant sounds across lines for rhythmic flow.
