ஏ ..மூஞ்சி நா டப்பு
டப்பு நா மாலு

Just chasing money,
We are running around like ghosts!
Having butter right in hand,
We go around searching for ghee!
For a simple piece of paper,
வசனம் :
ஒரு இரவும் ஒரு பகலும்
ஒன்னு எடுத்திட்டு வாங்க பா
A few people wander endlessly.
Oh, calling it money, loot, cash,
Many people give it various names.
My cheeky partner got caught red-handed!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic Gaana song offers a satirical commentary on modern urban life, the pursuit of wealth, and society's obsession with superficial appearances. Using high-energy Madras slang, the lyrics poke fun at how money controls human behavior and social status, pointing out the irony that even educated professionals resort to trickery to get rich quick.

Poetic devices
Metaphor / Idiom
