On that level, on that level!
On that level, on that level!
When you look at that beauty,
even the hot sun fans her!
Singing poems for her,
my throat has gone completely dry!
When it comes to love, buddy,
everything gets torn to shreds!
On that level, on that level!
On that level, on that level!
Oh my, did the ocean surge?
Did a simple raft dock inside a grand ship?
Did a chill set in? Did a light flash?
Did the sun rise inside a lantern chimney?
Did the heart leap? Did it sweep me away?
Did a lump of jaggery stick inside the clay pot?
Ayle ayle, oh peacock singing baila tunes!
Swift like a rabbit,
like a thousand-wheeled train!
Whistles blowing all around,
ears tingling with excitement!
Sweet words flowing,
like beaten rice mixed with sugar!
On that level, on that level!
On that, that, that level!
Inside the college,
even ants act like lions!
Oh boy, nobody can handle
the wild antics everywhere!
Even so, all the boys are pure gold!
Every single bench
turned into a drum!
All ten fingers
turned into drumsticks!
Far more than studies,
our talent has overflowed!
As a skinny little girl,
nobody likes her today,
but that she will be a stunner tomorrow,
no one seems to realize!
Even a butterfly
down on the ground,
as a humble caterpillar,
spent some of its days, didn't it?
Swift like a rabbit,
like a thousand-wheeled train!
Whistles blowing all around,
ears tingling with excitement!
Sweet words flowing,
like beaten rice mixed with sugar!
On that level, on that level!
On that level, on that level!
When you look at that beauty,
even the hot sun fans her!
Singing poems for her,
my throat has gone completely dry!
When it comes to love, buddy,
everything gets torn to shreds!
Next level, next level!
Next level, next level!
Whoa-ho, whoa-ho, whoa-ho!
With messy, wild hair,
if you roam around studying,
or on the very last bench
if you keep dozing off,
an Isaac Newton inside you
will emerge if you dare!
Your father might push you
into his own dreams,
your mother might always
overwhelm you with emotional guilt,
but only a true friend
will treasure you in his heart!
If they hit you with stones,
do not lose heart!
If they hurt you with harsh words,
do not break down!
Just like our Dhoni,
on the very last ball,
smash a six and show them all!
Swift like a rabbit,
like a thousand-wheeled train!
Whistles blowing all around,
ears tingling with excitement!
Sweet words flowing,
like beaten rice mixed with sugar!
When you look at that beauty,
even the hot sun fans her!
Singing poems for her,
my throat has gone completely dry!
When it comes to love, buddy,
everything gets torn to shreds!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Antha Levelu from the movie The Legend (2022) is an energetic youth anthem that celebrates college life, student camaraderie, hidden talents, and resilience. The song captures the lively atmosphere of campus life where simple wooden desks become musical drums, backbenchers possess untapped genius like Isaac Newton, and youth rise above everyday academic pressures. It highlights the unbreakable bond among true friends who support each other when parents impose high expectations. Furthermore, the lyrics deliver an inspiring message of perseverance against harsh criticism and life challenges. Drawing an analogy to cricket legend M.S. Dhoni hitting a winning sixer on the final ball, the track encourages young people to believe in themselves and overcome all odds to reach a 'next level' of success.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Rhyme / Rhyming Refrain (Iyaibo / Monai)

“Mosalo mosalu... Visilo visilu... Pesalo pesalu”

The repetitive rhyme pattern 'Mosalo mosalu / Visilo visilu / Pesalo pesalu' creates rhythmic, infectious energy characteristic of Tamil folk-pop.

Hyperbole (Exaggeration)

“Simminikkul suriyanum udhichirucho”

The poet uses extreme exaggeration claiming that the sun rises inside a small lantern or that the scorching sun fans a beautiful girl.

Metaphor

“Benchu motham drumsugal aachu, pathu veralum kuchigal aachu”

Comparing student desks to musical drums and fingers to drumsticks emphasizes the raw creative energy of college students.

Analogy / Cultural Allusion

“Namma dhoni pola neeyum kadaisi ballil sixer adichu kaattu”

References M.S. Dhoni's famous last-ball match-winning sixers as a metaphor for achieving sudden success in life despite late beginnings.
