Ae…ae….ooo ooo oooo oo
Hooo ooo ooo ooo hoo oo ooo
I got trapped by a girl,
And in that sorrow, I downed this drink!
Even a world war is better than this, bro!
Can't bear the trouble girls cause, man!
The queen of my heart,
Threw me away!
Right in my heart,
She stung like a bee!
I made so many big, big
Mistakes, and she let them go.
But this one tiny mistake,
She blew it out of proportion and broke us apart!
Love is
A gamble played
With your heart, man!
It turns you into a joker, dude!
Tears are like
A soul-ripping
Tsunami, run away!
Who has ever survived it?
An idli cooks in steam, buddy,
When your very spirit steams, that's love, buddy!
This is a philosophy
No one ever taught you, buddy!
At first, it makes you feel like a hero,
In the end, it makes you a total fool!
That idli cooks in steam, buddy,
When your very spirit steams, that's love, buddy!
This is a philosophy
No one ever taught you, buddy!
At first, it makes you feel like a hero,
In the end, love makes you a total fool...
...
Love is tangled like idiyappam (steamed rice noodles),
I don't know how to untangle it... I just can't!
I'm spinning round and round like clock hands,
I can't find any way out!
Making me dance...
This love that plays with me,
Locking it up...
I just can't lock it away!
Trapping me...
It trapped me and walked away!
My mind is trembling and restless,
I've gone completely to waste!
An idli cooks in steam, buddy,
When your very spirit steams, that's love, buddy!
This is a philosophy
No one ever taught you, buddy!
At first, it makes you feel like a hero,
In the end, it makes you a total fool!
That idli cooks in steam, buddy,
When your very spirit steams, that's love, buddy!
This is a philosophy
No one ever taught you, buddy!
At first, it makes you feel like a hero,
In the end, love makes you a total fool...
Yeh... yeh... oh oh oh oh
Ho oh oh oh ho oh oh

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song is a humorous, drunken grief anthem where the protagonist laments his heartbreak and the unpredictable nature of love. He complains about how his lover forgave his major mistakes in the past but dumped him over a minor flaw. He describes love as a rigged game of gambling that eventually turns a person into a fool.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Simile (Uwamai)

“Thaeni pola kottittaa / Idiyaappam pola kaadhal sikkala”

Compares love's pain to a bee sting ('Thaeni pola kottittaa') and the complexity of romance to tangled string hoppers ('Idiyaappam pola kaadhal sikkala').

Metaphor (Uruvagam)

“Kadhal enbadhu... Soothaattam daa / Kaneer enbadhu... Tsunami daa”

Compares love to a gambling game ('Soothaattam') and tears to a destructive 'Tsunami'.

Rhyme / Assonance (Edhugai)

“Aatti... / Pootti... / Maatti...”

The deliberate rhythmic rhyming of words across adjacent lines: 'Aatti', 'Pootti', and 'Maatti'.

Antithesis (Muran)

“First-u mass aakkum daa / Last-u loose aakkum daa”

Contrasts the glorious beginning of love with its disastrous end ('First-u mass' vs 'Last-u loose').
