| Pasikku | For hunger, |
| Uyirukaaga uyirai kondruthan | By killing a life just to sustain life, |
| Thodangi rusiyai theerkum vettaikaran nee | You became the hunter who eats to satisfy greed and taste. |
| Aduku maadi mela madi kattadhaan | To construct floor upon floor on multi-storey buildings, |
| Tharaiku thani mela mannu pota nee | You are the one who dumped soil over water bodies. |
| Male | |
| Inga eppo naalavan eppo ketavan | Here, when is one good, and when is one evil? |
| Badhil gandhi note sollum yaaru uthaman | The Gandhi note answers who is virtuous. |
| Oru kodi poigalin naduve unmaiya | Amidst a crore of lies, is there any truth? |
| Andha kootathile naanum ullen yaaraiyaa | I am also in that crowd, who am I sir? |
| Naa yaar naa yaar naa yaaru sollava | Who am I, who am I, shall I tell who I am? |

For hunger,
By killing a life just to sustain life,
You became the hunter who eats to satisfy greed and taste.
To construct floor upon floor on multi-storey buildings,
You are the one who dumped soil over water bodies.
பசிக்கு
உயிருக்காக உயிரை கொன்றுதான்
தொடங்கி ருசியை தீர்க்கும் வேட்டைகாரன் நீ
அடுக்கு மாடி மேல மாடி கட்டதான்
தரைக்கு தண்ணி மேல மண்ணு போட்ட நீ
Here, when is one good, and when is one evil?
The Gandhi note answers who is virtuous.
Amidst a crore of lies, is there any truth?
I am also in that crowd, who am I sir?
Who am I, who am I, shall I tell who I am?
Who am I, who am I, shall I tell who I am?
இங்க எப்போ நல்லவன் எப்போ கெட்டவன்
பதில் காந்தி நோட்டு சொல்லு யாரு உத்தமன்
ஒரு கோடி பொய்களின் நடுவே உண்மையா
அந்த கூட்டத்திலே நானும் உள்ளேன் யாரய்யா
நான் யார் நான் யார் நான் யாரு சொல்லவா
நான் யார் நான் யார் நான் யாரு சொல்லவா
For hunger,
By killing a life just to sustain life,
பசிக்கு
உயிருக்காக உயிரை கொன்றுதான்
There are a hundred leaders,
But who is actually there in times of need?
If the country remains in such a state,
How will the town flourish?
All the thieves,
Wear honorable disguises.
In today's world, honesty and justice,
Are unnecessary lessons.
ஹம்மிங் :

Who said this... haha,
Coming along while nodding its head,
And standing to get slaughtered,
The goat said it.
தலைவர்கள் நூறு
தேவைக்கு யாரு
நிலைமையில் நாடு இருந்தால்
எங்கு வெளங்கும் ஊரு
திருடர்கள் எல்லாம்
கௌரவ வேடம்
ஆகையில் நேர்மை நியாயம்
தேவையற்ற பாடம்
For hunger,
By killing a life just to sustain life,
You became the hunter who eats to satisfy greed and taste.
To construct floor upon floor on multi-storey buildings,
You are the one who dumped soil over water bodies.
இதுவே உலக நீதி
இதுவே உலக நீதி
யாரு சொன்னது....ஹஹா
தலையை ஆட்டி வந்து
வெட்டு வாங்கி நின்ற
ஆடு சொன்னது
நான் யார் நான் யார் நான் யாரு சொல்லவா
நான் யார் நான் யார் நான் யாரு சொல்லவா
பசிக்கு
உயிருக்காக உயிரை கொன்றுதான்
தொடங்கி ருசியை தீர்க்கும் வேட்டைகாரன் நீ
அடுக்கு மாடி மேல மாடி கட்டதான்
தரைக்கு தண்ணி மேல மண்ணு போட்ட நீ

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a dark philosophical critique of human greed, hypocrisy, and societal corruption. It examines how human nature evolved from hunting merely for survival to destroying ecology and exploiting lives for luxury and pleasure. It highlights how money (the Gandhi note) dictates morality, while corrupt individuals masquerade under honorable disguises.
