Pasikku
Uyirukaaga uyirai kondruthan
Thodangi rusiyai theerkum vettaikaran nee
Aduku maadi mela madi kattadhaan
Tharaiku thani mela mannu pota nee
Inga eppo naalavan eppo ketavan
Badhil gandhi note sollum yaaru uthaman
Oru kodi poigalin naduve unmaiya
Andha kootathile naanum ullen yaaraiyaa
Naa yaar naa yaar naa yaaru sollava
Naa yaar naa yaar naa yaaru sollava
Pasikku
Uyirukaaga uyirai kondruthan
Thalaivargal nooru

Nilamayil naadu irundhaal

For hunger,
Killing one life to keep another alive,
You began, but now you hunt just for the taste.
Just to build floor upon floor,
You dumped earth over water to make ground.
Who is good here and who is bad?
The Gandhi banknote tells you who is righteous.
Is there truth amidst ten million lies?
I am in that crowd too, so who am I, my friend?
Who am I, who am I, shall I tell you who I am?
Who am I, who am I, shall I tell you who I am?
For hunger,
Killing one life to keep another alive,
A hundred leaders,
Yet who is there when needed?
If the country remains in this state,
How will this land ever flourish?
All the thieves
Wear masks of respectability,
Honesty and justice are left in the air
As useless lessons.
This is the law of the world,
The law of the world.
Who said it? Haha...
Nodding its head as it walked up,
Only to get its throat slashed,
The goat said it.
For hunger,
Killing one life to keep another alive,
You began, but now you hunt just for the taste.
Just to build floor upon floor,
You dumped earth over water to make ground.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

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.
