Naanga jail-kku poiruvom( Dialogue)
Hey, stop it, you guys!
Always getting drunk
and scolding us women!
Are you guys so righteous? (Dialogue)
Is he good, or is he bad?
A man...
Without knowing the truth, she suffers,
the woman!
Oh, among men,
I haven't seen an honorable one.
On this earth anymore,
I don't think one will ever be born!
Not a single man
knows how to respect a woman.
What anger they hold against us,
I simply cannot understand!
All men
cheat women!
Is God a man too?
Because He never punishes them!
Women, he always
treats like an intoxicating object.
Calling her his deer, honey, and peacock,
he tells lies to trap her!
Love and lust,
he thinks are one and the same!
If she feels pity and gives in,
he claims ownership and struts around!
Women...
he always
thinks are fit only
for the bed every single day!
Once his desire
is done and satisfied,
searching for the next woman,
he wanders around like a stray dog!
All men
cheat women!
Is God a man too?
Because He never punishes them!
Hey, hey, stop it, lady!
Who are you?
Where did you come from?
Female: I'm just getting out
after twenty years in jail!
Male: That's why
you know nothing about women!
Now listen to this! (Dialogue)
Why did you create women,
oh God?
All our peace of mind
is completely gone, oh God!
Both her eyes
are like cobras, oh God!
Just one look from her,
and poison rushes through us, oh God!
Even her smile
is a hangman's noose, oh God!
Getting caught in it,
we hang by our necks, oh God!
You put an end to the games men play
by using a woman!
But because you created these women,
you're trapped and struggling too!
To a man,
a woman is always a Shakuni (cunning schemer)!
Wondering what she will do and when,
you'd better watch her closely!
If there is a car and money,
she will even hold his feet!
Talking on and on about love,
she empties out his pockets!
When women prick like thorns,
those women...
the poets who called them flowers—
throw them down and stomp on them!
For women who get out of hand,
the ones who raised them wrong,
the fathers—hey!
Sorry, buddy!
The mothers—
tie them up and beat them!
All men
cheat women!
Is God a man too?
Because He never punishes them!
Is he good, or is he bad?
A man...
Without knowing the truth, she suffers,
the woman!
Hey, look here, lady!
Just leave quietly!
Otherwise, we'll chop you up
and head straight to jail! (Dialogue)

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song presents a comical, back-and-forth battle of the sexes set in a theatrical light. A female character confronts a group of men, accusing all men of being unfaithful, hypocritical, and objectifying women under the guise of love. She laments that society and God favor men despite their flaws.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Edhugai (Second letter rhyme)
“Aambalainga ellaarumae / Emaathuraan ponnungala”
Matching second consonants across lines to create rhythmic symmetry, seen in 'Aambalainga' / 'Emaathuraan' and 'Mullaa' / 'Ada poovunu'.
Simile (Upaman) / Metaphor
“Ava kannu rendum / Nalla paamba kadavulae”
Comparing a woman's eyes to a cobra, her smile to a hangman's noose, and a woman's cunning nature to Shakuni.
Repetition / Alliteration (Monaai)
“Maanae thaenae mayilenu thaan”
Use of rhythmic conversational Tamil refrains like 'Maane theane mayilenu' for poetic exaggeration.
