Two buttons on our shirts will remain unbuttoned
If there is a fight in town, our voice will be heard loudest

Without any stain, stain, stain
If someone acts smart or messy, we will strike and deal with them

A restless, energetic group of brothers
When it comes to helping others, we do not care about shame or pride
Come and see our village
The local cinema tent there is full of energy
No matter whose movie is playing on screen
We are the ultimate heroes there

A grand, lively gathering
Dancing non-stop day and night
We will extract palm fruit from anyone who refuses to bow down

We are wild and mischievous boys
But our hearts are as pure as freshly milked milk
If we say the crow is white and the stork is black, just agree and listen to us!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from 'Veeram' serves as a high-energy introductory track for the protagonist and his brothers. It establishes their local reputation as rugged, fearless, and slightly mischievous men in their village who live life on their own terms. Despite their tough exterior—marked by unbuttoned shirts, involvement in local brawls, and overwhelming presence—they possess pure hearts and an unyielding commitment to helping anyone in need without pride or hesitation.
