This is our home, this is indeed a golden home
This is our home, this is indeed a golden home
Today is the rainy day in our forest (meaning luck has showered on us today)
To the leader who gave us this golden home
Our heartful thanks...
நம் வீடுதான் இது பொன் வீடுதான்
நம் வீடுதான் இது பொன் வீடுதான்
நம் காட்டிலே மழை நாள் இன்றுதான்
பொன் வீடு தந்த தலைவனுக்கு
எங்கள் நன்றிதான்.......
This is our home, this is indeed a golden home
This is our home, this is indeed a golden home
நம் வீடுதான் இது பொன் வீடுதான்
நம் வீடுதான் இது பொன் வீடுதான்
Desires numbered in thousands of crores
I will keep them suppressed, closed inside my heart
I will act in a drama, go away girl
Hey, there is an open terrace right here
ஆசைகள் ஆயிரம் கோடி
அதை அடக்கி வைப்பேன் நெஞ்சில் மூடி
நாடகம் ஆடுவேன் போடி
அடி இருக்கிறதே மொட்ட மாடி
I will jump, I will jump
Who is there to question or hear that?
Oh, very soon
I will become a cinema star
A house like this,
See later how many more like this I will own!
குதிப்பேன் குதிப்பேன்
அதைக் கேட்பது யாரு
ஓஹ்ஹோ கூடிய விரைவில்
நான் சினிமா ஸ்டாரு
இதுபோல் வீடு எத்தனை வேணும் அப்புறம் பாரு
This is our home, this is indeed a golden home
Today is the rainy day in our forest (meaning luck has showered on us today)
To the leader who gave us this golden home
Our heartful thanks...
ஓஹ் ஹோ ஓஹ் ஹோ
ஓஹ் ஹோ ஓஹ் ஹோ
This is our home, this is indeed a golden home
நம் வீடுதான் இது பொன் வீடுதான்....
நம் காட்டிலே மழை நாள் இன்றுதான்
பொன் வீடு தந்த தலைவனுக்கு

Freedom, freedom, freedom!
Freedom from the nuisance of the house owner... freedom...
Freedom from paying rent too

Freedom from all the annoyances!
This is my house, seek happiness in it

Latch the door, now it is your turn to enjoy
Male: Hey, daily I will seek a thousand kisses

Hey, let happiness come daily, day and night from now on
Hammer nails all over the house,
விடுதலை விடுதலை விடுதலை
வீட்டுக்காரன் தொல்லையை விட்டு
விடுதலை.....விடுதலை.....
வாடகைக்கும் விடுதலை
அட்வான்ஸுக்கும் விடுதலை
புரோக்கருக்கும் விடுதலை
புடுங்கலுக்கும் விடுதலை
And hang the landlord up!
Sing as you wish, make all kinds of noise
Play mancala even while taking a bath in the bathroom
Hopping and leaping in a grove of pearls
என்னோட வீடு இதில் இன்பங்கள் தேடு
தாப்பாளப் போடு இனி உன்னோட பாடு
அடி நித்தமே ஆயிரம் முத்தமே தேடுவேன்
பத்தியம் கிடையாது
அடி நிதமும் வரவே இனி பகலும் இரவே
அடி நிதமும் வரவே இனி பகலும் இரவே
This is our family crowd, a garden of joy
Now luck will arrive, a color TV will arrive
There is no sorrow anymore, luxurious pleasure will arrive
Like a honeybee sipping nectar from now on
நம் வீடுதான் இது பொன் வீடுதான்
நம் காட்டிலே மழை நாள் இன்றுதான்
பொன் வீடு தந்த தலைவனுக்கு
எங்கள் நன்றிதான்.......
நம் வீடுதான் இது பொன் வீடுதான்
My life is a celebration
I will fly forever and laugh
I will fly forever and laugh
After 10 o'clock, the main door won't be locked here
வீடு புல்லா ஆணி அடிச்சு
வீட்டுக்காரனை மாட்டுங்க
இஷ்டப்படி பாடுங்க எல்லா சத்தமும் போடுங்க
பாத்ரூம்ல குளிச்சிகிட்டே பல்லாங்குழியும் ஆடுங்க
While reading the newspaper, the light won't be turned off
I will celebrate wildly, I will float in water
I will celebrate wildly, I will float in water
When the mood strikes, I will run around and play tag throughout the entire house
முத்துச்சோலையில் தத்தித் தாவுது
எங்கள் கூட்டம் இது இன்பத் தோட்டம்
இனி யோகம் வரும் கலர் டிவி வரும்
ஒரு துன்பம் இல்லை சுகபோகம் வரும்
இனி தேன் உண்ணும் வண்டாட்டம்
என் பாடு கொண்டாட்டம்
பறப்பேன் என்றும் சிரிப்பேன்
பறப்பேன் என்றும் சிரிப்பேன்......
பத்து மணிக்கு மேலே இங்கே கதவடைக்காது
பத்திரிக்கை படிக்கையிலே வெளக்கணையாது
தாறுமாறா அடிப்பேன் நான் தண்ணியிலே மெதப்பேன்
தாறுமாறா அடிப்பேன் நான் தண்ணியிலே மெதப்பேன்
மூடு வந்தா வீடு புல்லா நான் ஓடியாடி பிடிப்பேன்
நம் வீடுதான் இது பொன் வீடுதான்
நம் காட்டிலே மழை நாள் இன்றுதான்
பொன் வீடு தந்த தலைவனுக்கு
எங்கள் நன்றிதான்.......
நம் வீடுதான் இது பொன் வீடுதான்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This jubilant song celebrates the joy of finally owning a home and moving out of rented accommodation. The family expresses immense relief from the constant headaches associated with rented living—such as strict house owners, monthly rent, huge advance payments, broker fees, and restrictive rules regarding noise, lights, or hammering nails into walls.
