Adi oongi adi
Ready avana pudi
Rowdy kellaam schooling illa
Katthi kellam feeling illa
Baap ka baap kaun hai
Saala baap ka baap kaun hai
Adi oongi adi
Raaman pinna hanuman ninnaan
Adhanaale thaane pagaiyellaam konnaan
Arjunan pinna kannan ninnaan
Adhanaale thaane avan karnana konnaan
Un pinnale yaarum illai
Unna pola yevanum illai
Baap ka baap kaun hai

Adi oongi adi
Kanneera pola veenaaaga maataan
Veerattha pola veela maataan
Porukkaaga yenga maataan
Poru vandha vizhi thoonga maataan
Jaichaanunna simhasanam
Thotthaanunna veera maranam
Baap ka baap kaun hai

Strike, strike him hard!
Get ready, catch him!
Gangsters never go to school,
Blades do not have feelings.
Who is the daddy of all daddies?
Damn it, who is the daddy of all daddies?
Strike, strike him hard!
Hanuman stood behind Rama,
And that is how he destroyed all his foes.
Krishna stood behind Arjuna,
And that is how he defeated Karna.
There is no one standing behind you,
And there is nobody quite like you!
Who is the daddy of all daddies?
Damn it, who is the daddy of all daddies?
Strike, strike him hard!
He will not go to waste like tears,
He will not fall like mere pride,
He will not crave a war,
But if war comes, his eyes will not sleep.
If he wins, the throne is his,
If he loses, it is a hero's death.
Who is the daddy of all daddies?
Damn it, who is the daddy of all daddies?
Strike, strike him hard!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic and ferocious anthem celebrates an imposing, self-reliant warrior figure who commands authority in a ruthless world. Unlike mythological heroes like Rama or Arjuna who relied on divine guardians behind them, this protagonist stands entirely alone, unrivaled in power and conviction.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Allusion

“Raaman pinna hanuman ninnaan”

References mythological figures from the Ramayana and Mahabharata (Rama, Hanuman, Arjuna, Krishna, Karna) to contrast legendary heroes who had allies with the protagonist who stands entirely alone.

End Rhyme

“Rowdy kellaam schooling illa”

Pairs 'schooling illa' and 'feeling illa' to create a rhythmic, punchy parallel between a street outlaw and an unfeeling weapon.

Antithesis

“Jaichaanunna simhasanam”

Contrasts the ultimate high-stakes outcomes of victory (taking the throne) versus defeat (achieving a martyr's death).
