Haan…
OC sotha thinukinu
AC katha vaangikinu
Beachu mannula kundhikinu
Peela vudala
Kadhaliya kooptukinu
Kaapi shop thedikinu
Haya oora suthikinu
Jollya illa
Life nallaavum ilama
Dullavum illama
Dabaikudhu
Onnum peethika illama
Innatha naa paada
Bora keedhu
OC sotha thinukinu
AC katha vaangikinu
Beachu mannula kundhikinu
Peela vudala
Pa ba pa ba pain
Ettu kaalu poochi onnu
Ottu meesai vachukinnu
Pisthavaatam peter utta
Mersal aavadha
Ok va
Kaalai vaari vitukinnu
Mela yeri pora kannu
Kaaka oda dasha thinnu
Tension avatha
Theyadha veena inum
Dhoda un saapdae
Teayum bannum
Un routula travel pannu
Lesa nee saanjalum

Aaa….aaaaa…..
OK vaa..
Ippadi thaan paadanum
Pola irukudhu (Dialogue)
Haan...
Eating free food,
Soaking in the blast of AC,
Sitting on the beach sand,
I'm not spinning tall tales.
Taking my girlfriend along,
Hunting for a coffee shop,
Chilling and roaming around town,
I'm not having fun.
Life is neither good
nor totally dull,
it's just messing with me.
With nothing to boast about,
what on earth do I sing?
It's so boring.
Eating free food,
Soaking in the blast of AC,
Sitting on the beach sand,
I'm not spinning tall tales.
Pa-pa-pa-pa pain!
If an eight-legged spider
puts on a fake moustache
and acts like a big shot,
should I get scared?
Is that okay?
Tripping people up
with eyes set on climbing to the top,
eating a crow's meat,
should one get stressed?
Don't wear yourself out in vain;
look, your only meal is
tea and a bun!
Travel on your own route;
if you lean even slightly,
you'll bite the dust!
Eating free food,
Soaking in the blast of AC,
Sitting on the beach sand,
I'm not spinning tall tales.
Taking my girlfriend along,
Hunting for a coffee shop,
Chilling and roaming around town,
I'm not having fun.
Standing next to Nayanthara
and taking a selfie,
even an old granny showing off
goes viral!
Roaming around like a dog,
chasing and stalking girls,
all this love put on for show
is going to vanish!
This is a reckless world,
it gets you pissed off in a flash!
Let it go, just let it go!
Without spilling your sorrow,
just dance!
Eating free food,
Soaking in the blast of AC,
Sitting on the beach sand,
I'm not spinning tall tales.
Taking my girlfriend along,
Hunting for a coffee shop,
Chilling and roaming around town,
I'm not having fun.
Aah... Aaaah...
Got it?..
Looks like this is how
I'm supposed to sing! (Dialogue)

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song is a quintessential 'Gaana' style track packed with authentic Madras Baashai (Chennai local slang). It reflects the casual, laid-back mindset of a young man navigating the middle-class urban hustle. He humorously observes the absurdities of modern life—from show-offs and social media viral crazes to shallow romance and cutthroat competition. The core message encourages living simply within one's means without taking life's pressures too seriously. Instead of stressing over worldly ambitions or living a fake life of luxury ('Peter' talk, false prestige), the singer advises enjoying simple pleasures like tea, buns, and street-side banter, letting go of worries, and dancing through life.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Iyaipu (End Rhyme / Rhythm)

OC sotha thinukinu / AC katha vaangikinu / Beachu mannula kundhikinu

The lines end with the rhyming local suffix '-kinu' (thinukinu, vaangikinu, kundhikinu), creating a catchy rhythmic cadence typical of Chennai Gaana poetry.

Simile (Uvamai)

Naaya pola alanjukinnu

Compares uselessly roaming around in love to wandering aimlessly like a street dog ('Naaya pola').

Idiom / Metaphor

Lesa nee saanjalum / Vaayila mannu

'Vaayila mannu' (dirt in the mouth) is a colloquial Tamil idiom meaning to face total ruin, downfall, or severe loss.

Slang / Register (Madras Baashai)

Pisthavaatam peter utta / Mersal aavadha

Uses Chennai street terminology: 'Pistha' (big shot), 'Peter utta' (pretending to speak fluent English to show off), and 'Mersal' (shocked/stunned).
