| Male | |
| Onna onna otha adiyila naanga | With a single blow, one by one, we will |
| Konnu konnu podhappom | Kill you and bury you. |
| Enna enna vittu vidu yena neeyum | Even if you beg us, 'Please let me go, let me go,' |
| Kenja kenja midhippom | As you plead, we will trample you underfoot. |
| Male | |
| Panni panni onna neruppula vaatti | Like a pig, we will roast you over the fire, |
| Thinnu thinnu mudippom | And finish you off by devouring you. |
| Enni enni motha elumbaiyum paethu | We will count and rip out every single bone of yours, |
| Thonga thonga murippom | And snap them until they hang limp. |
| Male | |
| Vaadaa vaadaa…. vaadaa vaadaa…. | Come on, come on... come on, come on... |
| Male | |
| Kari thuni yena onna kizhikkanum | We must tear you apart like a burnt kitchen rag, |
| Varakaduppula vachu erikkanum | Burn you on a dry hearth, |
| Nadu theruvula suttu varukkanum | Roast and fry you right in the middle of the street, |
| Makki makki makki po | Rot away, rot away, rot away and vanish! |
| Male | |
| Aattaadha on vaala moodu moodu | Don't wag your tail—shut it up and hide it! |
| Kaattaadha nee vaela odu odu | Don't show off your tricks—run, run away! |
| Kola kolaiyaa kola kolaiyaa serndhu | Gathering together in huge crowds and masses, |
| Mosa paeiya mallaatthu daa | Lay that wicked demon flat on its back! |
| Thala thalaiyaa thala thalaiyaa vaangi | Taking charge, head by head, |
| Oora joraa munnaethu daa | Proudly lead and uplift the village! |
| Adiyila madiyila sediyila kodiyila | At the base, in the lap, in plants, in creepers, |
| Vazhiyila vidiyala padiyala mudiyala | On the path, at dawn, on steps, this cannot go on... |
| Male | |
| Thulla thulla onna tharaiyla pottu | While you squirm and thrash, we'll slam you to the ground |
| Manna manna kumippom | And heap piles of dirt over you. |
| Solla solla rendu muzhiyaiyum thondi | As we speak, gouging out both your eyes, |
| Bonga bonga avizhppom | We will hollow you out completely. |
| Male | |
| Onna innum pichu | Tearing you apart even further, |
| On mela uppu vachu | Rubbing salt all over you, |
| Uppukkandam pottu thovaiyal araippom | We will turn you into salted dried meat and grind you into chutney! |
| Ammi kallil nachu | Crushing you on a grinding stone, |
| On aanavattha thachu | Nailing down your arrogance, |
| Vanjagatha theethu vazhakka jeyippom | We will eradicate treachery and win our justice! |
ஒன்ன ஒன்ன ஒத்த அடியில நாங்க
கொன்னு கொன்னு பொதப்போம்
என்ன என்ன விட்டு விடு என நீயும்
கெஞ்ச கெஞ்ச மிதிப்போம்
With a single blow, one by one, we will
Kill you and bury you.
Even if you beg us, 'Please let me go, let me go,'
As you plead, we will trample you underfoot.
ஆண்கள் :
கண்ண நல்லா கட்டி
உன் கால நல்லா கட்டி
கத்தக் கத்த நாங்க பொரட்டி எடுப்போம்
முன்ன வந்து முட்டி
ஓம் மூஞ்ச ரொட்டி தட்டி
எட்டி எட்டி ஓட வெரட்டி அடிப்போம்
Like a pig, we will roast you over the fire,
And finish you off by devouring you.
We will count and rip out every single bone of yours,
And snap them until they hang limp.
பன்னி பன்னி ஒன்ன நெருப்புல வாட்டி
தின்னு தின்னு முடிப்போம்
எண்ணி எண்ணி மொத்த எலும்பயும் பேத்து
தொங்க தொங்க முறிப்போம்
Come on, come on... come on, come on...
ஆண்கள் :
பல்லு செட்ட கழட்டி
நீ பாக்க சப்பு கொட்டி
குத்தி குத்தி சாச்சு கொழுப்பக் கொறைப்போம்
இந்தா இந்தா வட்டி
நீ வாங்கிக்கன்னு சொல்லி
எத்தி எத்தி நாங்க திருப்பிக் கொடுப்போம்
We must tear you apart like a burnt kitchen rag,
Burn you on a dry hearth,
Roast and fry you right in the middle of the street,
Rot away, rot away, rot away and vanish!
வாடா வாடா... வாடா வாடா...
Don't wag your tail—shut it up and hide it!
Don't show off your tricks—run, run away!
Gathering together in huge crowds and masses,
Lay that wicked demon flat on its back!
Taking charge, head by head,
Proudly lead and uplift the village!
At the base, in the lap, in plants, in creepers,
On the path, at dawn, on steps, this cannot go on...
கரித் துணி என ஒன்னக் கிழிக்கணும்
வர கடுப்புல வச்சு எரிக்கணும்
நடு தெருவுல சுட்டு வறுக்கணும்
மக்கி மக்கி மக்கி போ
While you squirm and thrash, we'll slam you to the ground
And heap piles of dirt over you.
As we speak, gouging out both your eyes,
We will hollow you out completely.
ஆட்டாதே ஒன் வால மூடு மூடு
காட்டாதே நீ வேல ஓடு ஓடு
கொல கொலயா கொல கொலயா சேந்து
மோசப் பேய மல்லாத்துடா
தல தலையா தல தலையா வாங்கி
ஊர ஜோரா முன்னேத்துடா
அடியில மடியில செடியில கொடியில
வழியில விடியல படியல முடியல
Tearing you apart even further,
Rubbing salt all over you,
We will turn you into salted dried meat and grind you into chutney!
Crushing you on a grinding stone,
Nailing down your arrogance,
We will eradicate treachery and win our justice!
துள்ள துள்ள ஒன்ன தரையில போட்டு
மண்ண மண்ண குமிப்போம்
சொல்ல சொல்ல ரெண்டு முழியையும் தோண்டி
போங்க போங்க அவிழ்ப்போம்
ஒன்ன இன்னும் பிச்சு
ஓம் மேல உப்ப வச்சு
உப்புக் கண்டம் போட்டு தொவையல் அரைப்போம்
அம்மிக் கல்லில் நச்சு
ஓன் ஆணவத்த தச்சு
வஞ்சகத்த தீத்து வழக்க ஜெயிப்போம்
Onna onna otha adiyila naanga
With a single blow, one by one, we will
Konnu konnu podhappom
Kill you and bury you.
Enna enna vittu vidu yena neeyum
Even if you beg us, 'Please let me go, let me go,'
Kenja kenja midhippom
As you plead, we will trample you underfoot.
Panni panni onna neruppula vaatti
Like a pig, we will roast you over the fire,
Thinnu thinnu mudippom
And finish you off by devouring you.
Enni enni motha elumbaiyum paethu
We will count and rip out every single bone of yours,
Thonga thonga murippom
And snap them until they hang limp.
Vaadaa vaadaa…. vaadaa vaadaa….
Come on, come on... come on, come on...
Kari thuni yena onna kizhikkanum
We must tear you apart like a burnt kitchen rag,
Varakaduppula vachu erikkanum
Burn you on a dry hearth,
Nadu theruvula suttu varukkanum
Roast and fry you right in the middle of the street,
Makki makki makki po
Rot away, rot away, rot away and vanish!
Aattaadha on vaala moodu moodu
Don't wag your tail—shut it up and hide it!
Kaattaadha nee vaela odu odu
Don't show off your tricks—run, run away!
Kola kolaiyaa kola kolaiyaa serndhu
Gathering together in huge crowds and masses,
Mosa paeiya mallaatthu daa
Lay that wicked demon flat on its back!
Thala thalaiyaa thala thalaiyaa vaangi
Taking charge, head by head,
Oora joraa munnaethu daa
Proudly lead and uplift the village!
Adiyila madiyila sediyila kodiyila
At the base, in the lap, in plants, in creepers,
Vazhiyila vidiyala padiyala mudiyala
On the path, at dawn, on steps, this cannot go on...
Thulla thulla onna tharaiyla pottu
While you squirm and thrash, we'll slam you to the ground
Manna manna kumippom
And heap piles of dirt over you.
Solla solla rendu muzhiyaiyum thondi
As we speak, gouging out both your eyes,
Bonga bonga avizhppom
We will hollow you out completely.
Onna innum pichu
Tearing you apart even further,
On mela uppu vachu
Rubbing salt all over you,
Uppukkandam pottu thovaiyal araippom
We will turn you into salted dried meat and grind you into chutney!
Ammi kallil nachu
Crushing you on a grinding stone,
On aanavattha thachu
Nailing down your arrogance,
Vanjagatha theethu vazhakka jeyippom
We will eradicate treachery and win our justice!
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a fierce, aggressive anthem of revenge and social uprising from the movie 'Maaveeran Kittu'. Set against the backdrop of systemic oppression, the song serves as a collective war cry from the oppressed villagers towards their tyrannical oppressors. The lyrics express visceral rage, vowing to dismantle the oppressor's authority through relentless resistance and symbolic retribution. Using raw, visceral rural imagery—such as roasting, crushing on a grinding stone, and turning the enemy into salted meat—lyricist Yugabharathi captures the deep-seated anger accumulated over years of injustice. The thematic core shifts from violent threats to a call for unity, urging the villagers to stand tall, eradicate evil, and reclaim their dignity and rights.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Konnu konnu podhappom / Kenja kenja midhippom / Thinnu thinnu mudippom”
The lines end with rhythmic, rhyming verbal suffixes ('podhappom', 'midhippom', 'mudippom', 'murippom'), enhancing the chant-like cadence of a battle cry.
Simile (Uwamai)
“Kari thuni yena onna kizhikkanum”
Uses 'yena' (like) to compare tearing down the enemy's pride to ripping apart a worthless kitchen cloth.
Ethugai (Assonance - Second Letter Rhyme)
“Thulla thulla onna tharaiyla pottu / Solla solla rendu muzhiyaiyum thondi”
The second letter sound 'lla' in 'Thulla' and 'Solla' creates a strong rhythmic harmony across consecutive stanzas.
Hyperbole & Metaphor
“Uppukkandam pottu thovaiyal araippom / Ammi kallil nachu”
Uses extreme folk metaphor and hyperbole (grinding the enemy into chutney on a stone grinder) to visually symbolize the absolute destruction of arrogance.
