Did the whole town gather together,
Wondering why at him
They are staring so intently?
The whole town gathering together...
All kinds of fears,
Some strange fear,
What are you going to do?
All kinds of fears,
Some strange fear.
Did the whole town gather together,
Wondering why at him
They are staring so intently?
The whole town gathering together...
He is running off somewhere, man!
Where will he run?
What will he search for?
No way, he is running off somewhere, man!
All kinds of fears,
Some strange fear,
What are you going to do?
All kinds of fears,
Some strange fear,
All kinds of fears,
Some strange fear.
Where will you go and stop?
All kinds of fears,
Some strange fear.
Want to forget all your worries?
Have a drink, man, take a drink!
Have a drink, man, take a drink!
If you don't fly after having a drink,
Have a drink, man, take a drink!
Have a drink, man, take a drink!
Pour it, pour it, pour a full glass!
Down it, down it, get a good high!
A person without any worries,
Who is there in this whole world?
Change it, change it,
Pour and change it,
Get high until you're breathless!
Everything you have ever longed for,
Learn to enjoy it all, man!
...
Come, let's play hide-and-seek!
Come on, let's play and see!
Come on, let's face our fears!
Come on, let's reach the top!
Come on, let's cross our destiny!
Come on, let's beat every plot!
Come on, let's carry our wisdom!
Come on toward a new path!
Come on, come!
Is this destiny,
Or is it a conspiracy?
Even to God Himself,
Did you tell a lie?
Deep inside my whole heart,
You are the only one who lives.
I carry you within me.
On every path you take,
As a shadow just for you,
Shall I walk along with you?
Want to forget all your worries?
Have a drink, man, take a drink!
Have a drink, man, take a drink!
If you don't fly after having a drink,
Have a drink, man, take a drink!
Have a drink, man, take a drink!
Pour it, pour it, pour a full glass!
Down it, down it, get a good high!
A person without any worries,
Who is there in this whole world?
Change it, change it,
Pour and change it,
Get high until you're breathless!
Everything you have ever longed for,
Learn to enjoy it all, man!
Everything will happen, come on!
We will win over anything, come on!
Overcome the hurdles and come on!
Face your hesitation and come on!
Cross the whole world and come on!
Walk your own path and come on!
While this earth is here, come on!
While God is here, come on!
Is this destiny,
Or is it a conspiracy?
Even to God Himself,
Did you tell a lie?
Did the whole town gather together,
Wondering why at him
They are staring so intently?
The whole town gathering together...
All kinds of fears,
Some strange fear,
What are you going to do?
All kinds of fears,
Some strange fear.
The whole town...
He is running off somewhere, man!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic and gritty song from the movie 'Vandi' (2018) captures a tense, chaotic atmosphere filled with paranoia, escape, and solidarity among friends. The opening lines portray a protagonist who feels scrutinised by society, overwhelmed by existential fears, and constantly on the run from an uncertain fate or trouble. To escape this pressure and anxiety, the lyrics pivot into a wild, hedonistic drinking anthem encouraging one to drink away their worries, arguing that no human on earth is free from trouble.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Iyaipu (Rhyming Refrain)

Kannamooochi aada vaa / Aadi parpom vaada vaa / Achcham ethirka vaada vaa

Repetition of the rhythmic ending phrase 'vaada vaa' across consecutive lines creates an energetic, repetitive end rhyme (Iyaipu).

Repetition (Adukkuthodar)

Sarakadidaa sarakadidaa / Oothu oothu fulla oothu

Emphasis through doubled words ('sarakadidaa', 'oothu oothu') reinforces the fast-paced, festive mood and colloquial slang.

Metaphor

Povum vazhiyellaam / Nizhala unakku thaan

The speaker metaphorically promises to be a 'shadow' (nizhal) and an 'umbrella' (koda) for their companion, symbolizing unwavering support and companionship.

Muran (Antithesis)

Ithu vithiya / Illana sathiya

Contrasting concepts of destiny/fate ('vithiya') versus reality/truth ('sathiya') to express confusion over life's uncontrollable circumstances.
