யெஹ் நூறு நூறு நூறா
படம் காட்டி நடிப்பேன்
Showing excitement,

Showing swiftness,
It is pure swiftness itself.
அடங்கொய்யா அடங்கொய்யா
இந்த காந்தி நோட்டு பொய்யா
நம்ம கையில் இது வந்தா போதும்
ஆட்டம் தாங்காதையா
Showing excitement,
It is pure excitement itself,
Showing swiftness,
It is pure swiftness itself.

இவன்கிட்ட வாங்கணும்
அத்தன பயலையும் திவாலாக்கணும்

'Come, my king, come,' says
Kodambakkam itself!
If it opens its mouth and calls,
Life will become heaven itself!
ஏ தூத்தெறிக்க மாலை
அந்த பழனி மலை மேல
அவன் கையில் உள்ள வேலு

Must get money from him,
Must get money from her,
Every single guy,
Must be made bankrupt!
The one who asks back the money he gave,
Is coming around!
My dirty lungi,
I will take it off and hand it over, man!
பறபற காட்டி பறபறப்பேதான்
சரசர காட்டி சரசரக்கேதான்
Venus in our horoscope chart,
Is going to elevate us to the peak!
A small shorts and two underwear,
That is my entire wealth, man!

Garland of restless energy,
Up on that Palani hill,
The spear in Lord Murugan's hand,
Will grant us a fine day!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic folk-pop track captures the wild ambitions, street-smart survival spirit, and carefree attitude of a youth trying to make it big in the cinema hub of Chennai (Kodambakkam). Coming from Thoothukudi, the protagonist lives a bohemian lifestyle with minimal possessions, dreaming of stardom, financial luck, and recognition in the Tamil film industry despite endless struggles and debts.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Emona / Monai (Alliteration)
“Hey thutharikka maala / Namma thoothukudi aala”
Repetition of the initial sound 'Th' across words in the same line.
Edhugai (Second Letter Rhyme)
“Parapara kaatti / Sarasara kaatti”
Matching second letter 'ra' across consecutive lines.
Simile (Upamana)
“Intha kadal kaathu pola / Dhinam suthi suthi vaalae”
Comparing the protagonist's roaming nature directly to the sea breeze using 'pola'.
Hyperbole (Athisayokthi)
“Kazhudha saapudum / Postera maaranum”
Exaggerating the obsession with cinema by expressing a desire to become a poster even if eaten by a donkey.
