ஆயிரம் உண்டு நட்சத்திரம் தாங்க
ஆனதுக்கெல்லாம் காரணம் நீங்க
ஆடையைத்தான் உரிஞ்சு பொண்ண
ஓடவிட்டு பாக்குற
ஆபாசம் இதுல இல்ல
நாங்க தாய்க்குலத்த ஆதரிக்க வந்த புள்ள
There are thousands of stars,
And you are the reason for all that came to be.
Stripping away her clothes,
Watching her run away...
There is no vulgarity in this,
We are children who came to support womankind.

கன்னிமலர் ஒன்று கற்புடனே வாழ
சின்ன சின்ன குருவிங்க பின்னி வெச்ச கூடு
மண்ணோட வாசத்த பொண்ணோட மானத்த
கண்ணாக மதிப்பது நம்ம தமிழ்நாடு
For a maiden flower to live with chastity,
Like a nest woven by tiny little sparrows,
The fragrance of the soil, the heart of a woman,
Cherishing them like eyes is our Tamil Nadu.
பாசத்தில் மெழுகா உருகிடும் பொம்பள
பாதிக்க நேர்ந்தால் முடிவோ வம்புல
புத்துக்குள்ள பாம்பிருந்தா குத்தமில்ல
அது புத்திக்குள்ள இருந்தா சுத்தமில்ல
A woman melts like wax in affection,
If harmed, the end turns into trouble!
There is no fault if a snake resides inside an anthill,
If it resides inside one's intellect, it isn't pure!

பாண்டவர் போர் முடிக்க
பாஞ்சாலி தலை முடிக்க
பாத்திருக்கோம் அந்தக் கதை பாரதக் கதை
பாலுக்கு காவலென்னும்
பகல் வேஷ பூனைக்கெல்லாம்
பாடத்த சொல்லுமிது பாமரக் கதை
To end the war for the Pandavas,
To tie Panchali's unbraided hair,
We have preserved that story, the grand story.
Believing to guard the milk,
To all the hypocritical cats in disguise,
This commoner's tale teaches a lesson.
பூமியும் பொண்ணும்

குழு :
எங்களுக்கு தேவ உங்களோட ஓட்டு
டிக்கெட்டு கவுண்டர நெறைக்கணும் நோட்டு
The earth and women,
Are the very embodiments of patience,
If an earthquake strikes, the world perishes!
Do not test the truth,
Do not extend wrong paths in front of the people!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This meta-narrative track serves as a self-referential introductory or promotional performance song within the film. The singers present themselves as filmmakers and storytellers appealing directly to the general audience ('Podhu makkalae') to watch their film and support their creation. They stress that their work is not intended to exploit women or display obscenity, but rather to honor and defend womankind ('thaaikkulaththa aadharikka vantha pulla'). Through metaphors drawn from Tamil culture and epics like the Mahabharata (Panchali's vow), the lyrics compare women's resilience and patience to the Earth—gentle until provoked, after which their anger can lead to destruction. Ultimately, the song blends street-play social messaging with cinematic meta-humor, inviting audiences to buy tickets and shower their love and votes upon the crew.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Paasamennum nooleduththu”
Affection is compared to a thread ('Paasamennum nool') used to string fragrant flowers, symbolizing the crafting of a heartfelt narrative.
Wordplay / Paronomasia (Amonai / Etukai)
“Puththukkulla paambirrunthaa kuththamilla / Adhu puththikkulla irunthaa suththamilla”
A clever phonetic contrast between 'Puththu' (anthill) and 'Puththi' (mind/intellect), warning that venom in thought is worse than a snake in an anthill.
Simile (Upamai)
“Paasaththil mezhugaa urugidum pombala”
Compares a woman's emotional vulnerability in love to melting wax ('mezhugaa urugidum pombala').
Alliteration (Monai)
“Pandaval por mudikka / Panjaali thalai mudikka”
Repetition of the 'Pa' consonant sound across lines ('Pandaval', 'Panjaali', 'Paththirukkom').

Trivia
This track features meta-cinematic lyricism penned by Thirupathooran, common in late 1980s Tamil cinema street-drama sequences where characters break the fourth wall to speak directly to the theater audience.
