Male :Hahahahahahah
Chorus :Heyy heyyya
I will give you two minutes
of time.
If you can, kill me
and save yourselves.
Hahahahaha!
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Let the parai (folk drums) tear it up!
Let the wild frenzy explode!
As our army rolls in,
it will thrash everyone to the ground!
It never misses,
when the thappu drum beats for me!
There isn't a single nerve that doesn't throb,
when the beat drops... strike it!
Until the dawn breaks,
let the floor scream in frenzy!
Before everything comes to an end,
cut down your arrogant moves!
Even the God of Death will meet his end,
if this man glares in rage!
Little brother, light the camphor for this god,
when he flashes a smile!
Search through every nook and corner
of the entire town!
To stand against him or raise a voice,
there's no big shot left anymore, my boy!
Hey hey!
Male: Hahahahaha!
Chorus: Hey heyy!
Male: Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
With every blow being struck,
let the thavil (barrel drum) rip open and hang loose!
Just from the echoing sound,
let them tell who delivered the hit!
My boy...
With every blow being struck,
let the thavil (barrel drum) rip open and hang loose!
Just from the echoing sound,
let them tell who delivered the hit!
Sobering up and wearing the sacred ash stripes,
he is the one stepping out!
"I'll hang you up and peel off your skin,"
is the warning given by our Master!
Let the parai (folk drums) tear it up!
Let the wild frenzy explode!
As our army rolls in,
it will thrash everyone to the ground!
It never misses,
when the thappu drum beats for me!
There isn't a single nerve that doesn't throb,
when the beat drops... strike it!
Until the dawn breaks,
let the floor scream in frenzy!
Before everything comes to an end,
cut down your arrogant moves!
Even the God of Death will meet his end,
if this man glares in rage!
Little brother, light the camphor for this god,
when he flashes a smile!
Hey hey!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Polakattum Para Para is an energetic mass-hero celebration track from the movie Master (2020). The song highlights the raw power, fearless attitude, and formidable aura of the protagonist (JD, played by Vijay). It mixes raw rustic folk beats with fierce lyrical warnings to enemies, depicting the hero as an unstoppable force who commands immense respect and fear.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Onomatopoeia (Etai Kilaivi / Adukku Thodaru)

“Polakattum para para”

Rhythmic, repetitive sound-words like 'para para', 'pada pada', and 'thara thara' mimic rapid action, percussion beats, and energetic movement.

Hyperbole (Uruvakamm / Uyervu Navirtchi)

“Yemanukkum saavundu Ivan moracha adadaa”

Exaggerating the protagonist's fierce glare by stating that even Yama (the god of death) would die if he glares.

Second-letter Rhyme (Edhugai)

“Polakattum para para / Therikattum alappara”

Matching second consonants in successive lines like 'Polakattum' and 'Therikattum' creates a strong Tamil poetic rhythm.
