போனா போறான் விட்டுடு அவன
பொம்பள பொறுக்கி போல இருக்கு
போனா போறான் விட்டுடு அவன
பொம்பள பொறுக்கி போல இருக்கு
திரும்பி வரான் நடையக் கட்டு
வம்புல மாட்டிப்போம் போலருக்கு
Let him go if he is going, leave him alone
He seems like a womanizer
Let him go if he is going, leave him alone
He seems like a womanizer
He is turning back, start walking away
It feels like we will get caught in trouble
ஒரு கும்பலக் கூட்டி உண்மைய சொன்னா
அசிங்கம் நமக்கு வேண்டான்டி
ஒரு ஆபத்துக் கூட ஆம்பளை இல்ல
கூக்குரல் போட்டு கத்தேன்டி
If we gather a crowd and tell the truth
We don't want disgrace, girl
There is no man around in times of danger
Shout out loud and scream, girl
போலீசு போலீசு போலீசு
அட... போனா போறான் விட்டுடு அவன

மச்சான் செஞ்ச கூத்தையெல்லாம்
மந்தையில் சொல்லட்டுமா..சொல்லு...
என் வயித்தில் ஒரு சாட்சி இருக்கு
வந்திட சொல்லட்டுமா
Shall I reveal all the antics my cousin did in the public square? Say it!
There is a witness in my womb
Shall I ask it to come out?
Shall I talk about how he touched my hand and touched my chastity?
என் கையை தொட்டு கற்ப தொட்ட
கதையைப் பேசட்டுமா
என் கர்ப்பத்துல கையை வச்சு
சத்தியம் செய்யட்டுமா
Let him place his hand on my womb
And take an oath
Saying the calf might butt, the bull is running away
Saying it finished grazing the millet field, it moves to another forest
கன்னுக்குட்டி முட்டுமுன்னு
காள மாடு ஓடுதம்மா
கம்பங்கொல்லை தீர்ந்ததுன்னு
காடு மாறிப் போகுதம்மா
ஓடும் மாட்ட வெரட்டிப் புடிச்சி

We must chase and catch the running bull
And shoe its hooves... hit him, guys!

கொல்லப் பக்கம் குளிச்சிருந்தேன்
குதிச்சு வந்தான்டி
கொஞ்சம் உதவி செய்றேன் பேர்வழின்னு
ஒடம்ப தொட்டான்டி
He initially said he would only scrub my back
I believed him looking at his face
He betrayed me
What can I say about the suffering I underwent?
முதுக மட்டும் தேய்க்கிறேன்னு
முதலில் சொன்னான்டி
மூஞ்சிய பார்த்து நம்பிபுட்டேன்
மோசம் செஞ்சான்டி
There is no one to stand as a witness
The village has gone bad
To whom can I cry out?
Female: Hey, I have people to take me to the UN Assembly
பட்டபாடு என்ன சொல்ல
சாட்சி சொல்ல யாருமில்ல
ஊரு கெட்டு கெடக்குதே
யாருக்கிட்ட சொல்லி அழ
ஐ.நா.சபைக்கு போக
எனக்கு ஆளு இருக்குது
I have people for that
Police, police, police

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This high-energy folk song from the 1988 Tamil movie 'Thaimel Aanai' features a satirical and dramatic exchange centered on confronting misconduct and trickery. The characters mock a rouge character, calling him out for deceitful behavior while using playful folk metaphors of bulls and fields to describe his slippery actions and evasiveness. Through rustic storytelling and direct humor, the characters raise a alarm for justice, invoking the police and expressing outrage over wrongdoing in a humorous, rhythmic style typical of late 1980s Tamil commercial cinema soundtrack duets.
