Ah, here is a brand new drink, man!
If you drink it, you will get a solid kick, man!
Gulp it down fast, man!
If you refuse this, you are not a real man!
Chasing after the new,
the one who forgets the old,
is not a real human on this earth, man!
He is no human on this earth, man!
Chasing after the new,
the one who forgets the old,
is not a real human on this earth, man!
He is no human on this earth, man!
Ah, to reminisce about old times,
and look back at them now,
I brought a drink for you here, man!
This should become a permanent habit
for you, man!
Hey dinga dingdi dingu dinga
Hey dinga dingdi dingu dinga
Going back to past mistakes,
you can never correct them, man!
You can never fix them again, man!
Going back to past mistakes,
you can never correct them, man!
You can never fix them again, man!
You sly old rogue,
pushing me into a ditch,
you are the chief of all sinners, man!
He is the chief of all sinners, man!
Hey, leaving your family behind,
you stepped aside,
wearing saffron clothes,
you are hiding away!
Hey, why are you chasing me
to make me drink?
Why do you beat your mouth in grief
and suffer like this?
Chasing after the new,
the one who forgets the old,
is not a real human on this earth, man!
He is no human on this earth, man!
Offered up to God Himself,
the holy drink is right here!
Ask God honestly, if you doubt it!
Tell me, why do you have any doubt here?
To bring cool relief
to the earth, there is rain!
To cool us down, here is this brew!
Seek this intoxicating, unique pleasure!
Ah, this path will never, ever
change!
Chorus: Hey hey
Male: Step aside, your path will never join with mine!
Chorus: Hoo hoo
Hey, long ago, even the gods in heaven
drank this very potion!
Chorus: Hey hey
Male: So don't say no to it
today!
Chorus: Hoo hoo
Hey, the three of us who once
shared our food and ate together,
don't forget those days! Hey hey hey hey
Ah, this is not food,
it will only push you into the gutter!
Don't destroy your integrity!
Ah, is this the time to advise
people who are already drunk?
Chasing after the new,
the one who forgets the old,
is not a real human on this earth, man!
He is no human on this earth, man!
Ah, to reminisce about old times,
and look back at them now,
I brought a drink for you here, man!
This should become a permanent habit
for you, man!
Hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy
Hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy
Hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy
Hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy
...
There is a woman waiting at home,
and when has fate ever kept to a schedule?
Why this mind of renunciation, my friend?
Throw that away and come over here, man!
As long as you have your age,
your youth will stand by your side!
Come dive into the pond of spring!
Drink this sweet nectar and leap with joy, man!
Ah, the wild cactus by the roadside
never gives off a sweet fragrance!
Chorus: Hey hey
Male: If you keep it near your house,
it brings good to no one!
Chorus: Hoo hoo
Ah, won't you kindly listen
to my friendly advice?
Chorus: Hey hey
Male: If we celebrate life like you do,
is it really wrong, man?
Chorus: Hoo hoo
Hey hey, this holy water of joy that wipes away sorrow,
don't think of it as a sin!
Hey hey hey hey haha
Having bathed in rosewater and standing clean,
don't push me into the filthy gutter!
Ah, there is no useless fellow like you
anywhere in this world!
Chasing after the new,
the one who forgets the old,
is not a real human on this earth, man!
He is no human on this earth, man!
Ah, to reminisce about old times,
and look back at them now,
I brought a drink for you here, man!
This should become a permanent habit
for you, man!
Hey, leaving your family behind,
you stepped aside,
wearing saffron clothes,
you are hiding away!
Hey, why are you chasing me
to make me drink?
Why do you beat your mouth in grief
and suffer like this?
Chasing after the new,
the one who forgets the old,
is not a real human on this earth, man!
He is no human on this earth, man!
Going back to past mistakes,
you can never correct them, man!
You can never fix them, man!

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song from 'Chidambarathil Oru Appasamy' is a dramatic dialogue and philosophical clash between two characters with opposing viewpoints on life, morality, and vice. One character advocates for hedonism, urging his friend to drink, enjoy youth, and cast aside worldly worries and past mistakes. The opposing voice sternly rejects alcohol, pointing out that true humanity lies in remembering one's roots, upholding moral values, and honoring family responsibilities rather than seeking escape in liquor.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Ethukai (Second-letter Rhyming)

Metaphor
“Panneeril neeraadi nikkiravan / Enna nee koovatthula thallaadhae”
Comparing a pure, moral life to rose water (panneer) and a life ruined by alcohol and debauchery to the filthy Cooum river.
Contrast / Irony
“Ada saappaadu illa idhu / Saakkadaikkul thallum idhu”
Pitting the illusion of alcoholic joy ('sandhosha theertham') directly against its reality of leading one into the gutter ('saakkadaikkul thallum').
