Red road
Two lorries
One turned right
Went straight ahead
Standing in the open space
At the White House gate
Crashed right in the middle
ஹே மொட்ட
வெயிலில பட்ட பகலில்
இத வேடிக்க பாக்க
வந்தான் நம்ம வெள்ள
கொடி வேந்தன்
Hey, in the scorching sun
In broad daylight
He came to watch the spectacle
Our white-flag
King
பட்டினத்து பூதம்
தீ புடிப்பதா பத்தி எறிவதா
அய்யயோ பத்தி எறிவதா
பாதி தூரம் நின்னு பாப்பத
விட்டு புட்டான்
The ghost of the city
Catching fire
Burning up
Oh dear
Burning up
Kept a distance
And gave up watching
அந்த பறக்க வெட்டி
பையன் பக்கம் நின்னு
கைய கட்டி வேட்டி தீ
பட்டு கருகி கழட்டி
உட்டு ஓடினான்
That flying
Useless boy
Stood nearby
With folded arms
His veshti caught fire
It got charred, so he stripped it off and ran

Indicating a right turn with his hand
He boarded the lorry on the left

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from 'Jil Jung Juk' is an absurd, quirky, and psychedelic track filled with dark comedy and surreal imagery. The lyrics narrate nonsensical yet vivid mini-stories, such as two lorries crashing in front of a white house gate, a king whose dhoti catches fire while watching a disaster, and a man flying away in boxer shorts after signalling right and boarding a left-moving lorry.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Imagery / Surrealism
“Ye vella vaathu Theppa kolathula Thoppul kuliyalumaa”
Paints bizarre visual pictures, such as a white duck taking a bath in a temple pond causing a raven to flip underwater.
Metaphor
“Bottle la thaan Paattonnu Paduthorangudhu”
Compares alcohol in a bottle to a sleeping song that cascades like a waterfall once opened.
Edhugai (Second-letter Rhyme)
“Pattaa patti / Mattum mattinu”
Matching second consonants in consecutive phrases to create a catchy Tamil rhythm.
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Avan right hand kaatti Left lorry yeri History aanaan da”
Rhyming ends of lines in Tanglish style ('kaatti', 'yeri', 'aanaan da').
