| Male | |
| Ooru vittu ooru vanthu | Coming from town to town, |
| Naaya pola naathi athu | Lacking support like a stray dog, |
| Aana kadha pothumadaa | Enough with this story, man, |
| Mudidaa hey | Finish it, hey! |
| Male | |
| Kaasu thuttu panam ellaam | Cash, change, and money— |
| Illaiyinaa ponamadaa | Without it, you are just a corpse, man! |
| Porundhathu pothumadaa | Enough of lying low, man, |
| Mithidaa | Trample it down! |

| Saathu mirandal | If a meek person revolts, |
| Kaadu kollaathu | Even the forest cannot contain it. |

ஊரு விட்டு ஊரு வந்து
நாய போல நாதி அத்து
ஆன கதை போதுமடா
முடிடா ஹே..
Coming from town to town,
Lacking support like a stray dog,
Enough with this story, man,
Finish it, hey!
காசு துட்டு பணம் எல்லாம்
இல்லையினா பொணமடா
பொருந்தாது போதுமடா
மிதிடா
Cash, change, and money—
Without it, you are just a corpse, man!
Enough of lying low, man,
Trample it down!
சாது மிரண்டால்
காடு கொள்ளாது
சூது பிறழ்ந்தால்
நாடு தாங்காது
ஹாஹா ஹாஹா
If a meek person revolts,
Even the forest cannot contain it.
If treachery occurs,
The country cannot bear it.
Hahahahhaaha
சாகா வரம் வாங்கி வந்த
சாத்தான் கூட்டம் நாங்க
சத்தம் போட்டா சங்கருத்து
ரத்தம் குடிப்போம்
Having received the boon of immortality,
We are a group of devils!
If you make noise, we will slit your throat,
And drink your blood!
சூர காத்தா சுத்தி வந்த
சாத்தான் கூட்டம் நாங்க
கன்னி வெச்சு கண்ணிவெடி
யுத்தம் தொடுப்போம்
Swirling around like a whirlwind,
We are a group of devils!
Setting traps and landmines,
We will wage a war!
வெட்ட வெட்ட
குதிர் முளைக்கும்
வேதாளங்கள் நாங்க
முன்னவாடா கூர்முனையா
குத்தி கிழிப்போம்
Sprouting back no matter how much you cut us down,
We are the undead ghouls!
Come forward, with sharp edges,
We will stab and tear you apart!
சாது மிரண்டால்
காடு கொள்ளாது
சூது பிறழ்ந்தால்
நாடு தாங்காது
If a meek person revolts,
Even the forest cannot contain it.
If treachery occurs,
The country cannot bear it.
.......................................
...
பசி வந்தா
பணத்தை திங்கும்
பச்சோந்திங்க நாங்க
மனிதம் கொன்னு மிருகம் வாழ
ரத்தம் குடிப்போம்
When hunger strikes,
Eating money itself,
We are chameleons!
Killing humanity so the beast inside can live,
We will drink blood!
ஆதி சிவன் கடைஞ்செடுத்த
ஆழ காலம் காசு
நக்கி நக்கி விக்கி விக்கி
தொண்ட நஞ்சு செத்து போகிறோம்
Churned out by Lord Shiva,
The deadly poison and money,
Licking and choking on it,
With throats poisoned, we are dying!

காடு கொள்ளாது
சூது பிறழ்ந்தால்
நாடு தாங்காது} (2)

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This intense track portrays the dark, ruthless mindset of individuals driven to the edge by poverty, deception, and societal neglect. It emphasizes how money dictates human value in today's world, asserting that without financial power, a person is treated as good as dead. The speakers identify themselves as relentless, devilish figures who have lost their humanity and turned into vengeful beasts due to betrayal. The song serves as a grim warning about the consequences of pushing gentle or downtrodden people too far. Utilizing proverbs like 'Saathu mirandal kaadu kollaathu' (If a quiet man revolts, even the forest cannot hold him), it highlights how systemic corruption and greed poison human society, transforming desperate individuals into dangerous chameleons driven solely by survival and vengeance.
