Do not be fooled by outward appearances,
Oodhukamale!
When you look closely, there is nothing genuine inside!
O colourful peacock, mount of Lord Murugan,
When will all these false disguises fall apart?
Tell me, O peacock!
I swear to God, it is true,
I swear to God, what I say is the truth of life!
The earth is round, but people's minds are utterly crooked!
The earth is round, but people's minds are utterly crooked!
Did God create this world in a drunken haze?
Or did He shatter something that was once whole and good?
Did God create this world in a drunken haze?
Or did He shatter something that was once whole and good?
I swear to God, what I say is the truth of life!
The earth is round, but people's minds are utterly crooked!
The earth is round, but people's minds are utterly crooked!
While speaking on stage, he remembers Gandhi,
Some, while speaking on stage, remember Gandhi,
Yet once dusk falls, his mind only craves brandy!
He loudly proclaims that he works tirelessly for the people,
Ha, he loudly proclaims that he works tirelessly for the people,
Yet using the public's money, he builds a mansion for himself!
O colourful peacock, mount of Lord Murugan,
When will all these false disguises fall apart?
Tell me, O peacock!
A wife who refuses to live within her family's means
May stray down the wrong path chasing after money!
As long as his wife is right beside him,
Every husband pretends to be as virtuous as Rama!
But the moment she visits her parents' house,
He turns into a pleasure-seeking Indra!
This craze for modern ways has ruined everyday life;
Has it spared anyone, whether man or woman?
Even if you bathe a street dog and seat it comfortably,
It will still run after discarded food leaves any day!
I swear to God, what I say is the truth of life!
The earth is round, but people's minds are utterly crooked!
The earth is round, but people's minds are utterly crooked!
Claiming he has lost both his eyes,
A beggar stretches out his hands,
Yet when someone drops a coin, to see if it is good,
He opens his eyes wide and checks it!
A man who boasts loudly at the top of his voice
About the legendary virtue of Kannagi,
The moment he finds a woman all alone,
Eagerly asks for her home address!
In the slums, there are so many little huts,
And for every hut, a political party rises and a flag flies!
These political parties divide people who once lived as one,
These political parties divide people who once lived as one,
Yet their hollow slogans of unity
Never stop piercing our ears!
O colourful peacock, mount of Lord Murugan,
When will all these false disguises fall apart?
Tell me, O peacock!
O colourful peacock, mount of Lord Murugan,
When will all these false disguises fall apart?
Tell me, O peacock!
I swear to God, what I say is the truth of life!
The earth is round, but people's minds are utterly crooked!
The earth is round, but people's minds are utterly crooked!
