If Venus enters the seventh house
And aligns in your favor
Our flag will fly high
Fireworks will burst continuous joy
ஏழுல சுக்குரன்
இறங்கி புட்டா நம்ம
கொடி பறக்கும் சர
வெடி வெடிக்கும்
If Saturn joins along with it
And sticks to your fortune
Right down to your underwear
A lathi strike will tear everything apart
கூடவே சனி
ஒன்னு தொத்திகிச்சுனா
உன் ஜட்டி வரைக்கும்
ஒரு லத்தி கிழிக்கும்
To score a win in a game of Rummy
You need sharp mind and foresight
Even the joker card
You must keep an eye on with suspicion
ரம்மில டிக் அடிக்க
வேணும் முன்ன முன்ன
ஜோக்கரா கூட நீயும் மாறு
கண்ணா கண்ணா
What did NTR and Balakrishna say?
What all did they proclaim?
To stop a train, a little finger
Is more than enough, my dear
என்.டி.ஆர் பாலயாலா
சொன்னது என்ன என்ன
ட்ரைன்க்கு சுண்டு விரல்
போதும் கண்ணா
We are Sarpetta
The high ground of the hill
If you mess with us
Sparks will fly everywhere
நாங்க சர்பேட்டா
ஓட கொள்ளு பேட்டா அட
எங்க தோட்டா தெறிக்கும்

.......................
Even if a cow lies flat on its back
Will it fly in the sky?
An unprovoked stubborn bull
Will it yield milk?
மல்லாக்க படுத்தா
கூட மாடு பறக்குமா
மோதாத முரட்டு
காளை பாலு கறக்குமா
Just by uttering the word betel leaf
Will your mouth turn red?
Can you just blow air and claim scam
To earn money effortlessly?
பீடான்னு சொன்னா
மட்டும் வாயி செவக்குமா
தோடான்னு விட்டு புட்டா
டப்பு தான் கிடைக்குமா
Roll the dice in the game
Double sixes will land
Once luck shines upon you
You yourself become a Power Star
தாயத்த உருட்டி
போட வரும் ரெண்டு
ஆறு டா வந்துட்டா நீயும்
தானே பவர் ஸ்டார் டா
Play Maestro Ilaiyaraaja's songs
Dance and celebrate all night long
Forever, our life is
A non-stop celebration
ராஜா சார் பாட்ட
போட்டு ராவெல்லாம்
கூத்து கட்டு என்னைக்கும்
நம்ம லைப்பு கொண்டாட்டம்
தான்
We are Sarpetta
The high ground of the hill
If you mess with us
Sparks will fly everywhere
நாங்க சர்பேட்டா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song is a high-energy, quirky promotional track from the black comedy film 'Simba'. Constructed as a surreal trip, the narrator guides the listener through the unpredictable ups and downs of life. Using playful metaphors, astrological references, card games, pop culture nods to Telugu cinema legends (NTR, Balakrishna) and Tamil pop icon 'Power Star' Srinivasan, the track emphasizes taking life lightheartedly regardless of hardship.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Rhyme / Monorhyme (Emonai & Etukai)
“Kadama unna / Kaimaa panna / Vazhka sema fun-nu”
Usage of matching end sounds across consecutive lines, such as 'panna', 'fun-nu', 'ninnu', 'pannu', 'win-nu'.
Metaphor
“Naanga vethu vetta / Illa dynamite-ah”
Comparing people to dynamic items like dynamite and soaring kites rather than useless individuals.
Hyperbole
“Train-ku sundu viral / Pothum kanna”
Exaggerated claim that a pinky finger is enough to stop an oncoming train, referencing mass action tropes.
Rhetorical Question
“Mallaka padutha kooda / Maadu parakkuma”
Using absurd rhetorical queries to convey that actions require real effort rather than passive expectation.
