Finish whatever you set out to do
Time is just like that
Once it reaches your hands
Hold onto it tight
Even if you spin a lie, study well
Read the Kural (ancient Tamil couplets)
The path you take is a good path
Write your story that way
On every path you climb
Income should keep rising step by step
There is progress ahead, my friend
Why are you so confused?
This is what is bound to happen
As written in the story of destiny
The whole town will follow behind you
The world will praise you to your face
Your name will shine forever
Filled with immense pride
Your influence must keep rising
Good words should echo in the breeze
Cars, comforts, and pure progress
Profits rolling into your account
What leaves is the old
What arrives is the new
Back then it was small
Today it has grown big
Inside bad things
There is some good too
And inside the good
Bad things lie hidden as well
Whatever comes your way
Do not let it slip away
This precious life of yours
Do not let it go to waste
First, map out the route
Next, lay down the road
Throw away all your doubts
And hit the jackpot!
Income won't fail to arrive
It will never stop flowing
In the accounts of earnings
Both principal and interest won't miss
Our good luck
Will never step down and run away
The whole town will follow behind you
The world will praise you to your face
Your name will shine forever
Filled with immense pride
Your influence must keep rising
Good words should echo in the breeze
Cars, comforts, and pure progress
Profits rolling into your account
Smash it!
As long as you have money
The whole town will crowd around
Very sweetly to you
They will sing pleasing tunes
Whatever has come your way
Hold onto it smartly
Watching for the right time
Live your life sharp and smart
Our life
Is in our own hands
Believe me, friends
It is nowhere else
Even if you speak nonsense
The crowd will nod along
If you don't have any money
They will throw you aside
A hard-working rickshaw puller
Can also become rich
In no time at all
He can fly on an airplane
Even overnight
Anyone can become an Obama!
Finish whatever you set out to do
Time is just like that
Once it reaches your hands
Hold onto it tight (hold tight)
Even if you spin a lie, study well
Read the Kural (ancient Tamil couplets)
The path you take is a good path
Write your story that way
The whole town will follow behind you
The world will praise you to your face
Your name will shine forever
Filled with immense pride
Your influence must keep rising
Good words should echo in the breeze
Cars, comforts, and pure progress
Profits rolling into your account

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic song from the film Jarugandi serves as a pragmatic and motivational anthem about ambition, financial growth, and practical life wisdom.

The lyricist points out how society respects prosperity and influence, reminding us that life's trajectory can change dramatically overnight through persistence.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Edhugai (Monne / Second-letter Rhyme)

Yerura vazhi ellam / Yetham irukkuthuda

Matching second consonants across lines creates a rhythmic cadence, such as 'Yerura' and 'Yetham' or 'Porathu' and 'Vaarathu'.

Iyaibu (End Rhyme)

Ooru unakku pinnadi thaan / Ulagam pugazhum munnadi thaan

Lines consistently end with identical sound structures like 'thaan' to create catchiness.

Antithesis (Contrast)

Porathu pazhasu / Vaarathu puthusu

Contrasting concepts are paired together to highlight life's dualities, such as old vs. new, small vs. big, and good vs. bad.

Hyperbole / Allusion

Over night-layum / Obamavum aavalaam

Exaggeration referencing former US President Barack Obama to symbolize ultimate overnight social elevation.
