↻ English translation
Daare dammaare
Pettan potta bejaare
Hey chikkam kolaare
Yei paathukka ushaare
Kiyaare summaare
Jegadam sestha kumare
Fight-u torture-u
Vaa pattunu dhaan maare
Adithadi adithadi ambelu
Udu udu udu udu nammaalu
Puriyidhu puriyidhu un feel-u
Aayiduppa saalu
Pala pala palanu pala naalu
Kulu kulu kulunu nee vaazhu
Machi machi muchu muchu gujaalu
Why da kai maalu
Ye ozhaikkira jananga
Oduthu thinanga
Pola edhuvum maari
Jaathiyum mathamum aaluthu
Namma mele yeri
Pongura arisikku bangama poduraan
Variya vaari
Uttaan dupeu vechitaan aappu
Vera maari
Aalura aalu podura rule
Pannuthu controlu
Yei ezhai pala kozha illa
Nenja nimithi kelu
Time aachuendra innapa pannura
Oora thiruthurennu
Pattunnu pittunnu tensiona vera
Mind la yethikinnu
Ketta nyaayam case-nnu paayum
Vaenaa kannu
Sokka vappa naekka thanppa
Jolly pannu
Naata thirutha sollura karutha
Cinemava kaattu
Irangidum baaram ulagamae maarum
Padatha nee oottu
Daare thammare!
What a messy headache!
Hey, caught in a tangle of trouble!
Hey, watch out and stay alert!
What is up, just chilling?
Pick a fight and you will get thrashed!
Fights and pure torture,
Come on, change your ways right away!
No more brawls, call it quits!
Let it go, let it go, my friend!
I understand, I get how you feel,
You will soon be just fine!
Shining bright for days to come,
Live your life cool and relaxed!
Buddy, buddy, keep the mood upbeat and fun!
Throw your hands up in style!
Hey, the hardworking people
Hustle every single day.
Yet nothing really seems to change,
Caste and religion still rule,
Trampling all over us!
Even on the rice we cook, they hit us hard
By piling on heavy taxes!
They fed us lies and trapped us,
In an outrageous way!
The rules made by those in power
Keep us completely under control!
Hey, the poor are not weak cowards,
Stand tall with your chest out and question them!
"Time is passing, what are you doing?" you ask,
Saying you want to reform the town,
Piling on all kinds of sudden tension,
Letting it all get into your head!
Ask for justice and they will slap a case on you,
Do not risk it, my dear!
Win people over smoothly and smartly,
And just enjoy yourself!
The message meant to reform the country—
Show it through cinema!
The burden will lift, the world will change,
Just serve them a movie!
