Oh Venkatesa of the seven hills of Tirupati, what is this?
What are we supposed to do with all this money?
Oh Venkatesa of the seven hills of Tirupati, what is this?
What are we supposed to do with all this money?
That battered bicycle is gone,
and now an airplane belongs to us!
America, Africa...
we are tired of roaming all over the world!
Thamthanathan bolo... (4)
Oh Venkatesa of the seven hills of Tirupati, what is this?
What are we supposed to do with all this money?
If you want some fresh breeze, buy the whole beach!
Chorus: Buy the parks too!
Male: If you want to drink coffee, buy an estate!
Chorus: Hey, buy a cardamom plantation!
Ask to take the Courtallam waterfall on lease!
If you fancy a massage, bring in pretty beauties!
Balle balle balle balle hey!
Shall we buy up all the tiny islands?
Hey, shall we dig oil wells all around?
Shall we flash our cash and take over the whole town?
Shall we hand it out to everyone paying us tribute?
Thamthanathan bolo... (4)
Oh Venkatesa of the seven hills of Tirupati, what is this?
What are we supposed to do with all this money?
The one who has money belongs to God's own class,
Chorus: this is the way of the world!
Male: We have money now, so what boundary can stop us?
Chorus: From now on, it is fun every single day!
From now on, newspapers and television
will show our faces!
Universities will come searching for us
and hand over honorary doctorates!
Balle balle balle balle hey!
Hey, holding an MP seat brings total protection!
Buy a coconut grove for the MLA too!
Just catching sight of an actress
gives a playful thrill!
All: For folks like us,
it brings cozy warmth!
Thamthanathan bolo... (4)
Oh Venkatesa of the seven hills of Tirupati, what is this?
What are we supposed to do with all this money?
That battered bicycle is gone,

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This satirical comedy track from the 1999 movie 'Thirupathi Ezhumalai Venkatesa' captures the sudden transformation of ordinary men into immensely wealthy individuals. Overwhelmed by their newfound fortune, the protagonists lightheartedly complain to Lord Venkatesa about the burden of having too much money, fantasizing about outlandish purchases like buying entire beaches, waterfalls, coffee estates, and private jets.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Hyperbole (Uravanidhal)

“Kaathu vaanganum kadarkarai vaangu / Kuttralathu ariviyai kuthagaikku kelu”

Extravagant exaggeration used for comedic effect, such as buying entire beaches just for fresh air or leasing natural waterfalls.

Anaphora / Erattai Kilavi (Repetition)

“Suthi suthi ippa aluppa aachu / Kutti kutti theevai ellam vaanguvomaa”

Repetition of words like 'Suthi suthi' and 'Kutti kutti' to build rhythm and emphasize scale.

Monai (Initial Assonance/Consonance)

“Kaathu vaanganum kadarkarai vaangu / Kaapi kudikanum estate vaangu”

Matching initial sounds in consecutive lines for poetic alliteration (e.g., 'Kaathu' and 'Kaapi').
