What more, what more, what more do you want?
Sir, do you really have to sing?
Why, am I not allowed to sing?
No sir, if you sing...
Is my singing the problem?
I'll sing with swag and style!
It's not that, sir, what about the people...
What about the people?
At most, will they spit in our faces?
If they spit, I'll just wipe it off!
We'll beg for an election seat,
We'll fold our hands for votes,
Casually put out a tweet,
And blame it on the admin!
Just twenty rupees per house,
If we hand that out, we'll surely win!
Floating thermocol sheets on the river,
We'll stop the water from evaporating!
If they spit, spit, spit,
I'll wipe it off!
If they spit, spit, spit,
I'll wipe it off!
Hey, if they spit, spit, spit,
I'll wipe it off!
If they spit, spit, spit,
I'll wipe it off!
Thanthane thane naane,
Thane naane naa naa,
Thanthane thane naane,
Thane naane naa naa!
Caste and religion—
We'll rip them apart and make a scene!
The election votes—
We'll divide them using caste!
Talking with pure arrogance,
If we contest alone and lose,
We'll call them up, demand the money,
And split our share!
A lion means a mighty roar,
A Chief Minister gets cursed by all,
Bribes handed out for votes,
None of this makes any sense!
The land will turn to gold,
The people are the true gods,
For all the lies you've told,
There is an account—now show it!
If they spit, spit, spit,
I'll wipe it off!
If they spit, spit, spit,
I'll wipe it off!
Hey, if they spit, spit, spit,
I'll wipe it off!
If they spit, spit, spit,
I'll wipe it off!
...
If they spit, spit, spit, spit,
Thu... thu...
If they spit, spit, spit, spit,
Thu...
If they spit, spit, spit,
I'll wipe it off!
If they spit, spit, spit,
I'll wipe it off!
Hey, if they spit, spit, spit,
I'll wipe it off!
Even if you spit, spit, spit,
I'll wipe it off!
I'll wipe it off!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This satirical song from the movie 'Nenjamundu Nermaiyundu Odu Raja' (2019) exposes and ridicules the shamelessness of corrupt politicians and political systems. The speaker unabashedly admits that politicians have no self-respect; no matter how much the public despises or spits on them, they will simply wipe it off and carry on begging for votes, distributing bribe money, and dividing people along caste and religious lines. The track highlights how politicians evade accountability for outrageous public missteps and empty promises, mockingly portraying the total absence of shame in modern electoral politics.
