இன்கேம் இன்கேம் இன்கேம் காவலே
Inkem inkem inkem kaavalae (What more, what more do we need?)
சார் பாட்டு பாடியே ஆகணுமா
Sir, do I really have to sing a song?
ஏன் நான் பாட கூடாதா
Why, can't I sing?
இல்ல சார் நீங்க பாடுனா
No sir, if you sing...
நான் பாடுறதுதான் பிரச்சனையா
பாடுவேன் கெத்தா ஸ்டைல்லா
Is my singing the problem?
I will sing in swagger style!
அது இல்ல சார் மக்களுக்கு ஏதாவது
It's not that sir, what about the public...
மக்கள்னா என்ன
மிஞ்சி மிஞ்சி போனா காரி துப்புவாங்ளா
துப்புனா துடச்சிடுவேன்
What about the public?
At worst, won't they just spit on us?
If they spit, I will just wipe it off!
சீட்டுக்கு கெஞ்சிடுவோம்
ஓட்டுக்கு கும்பிடுவோம்
அசால்ட்டா ட்வீட்டா போட்டு
அட்மின் பேர சொல்லிடுவோம்
We will beg for a political seat
We will bow down to beg for votes
Casually posting a tweet
We will blame it on the social media admin
வீட்டுக்கு 2௦ ரூபா
குடுத்தாலே ஜெயச்சுடுவோம்பா
தேர்மகோல ஆத்துல விட்டு
நீராவிய தடுத்துடுவோம்பா
Giving twenty rupees per household
If we pay, we will win, buddy!
By floating thermocol on the river
We will stop water evaporation, buddy!

கூப்ட்டு வச்சு பணம்தா
பங்கு பிரிப்போம்
Caste and religion
We will tear apart and wash clean
The election votes
We will divide using caste politics
Speaking arrogantly
If we stand alone and lose
We will call everyone together
And share the money among ourselves

ஓட்டுக்கு தக்சனை
எதுவுமே புரியல
A lion means a mighty roar
A Chief Minister means endless praise
An offering given in exchange for a vote
Nothing makes any sense at all
பொன்னாகும் பூமி
மக்கள் தான் சாமி
சொன்ன பொய்க்கு
கணக்கு இருக்கு காமி
The land turns to gold
The common people are the real God
For all the lies told
Show us if you have real accounts

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
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.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Satire / Sarcasm
“Thermacol-ah aathula vittu Neeraviya thaduthuduvom pa”
The entire song uses deep political sarcasm, highlighting real-life political absurdities and corrupt electoral strategies.
Adukkuthodar (Repetition for Emphasis)
“Thuppuna thuppuna thuppuna Thodachikkuven”
Repetition of the word 'thuppuna' emphasizes the shameless persistence of politicians despite public anger.
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Seatu-ku kenjiduvom / Voteu-kku kumbiduvom”
The lines end with rhythmic verbal agreement endings like 'kenjiduvom', 'kumbiduvom', and 'solliduvom'.

Trivia
The song directly mocks famous real-life political incidents in Tamil Nadu, including a politician's bizarre attempt to reduce dam evaporation using thermocol sheets, politicians blaming controversial posts on social media admins, and cash-for-votes schemes. The film was produced by Sivakarthikeyan.
