| Female | |
| Ulagaiyae muluvadhum verukkiren | I detest this entire world |
| Valigalai idhayathil sumakkiren | I carry deep pain within my heart |
| Pirandhadhae thavarena ninaikkiren | I feel that being born was a mistake |
| Dhinamum naan enakkullae irakkiren | Every day, I die inside myself |
| Female | |
| Niarthin peyaril inathin peyaril | In the name of color, in the name of race |
| Paduthi edukkum panathin peyaril | In the name of money that torments |
| Kodiya ulagil thavari pirandhu thudithen | I writhed in pain, born by mistake in this cruel world |
| Thavarai pidithu thalaiyil adithu | Catching the evil, striking it on the head |
| Mugathai kizhithu adithu norukka | Tearing its face, beating and crushing it |
| Thirumbha thirumbha adutha piravi eduppen | I will take birth again and again in future lives |
| Female | |
| Ulagaiyae muluvadhum verukkiren | I detest this entire world |
| Valigalai idhayathil sumakkiren | I carry deep pain within my heart |
| Female | |
| Yedho solla palaa | To express something, many |
| Vaarthaigal thondruthae | Words arise within me |
| Vaazhkai endhan vazhkai | Life, my very life |
| Oru marmamaai aanadhae | Has turned into a mystery |
| Oorae ondru saerndhu | The entire town comes together |
| Ennai koarmaai paarkkudhae | And stares at me with cruelty |
| Yaarai sendru ketppen | Whom shall I approach and ask |
| Endhan kelvigal yaavumae | All of these unanswered questions? |
| Female | |
| Innum yenginen yenginen | I still yearned and longed |
| Edhum maaraamalae | Without anything changing |
| Indru pogiren pogiren | Today I am departing, departing |
| Valigal aaraamalae | Without my pain ever healing |

| Haaa…aaa..aaaa…hoo oo ooo | (Vocalizing anguish) |
உலகையே முழுவதும் வெறுக்கிறேன்
வலிகளை இதயத்தில் சுமக்கிறேன்
பிறந்ததே தவறென நினைக்கிறேன்
தினமும் நான் எனக்குள்ளே இறக்கிறேன்
I detest this entire world
I carry deep pain within my heart
I feel that being born was a mistake
Every day, I die inside myself
நிறத்தின் பெயரில் இனத்தின் பெயரில்
படுத்தி எடுக்கும் பணத்தின் பெயரில்
கொடிய உலகில் தவறி பிறந்து துடித்தேன்
தவறை பிடித்து தலையில் அடித்து
முகத்தை கிழித்து அடித்து நொறுக்க
திரும்ப திரும்ப அடுத்த பிறவி எடுப்பேன்
In the name of color, in the name of race
In the name of money that torments
I writhed in pain, born by mistake in this cruel world
Catching the evil, striking it on the head
Tearing its face, beating and crushing it
I will take birth again and again in future lives
உலகையே முழுவதும் வெறுக்கிறேன்
வலிகளை இதயத்தில் சுமக்கிறேன்
I detest this entire world
I carry deep pain within my heart
ஏதோ சொல்ல பல
வார்த்தைகள் தோன்றுதே
வாழ்க்கை எந்தன் வாழ்க்கை
ஒரு மர்மமாய் ஆனதே
ஊரே ஒன்று சேர்ந்து
என்னை கோரமாய் பார்க்குதே
யாரை சென்று கேட்ப்பேன்
எந்தன் கேள்விகள் யாவுமே
To express something, many
Words arise within me
Life, my very life
Has turned into a mystery
The entire town comes together
And stares at me with cruelty
Whom shall I approach and ask
All of these unanswered questions?
இன்னும் ஏங்கினேன் ஏங்கினேன்
ஏதும் மாறாமலே
இன்று போகிறேன் போகிறேன்
வலிகள் ஆறாமலே
I still yearned and longed
Without anything changing
Today I am departing, departing
Without my pain ever healing
ஹா ..ஆஅ..ஆஆ ...ஹோ ..ஓ .ஓ ...
(Vocalizing anguish)
Ulagaiyae muluvadhum verukkiren
I detest this entire world
Valigalai idhayathil sumakkiren
I carry deep pain within my heart
Pirandhadhae thavarena ninaikkiren
I feel that being born was a mistake
Dhinamum naan enakkullae irakkiren
Every day, I die inside myself
Niarthin peyaril inathin peyaril
In the name of color, in the name of race
Paduthi edukkum panathin peyaril
In the name of money that torments
Kodiya ulagil thavari pirandhu thudithen
I writhed in pain, born by mistake in this cruel world
Thavarai pidithu thalaiyil adithu
Catching the evil, striking it on the head
Mugathai kizhithu adithu norukka
Tearing its face, beating and crushing it
Thirumbha thirumbha adutha piravi eduppen
I will take birth again and again in future lives
Ulagaiyae muluvadhum verukkiren
I detest this entire world
Valigalai idhayathil sumakkiren
I carry deep pain within my heart
Yedho solla palaa
To express something, many
Vaarthaigal thondruthae
Words arise within me
Vaazhkai endhan vazhkai
Life, my very life
Oru marmamaai aanadhae
Has turned into a mystery
Oorae ondru saerndhu
The entire town comes together
Ennai koarmaai paarkkudhae
And stares at me with cruelty
Yaarai sendru ketppen
Whom shall I approach and ask
Endhan kelvigal yaavumae
All of these unanswered questions?
Innum yenginen yenginen
I still yearned and longed
Edhum maaraamalae
Without anything changing
Indru pogiren pogiren
Today I am departing, departing
Valigal aaraamalae
Without my pain ever healing
Haaa…aaa..aaaa…hoo oo ooo
(Vocalizing anguish)
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poignant song conveys intense grief, isolation, and resistance against systemic societal evils like racism, colorism, and economic oppression. The speaker feels that their existence is an unbearable mistake, suffering daily in silence while society turns a cruel, judgmental gaze toward them. Despite the despair leading to a tragic departure, there is a fiery spirit of resilience—expressing a desire to be reborn repeatedly to fight back and crush injustice.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Ulagaiyae muluvadhum verukkiren / Valigalai idhayathil sumakkiren”
The verbs at the end of consecutive lines ('verukkiren', 'sumakkiren', 'ninaikkiren', 'irakkiren') end with matching suffixes to create a rhythmic, melancholic sound structure.
Adukkuthodar (Repetition)
“Innum yenginen yenginen”
Words like 'thirumbha thirumbha' (again and again), 'yenginen yenginen' (longed and longed), and 'pogiren pogiren' (leaving, leaving) are repeated to emphasize emotional distress and conviction.
Parallelism / Symmetrical Structure
“Niarthin peyaril inathin peyaril / Paduthi edukkum panathin peyaril”
The repetitive phrasing 'peyaril... peyaril... peyaril' constructs a cumulative list of social causes of suffering.
