I am going to speak the truth,
listen to me, brother!
Those who won the election,
what happened to all their promises?
Claiming they would do good,
they only spun tall tales.
Just to party and make merry,
they formed a coalition.
Saying that the others were wrong,
these people pointed fingers.
But after delivering grand speeches,
they did the exact same thing!
Everyone here is a fraud,
and it has gone to ruin,
our entire country!
I am going to speak the truth,
listen to me, brother!
Those who won the election,
what happened to all their promises?
If you give us a chance,
we will work really hard for you.
Like sons from your own household,
we will come running to ask what you need.
Liquor will be delivered right to your doorstep,
you don't have to suffer at all.
Asking you to show your driving license,
we will never pester or harass you.
All your electricity bills,
you won't have to pay them at all.
Even the recharges for your mobile phones,
we will do it for you ourselves!
If you ever ask for it,
we will even share the bribe money with you!
I am going to speak the truth,
listen to me, brother!
Those who won the election,
what happened to all their promises?
All the petrol and diesel,
we will give you for free!
As for your children,
we will take them to school ourselves.
You can travel anywhere you like,
without needing any tickets at all!
Five days in a week,
we will declare as holidays!
You don't even have to cook,
we will come feed you the food!
Everything is completely free,
so celebrate and make merry!
An airplane for every single house,
we will present in our budget!
I am going to speak the truth,
listen to me, brother!
Those who won the election,
what happened to all their promises?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Ulladha Naan Solla Poren' from the film Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga is a satirical, comic take on Indian political campaigns and election manifestos. The singers highlight how politicians make extravagant, absurd promises—ranging from free electricity and petrol to delivering liquor at home and buying aeroplanes for every household—just to secure votes, only to forget every promise once elected.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Satire and Irony

Veetuku oru aeroplane-ah Budget-ah thaakal seivom-nga

The lyrics use extreme, ridiculous promises (like delivering liquor to homes and giving free aeroplanes in the budget) to mock political election manifestos.

Edhugai (Second-letter Rhyme)

Ulladha / Kettukunga

The second consonant sound matches between adjacent lines, creating a rhythmic cadence in Tamil poetry.

Monai (Initial Alliteration)

Vasanam pesiputtu / Athaiyae senjaanga

Repetition of initial consonant/vowel sounds across words in lines.
