உள்ளங்கையில்
என்னை வைத்து
உலகை வெல்ல நினைத்தாயே
உன்னை நீயே மிருகம் ஆக்க
என்னை பலி கொடுத்தாயே
Holding me in the palm of your hand
You thought of conquering the world
To turn yourself into a beast
You sacrificed me
நீயே என்னை
படைத்து வைத்தாய்
இப்போ என்னை கண்டு பயந்தாய்
மனதை மறந்த
மனிதனும் நீ
போ...போ...போ...
You yourself
Created me
Now you are afraid looking at me
Having forgotten your heart/conscience
You are that human
Go, go, go
ஓடு...ஓடு...ஓடு..
உலகம் சிறியது....
ஆடு....ஆடு...ஆடு...
மனித மிருகமே...
தேடு...தேடு...தேடு...
புதிய உலகமே...
இங்கே இடம் இல்லை....
Run, run, run
The world is small
Dance, dance, dance
Oh human beast
Search, search, search
For a new world
There is no compassion/warmth here
ஓடு ஓடு...ஆடு...ஆடு...
தேடு தேடு...இங்கே இல்லை..
ஓடு ஓடு...ஆடு...ஆடு...
தேடு தேடு...இங்கே இல்லை..
Run, run... dance, dance...
Search, search... it is not here...
Run, run... dance, dance...
Search, search... it is not here...
தேவை தெரியாமல்
எதையோ நீயே
தேடி அலைகிறாய் ஏனடா
வாழ்வை வாழ
மறந்து நீ எதற்கு
வழிகளை சுமந்து அலைகின்றாய்
Without understanding your true needs
Something blindly
Why do you wander around searching?
Forgetting to live
Your life, why do you
Wander carrying all this pain?
ஏன் அறிவியலை
அழிவிக்கென மாற்றினாய்
ஓ ஹோ...நான் உன்னை அழிக்க
துணிந்து விட்டேன் ஓடுவாய்
Why science
Did you turn into destruction?
Oh ho... to destroy you
I have made up my mind, so run!
ஓடு ஓடு ஓடு
உலகம் சிறியது
ஆடு ஆடு ஆடு
மனித மிருகமே
தேடு தேடு தேடு
புதிய உலகமே
இங்கே இடம் இல்லை
Run, run, run
The world is small
Dance, dance, dance
Oh human beast
Search, search, search
For a new world
There is no compassion/warmth here
ஓடு ஓடு...ஆடு...ஆடு...
தேடு தேடு...இங்கே இல்லை..
ஓடு ஓடு...ஆடு...ஆடு...
தேடு தேடு...இங்கே இல்லை..
Run, run... dance, dance...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a philosophical and cautionary anthem spoken from the perspective of an entity or creation addressing humanity. It critiques how human greed and obsession with controlling the world have corrupted mankind, turning humans into heartless beasts. By misusing science and technology for destruction rather than living peacefully, humans have created their own doom and lost true emotional warmth (eeram).
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Repetition (Adukkuthodar)
“Odu odu odu”
Emphasis through consecutive repetition of imperative verbs like 'Odu odu odu' (Run), 'Aadu aadu aadu' (Dance), and 'Thedu thedu thedu' (Search).
Metaphor / Oxymoron
“Manidha mirugamae”
Combining 'Manidha' (Human) and 'Mirugamae' (Beast) creates a vivid image of humanity losing its moral compass and becoming savage.
Monorhyme / Tamil Etukai
“Ullangayil ennai vaithu / Ulagai vella ninaithaayae”
Rhyming second letters in adjacent lines such as 'Ullangayil' / 'Ulagai' and 'Neeyae' / 'Padaithu' creating rhythm.
