Aa... aah...
Aa... aah...
Come, come, come!
Female: Bang bang!
Male: The weekend is here, man!
Aa... aah... aah...
The weekend is here, man!
Come with me, my friend!
Let's break away and breathe the fresh air!
The chairs and desks—
We wore them down every single day!
Let's love the open sky as our roof!
The trash piled up alongside the files,
Let's clink our glasses and forget it all!
The mistakes made across five days and nights,
Let's cast them aside for a couple of days!
To hang out shoulder to shoulder and chat,
The weekend is here, man!
To switch off our mobile phones,
The weekend is here, man!
Barley brew...
Drink it and let the tiredness fade away!
Barley brew...
Drink it and let the tiredness fade away!
Barley brew, brew, brew...
Drink, drink, drink to drive the tiredness away!
Barley brew, brew, brew...
Drink, drink, drink to drive the tiredness away!
Taking down every lecture line by line,
Even our fingers wore out from writing!
Listening to advice and nodding 'okay, okay',
Even our parched voices went dry!
Like the waning moon,
Our smiles shrank away!
Crushed like a crispy papadum
Trampled under an elephant's feet!
For wisdom to dawn and the world to flourish,
The weekend is here, man!
To look towards the west and spread our wings,
The weekend is here, man!
Sounding the death knell, Monday arrived!
Stretching endlessly like rubber, Tuesday arrived!
Like a monster, Wednesday would arrive!
Thursday hits like a burning fever and kills us!
Full of worry, our situation
Goes on, goes on, goes on and on!
Ah... but when Friday comes, why is it
That our spirits leap so high?
In whose hands, in whose pockets,
Is there any money left?
With a glass of barley brew,
Come with me, my friend!
Let's break away and breathe the fresh air!
In this golden evening hour...
...
Hey... stuffing all the books
Into our heads,
We became sheep in a herd!
Like night owls,
Keeping our eyes wide open,
Our brains were overheated!
All inside our lungs
Is the stuffy smell of classrooms;
Just to clear it all out,
We searched for a way!
Even though the tip of our tongue naturally
Speaks in English,
Just to make it bloom,
We sang in Tamil!
The dark spots on the moon
Are not flaws at all,
And nothing done in moderation is wrong,
Saying so... saying so... saying so...
La la la la... la la la la la... la la la...
La la la la... la la la la la... la la la...
La la la la... la la la la la... la la la...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Vaara Kadaisi' from the 2012 movie 'Ponmaalai Pozhudhu' is a high-energy youth anthem celebrating the arrival of the weekend. Lyricist Madhan Karky paints a vivid picture of the stress, exhaustion, and monotonous routine experienced by students and young adults throughout the weekdays—from the dread of Monday to the fatigue of Thursday. The lyrics express the overwhelming relief and joy that Friday brings, inviting friends to shut down their phones, leave behind textbooks and lectures, and unwind with friends over drinks to recharge their spirit.
