நம்ம ஜி எச் -கு தூக்கிபோனா
உசிர கேக்குது
Private hospitals
Look at your purse first
If we take the patient to our GH (Government Hospital)
It demands life itself
முட்டைக்குள்ள இருக்குறப்போ
முப்பது புக்ஸ் ஆமா
மூனு ஆப்பு படிக்குறப்போ
பப்லிக் எக்ஸாமா
While still inside the egg shell
They say there are thirty books
While studying in third grade
Is it a public exam?
டாஸ்மாக் துறந்து வெச்சு
தாலியத்தா அக்குறான்
கார்பரேட்டுக்கு இந்தியாவ
கூறு கெட்டி விக்குறான்
By keeping TASMAC liquor shops open
He ruins people's minds and lives
To corporations, India is
Being auctioned off in pieces
என்னங்கடா நியாயம்
இப்ப வெளுக்க போது சாயம்
என்னங்கடா நியாயம்

How can farm laws that ruin agriculture
Be considered correct?
ஏய் ஆமா ஆமா ஆமா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a sharp, satirical protest track highlighting the socio-economic struggles of the common working-class citizen in contemporary Tamil Nadu and India. The lyrics critique corrupt administration, crumbling public infrastructure like pothole-ridden roads and inadequate government hospitals, high commercial healthcare costs, inflation, heavy taxation on basic household goods, rising fuel and LPG prices, controversial farm bills, and state-sponsored alcohol sales (TASMAC). Using colloquial, earthy Tamil, the song voices the frustration of voters who feel neglected and betrayed by political promises while coping with the daily burdens of inflation and administrative apathy.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Edhugai (Second-letter Assonance)
“Vechuthaan seiyuranga / Vayathila thaan adikkiraanga”

Rhyme (Iyaibu)
“Road paaru kundu kuzhi / Pithunguthinga kannu muzhi”
End rhyme matching the sounds 'kuzhi' and 'muzhi'.
Hyperbole & Metaphor
“Vayathila thaan adikkiraanga / Pithunguthinga kannu muzhi”
Metaphorical usage of 'hitting in the stomach' to represent ruining someone's livelihood, and hyperbole regarding potholes popping eyeballs out.
Social Satire & Rhetorical Question
“Ennangada nyayam / Ippo velukka povuthu saayam”
Questioning the absurdity of social inequalities, public exams for third graders, and taxing everyday items.

Trivia
The song serves as a socio-political anthem within the 2022 movie 'Azhagiya Kanne', directed by R. Vijayakumar. Lyricist Ekadasi uses hyper-local Tamil folk idioms and street-protest style phrasing to criticize contemporary economic issues such as GST taxes, LPG gas cylinder price hikes, and controversial agricultural laws.
