வீட்டிலே மனம் நொந்தவன்
வேறொரு சுகம் காண்பவன்
தேடி வரும் பூமியிது
துன்பங்கள் தீர்த்து வைக்கும் பானம் இது
சொர்க்கம்தனை காண்பதற்கே
முன்னோர்கள் தோற்றுவித்த கோயில் இது
The one whose heart is broken at home,
The one who finds a different kind of joy here,
This is the land that they come searching for.

We have never met each other before,
We have never spoken with love before.
We have never met each other before,
We have never spoken with love before.
சொந்தம் போல் ஒரு நாடகம்
இந்த நாள் நாம் காண்கிறோம்
போலி மரியாதையிலே இப்பூமி
போதைக் கொண்டு துள்ளுதய்யா
நேசம் மிக கொண்டதுபோல்
பொய்யான வேஷமிட்டு வாழுதய்யா
A drama of pretending to be kin,
Is what we are witnessing on this day.
In fake politeness and superficial courtesy, this world
Is leaping in high intoxication, oh sir!
Pretending to hold immense affection,
People live wearing false masks, oh sir!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is an upbeat dance number centered on the theme of escape through liquor and the hypocrisy of human society. It portrays a bar or gathering spot as a sanctuary where people with heartbroken or stressed lives gather to forget their troubles, hyperbolically comparing the place to a temple created by ancestors to offer relief.
