கையில் ஐபோன் இல்லாட்டியும் நாங்க வெயிட்டு
காஸ்ட்லி பைக்கு ஒட்டாட்டியும் நாங்க வெயிட்டு
ப்ராண்டட் டிரஸ்சு போடாட்டியும் நாங்க வெயிட்டு
இருந்தாலும் மனசு முழுக்க ஒயிட்டு
Even if we don't have an iPhone in hand, we are heavy
Even if we don't ride an expensive bike, we are heavy
Even if we don't wear branded clothes, we are heavy
Even so, our hearts are completely pure
வளர்கிறோம் இங்கே
தன னா னா னா னா
வெட்டி பந்தா இங்க....
வேணா னா னா னா
ஆழம் தெரியாம
கால விட வேணா னா னா
மேல போனா கீழ வரும்
தானா தானா தானா
We are growing right here...
Than na na na na
Senseless arrogance here...
Is not needed na na na
Without knowing the depth
Do not step into the water na na na
Whatever goes up will come down
Automatically on its own
அதுருது வெடிக்குது
ஸ்பீக்கரு தெறிக்குது
சூரியன பார்த்து மக்கள்
வயதான பொளக்குது
சிரிக்கிற இளிக்கிற முகம்
ஒன்று பேசுது
பத்து நாளா கழுவாத
புறம் ஒன்று பேசுது
எதுக்கிது ஒலருது கண்டபடி
தெறிக்கிறது
தெருமொனையிலே
நின்னு மொக்க போட்டு
தடுக்குது
It vibrates and explodes
The speaker bursts
Looking at the sun, people
Hold their stomachs in awe
A smiling, grinning face
Speaks one thing to you
An unwashed back for ten days
Speaks another thing behind you
It stammers and blabbers wildly
It shatters
Standing at the street corner dropping dull talk
It blocks your path
மூஞ்சிமேல சிரிக்கிது
திரும்புனா மொறைக்குது
கஷ்டப்பட்டு முன்னேருன்னா
கால வார துடிக்குது
It smiles right at your face
It glares when you turn around
When someone works hard and rises
It is eager to pull their legs down
வயிறெல்லாம் எரியுது தெரியுது
கன்னத்துல கொலைவெறி தாண்டவம் ஆடுது
குண்டுசட்டி கோவிந்தன் மூஞ்சில
நரம்பு பொடைக்க வெறி ஏறுது ஏறுது
Its stomach burns with jealousy, it shows
Rage dances wildly on its cheeks
On the face of that frog in a well
Veins swell as fury rises and rises
என்னை இப்ப கெடுத்துட சிதைத்திட
மொக்க பையன் கூட சேந்து
திட்டம் போடுது
கொழம்புது.......கொழம்புது
வானத்த தொட்டபடி தெரியாம முழிக்குது
To ruin and destroy me now
Joining hands with a useless fellow
It hatches a plan
It gets confused... confused
Having touched the sky, it blinks cluelessly
உன்னால் என்னை ஒன்னும் பண்ண முடியாது
பண்ண முடியாது
தன்னம்பிக்கை ராஜா தோல்வி கிடையாது
தோல்வி கிடையாது
மொக்க கதை கேட்டு கிழியுது காது
கிழியுது காது
சௌண்ட ஏத்து இப்ப போடு ஆட்டம் போடு
ஹேய் யா......
You cannot do a single thing to me
Cannot do anything...
The king of self-confidence knows no defeat
Knows no defeat...
Listening to boring talk, ears are tearing
Ears are tearing...
Turn up the sound now and start dancing
Hey ya...

பையில் காசு இல்லாட்டியும் நாங்க வெயிட்டு

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This track is a youthful, energetic anthem celebrating self-esteem, friendship, and Tamil pride over material wealth and superficial status symbols. The lyricist asserts that luxury items like iPhones, expensive bikes, or designer wear do not dictate a person's worth or 'weight' (attitude and confidence). Despite lacking formal jobs or heavy pockets, the group stays grounded with pure hearts and strong brotherhood.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Kaiyil Iphone illatiyum naanga weightu / Costly bike otaatiyum naanga weightu”
Successive lines end with the rhyming word 'weightu' to establish a rhythmic beat and reinforce the central refrain.
Metaphor
“Naanga ongi adcha ondra ton’u”
Refers to a punch weighing 'one and a half tons', hyperbolically metaphorizing strength and impact.
Contrast / Anthesis (Muran)
“Moonjimela sirikkithu / Thirumbuna moraikkithu”
Contrasts two opposing behaviors—smiling to one's face versus glaring behind one's back.
Did you know?
Trivia
Hip Hop Tamizha (Aadhi and Jeeva) popularized independent Tamil hip-hop culture. The slang term 'weightu' in Chennai youth culture denotes strength, attitude, and impressive influence, irrespective of financial status.
