யார் அடிச்சா யார் அடிச்சா
சொல்லிவிடு
மனம் வலிச்சா மனம் வலிச்சா
மாத்திவிடு
Who struck you, who struck you? Speak out and tell.
Speak out and tell.
If your heart hurts, if your heart hurts,
Let it heal / Change it.
இரண்டு ஜீவன்
நடுவில் நடக்கும் வழக்கு
இதில் இருண்டு போச்சு
வெளிச்சம்மான கிழக்கு
Between two souls, there goes
a dispute.
In this, even the bright
East has darkened.
இடம் மாற்றி நட்ட மரம்
தடுமாறி விழுதே
மனம் மாறி வாழ தினம்
வழி தேடி அழுதே
A tree transplanted elsewhere,
stumbles and falls.
Trying to change mind and live daily,
it cries searching for a path.

மாத்திவிடு
Who struck you, who struck you?

தாழ்த்தப்பட்ட பேரு
இது பாவப்பட்ட ஊரு
பிடி சாம்பல் ஆனது
எந்த சாதி கூறு
A name that has been oppressed,
this is a cursed town.
Once reduced to a handful of ashes,
what caste segment remains?
ஆட்டமெல்லாம் ஆடி
அட ஆளவட்டம் பாடி
அரசாண்ட போதிலும்
ஆறடிதான் மீதி
Having danced all the dances,
and sung royal praises,
even if one ruled as a king,
only six feet of land remains.
சிவனோட சாதிகூட
கீழ் சாதிதான்
அவனோட ஆலயத்தில்
மேல் சாதி ஏன்
Even Lord Shiva's caste
is considered a lower caste.
Then in His temple,
why is there an upper caste?
விண்ணும் மண்ணும் பொதுவிலே
மனுஷனுக்கு தெரியல
ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ....
ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ....
Sky and earth are common to all,
yet humans fail to realize it.

Let it heal / Change it.
தத்து தந்த சொந்தம்
அட தத்தெடுத்த பந்தம்
இரண்டோடும் ஏங்குதே
தன்னந்தனி நெஞ்சம்
The kinship that gave adoption,
ah, the bond that was adopted,
yearns between both,
the lonely heart.
நட்பென்னும் வார்த்தை
அதில் விட்டு தந்த வாழ்க்கை
விதியோட பாதையில்
போகுதொரு யாக்க
The word called friendship,
and the life sacrificed for it,
on fate's path,
a body travels along.
உயிர் கூடு மாற சொன்னா
இது நியாயமா
பலி ஆடு ஆகா சொல்லும்
சமுதாயமா
If asked to swap life/souls,
is this fair?
Asking one to become a sacrificial goat,
is this a society?
வேரும் வேரும் சேர்ந்திருச்சு
விழுது தானே விட்டிருச்சு
ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ....
ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ....
Roots joined together,
and aerial roots sprouted naturally.
Hoo hoo hooo…
Hoo oo hooo…..

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Yaar Adichaa' from the movie Pirappu (2007), written by Pa. Vijay, is a deeply philosophical and socially conscious track. It expresses profound grief over interpersonal conflicts, societal injustice, and the tragedy of human existence. The song laments how bitterness between two souls darkens even the brightest hope (symbolized as the East) and leaves individuals feeling like uprooted trees struggling to survive in alien soil.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Sollividu / Maathividu”
The lines end with similar sounding words 'Sollividu' and 'Maathividu', establishing a rhythmic flow.
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Vazhakku / Kizhakku”
The words 'Vazhakku' (dispute) and 'Kizhakku' (east) end with the same syllable (-kku), creating end rhyme.
Metaphor
“Idam maattri natta maram thadumaari vizhuthae”
A person forced out of their natural setting or identity is metaphorically compared to a transplanted tree failing to take root.
Ethugai (Second Letter Harmony)
“Thaththu thantha sontham / Ada thathedutha bantham”
The second letter 'th' (த்) matches in 'Thaththu' and 'thathedutha', conforming to traditional Tamil Ethugai.
