Yaar kitta mothuraennu ennipaarada
Oda oda varati varati thaani kaatuven
Sitterumbu siruthai oda pooti illada
Veliyellam thandi maala sootuven
Oru fast ballu potu unna thookuven
Atha wide balla maathi athil run edupen
Oru yorker potu konjam kaatuven
Atha no baala maathi athil run edopen
Kaalam maari kila thali paadam solli kodupen
Yaaru neeya….Male :Poda dei
Yaar kitta mothuraennu ennipaarada
Oda oda varati varati thaani kaatuven
Sitterumbu siruthai oda pooti illada
Veliyellam thandi maala sootuven
Comedy ku peru edutha aalu neeyada
Machi neram paathu uruva poren vettiya thaanda
Vaanoliyil dance potti chance eh illada
Un vaarthaikellam anjuravan chinna pulla da
Kariyatha kachithama senju mudipen da
Antha sandhosathil rathiriyil quater adipen da
Ungapanuku ungapanaiya mothi jeipen
Appatucker na kaariyatha senju mudippen
Poda ada poda naa pottiyila jeikka poren
Yaar kitta mothuraennu ennipaarada
Oda oda varati varati thaani kaatuven
Sittu sittu sittu
Sitterumbu siruthai oda pooti illada
Veliyellam thandi maala sootuven
Enna mothi jeichavan yaarum illada
Kanna moodi nadanthaalum kaiyil vetri da
Pori vachu pidipen da thappa mudiyathu
Oru puliyoda eli mothi vella mudiyathu
Tumbler thanni kulla
Naanum angu neechal adipen da
Naan kambanoda veetulaiyae
Kavithai padipen da
Unna pathi unmaiyellam pottu udaipen
Antha pennoda kaiyalaiyae thorathi adipen
Poda ada poda naa pottiyila jeikka poren
Ada dada…ada dadadada
Yaar kitta mothuraennu ennipaarada
Oda oda varati varati thaani kaatuven
Sitterumbu siruthai oda pooti illada
Veliyellam thandi maala sootuven
Oru fast ballu potu unna thookuven
Atha wide balla maathi athil run edupen
Oru yorker potu konjam kaatuven
Atha no baala maathi athil run edopen
Kaalam maari kila thali paadam solli kodupen
Yae chee poo chumma rousu adikaatha po
Poiduraaa
Think about who you're messing with, man!
I'll chase you down and run you ragged!
A tiny ant is no match for a leopard, man!
I'll jump past every hurdle and marry her!
I'll bowl a fastball and take your wicket!
I'll turn it into a wide ball and score runs off it!
I'll bowl a yorker and show you what I've got!
I'll turn it into a no-ball and score runs off it!
When the tables turn, I'll push you down and teach you a lesson!
Who, you? Get lost, man!
Think about who you're messing with, man!
I'll chase you down and run you ragged!
A tiny ant is no match for a leopard, man!
I'll jump past every hurdle and marry her!
You're just a guy known for being a laughingstock, man!
Buddy, I'm just waiting for the right moment to strip you down!
A dance contest on the radio? There's no chance, man!
Only a little kid would be scared of your words, man!
I'll get this job done with perfection, man!
And in that celebration, I'll down a drink at night, man!
I'll take on the greatest boss of all and win!
I'm a big shot, I'll see this mission through!
Get lost, hey get lost, I'm going to win this contest!
Think about who you're messing with, man!
I'll chase you down and run you ragged!
Chittu, chittu, chittu...
A tiny ant is no match for a leopard, man!
I'll jump past every hurdle and marry her!
No one has ever beaten me in a clash, man!
Even if I walk with my eyes closed, victory is mine, man!
I'll set a trap and catch you, you can't escape!
A mouse can never fight a tiger and win!
Even inside a glass of water,
I can easily swim, man!
Right in the home of Kamban (the legendary Tamil poet),
I can recite my poetry, man!
I'll spill the beans and reveal the whole truth about you!
I'll make that girl chase you away with her own hands!
Get lost, hey get lost, I'm going to win this contest!
Ada thadha... ada thadhathadha...
Think about who you're messing with, man!
I'll chase you down and run you ragged!
A tiny ant is no match for a leopard, man!
I'll jump past every hurdle and marry her!
I'll bowl a fastball and take your wicket!
I'll turn it into a wide ball and score runs off it!
I'll bowl a yorker and show you what I've got!
I'll turn it into a no-ball and score runs off it!
When the tables turn, I'll push you down and teach you a lesson!
Hey, get lost! Don't try to act tough, just go!
Just get lost!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song from the movie 'Ya Ya' is a comical, fast-paced challenge song where two rivals engage in humorous banter, boasting about their skills while belittling each other. Using exaggerated metaphors drawn from cricket matches, animal rivalries (ant vs. cheetah, rat vs. tiger), and absurd claims like swimming in a water tumbler or reciting poetry in Kamban's house, the lyrics celebrate over-the-top bravado and friendly rivalry.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Metaphor

Sitterumbu siruthai oda pooti illada

Compares the rival to a tiny ant (sitterumbu) and oneself to a cheetah (siruthai) to highlight the vast difference in power and speed.

Hyperbole

Tumbler thanni kulla Naanum angu neechal adipen da

An extreme exaggeration claiming the capability to swim inside a single glass tumbler of water to demonstrate supreme adaptability and skill.

Monai (First-letter Alliteration)

Oru fast ballu potu unna thookuven / Oru yorker potu konjam kaatuven

Both lines start with 'Oru', creating an initial rhyme/alliteration pattern characteristic of Tamil poetry.
