யார் கிட்ட மோதுறேன்னு எண்ணி பாரடா
ஓட ஓட வெரட்டி தண்ணி காட்டுவேன்
Think about who you are clashing with, man!
I will chase you down, make you run, and show you your place!
சிட்டெறும்பு சிறுத்தையோட போட்டி இல்லடா
வேலியெல்லாம் தாண்டி மாலை சூட்டுவேன்
A tiny ant cannot compete with a cheetah, man!
Crossing all hurdles, I will wear the garland of victory!

I will bowl a yorker and show you my skill!
அத நோ பால்லா மாத்தி அதில் ரன் எடுப்பேன்
I will turn that into a no-ball and score runs off it!

A dance competition on the radio? There is no chance, man!

I will execute the job flawlessly, man!
In that happiness, I will down a quarter of liquor at night, man!

என்ன மோதி ஜெயிச்சவன் யாரும் இல்லடா
கண்ண மூடி நடந்தாலும் கையில் வெற்றிடா
I will set a trap and catch you, you cannot escape!
A rat cannot clash with a tiger and win!
பொறி வச்சு பிடிப்பேன்டா தப்ப முடியாது

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
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.
