Hey, bottle!
This bottle!
To a ribbon song,
A concert on the new road!
Hey, bottle!
This bottle!
To a ribbon song,
A concert on the new road!
Clinking in the mixer,
Poured out like Sasikala,
Let us pour it to the brim,
Come with trust and drink it down!
True equality is
The liquor tavern!
A beautiful tavern's
Melody!
True equality is
The liquor tavern!
A beautiful tavern's
Melody!
Dhimmappa dhimara pappa
Dhimmappa dhimara pappa
Dhimmappa dhimara pappa
Dhimmappa dhimara pappa
Pipree pee pee
Like melted gold poured out,
Look how he made it!
On the bottle, Radha's name—
Who was it that wrote it?
Rolling her eyes as she struts,
Here comes the chariot!
Just to cool down the sorrow,
Chug down the beer!
Waking up in the morning,
The hands start trembling.
Only when an eye-opener goes in,
Does the shaking stop!
Lying flat on the back,
Staring up and daydreaming...
Only when that dose goes in,
Does this world make sense!
Does this world make sense!
Hey!
True equality is
The liquor tavern!
A beautiful tavern's
Melody!
Dhimmappa dhimara pappa
Dhimmappa dhimara pappa
Dhimmappa dhimara pappa
Dhimmappa dhimara pappa
Pipree pee pee
Because gas prices went up,
We drank in the morning!
Because petrol prices went crazy,
We drank in the evening!
Because they carve up the country
And sell it away,
We got pissed off and drank!
Over things that did not even matter,
My friend, we drank way too much!
Hey, four streets away,
He runs a wine shop.
At the corner of the next street,
A khaki-capped cop stands waiting.
For a quarter bottle, ten rupees extra
He demands on top!
With no money left for water,
He gulps it down neat!
True equality is
The liquor tavern!
A beautiful tavern's
Melody!
Dhimmappa dhimara pappa
Dhimmappa dhimara pappa
Dhimmappa dhimara pappa
Dhimmappa dhimara pappa
Pipree pee pee
The one who drank his fill,
Just like a little baby,
Lies asleep on the ground.
While the one who looted
The town's very stomach,
Walks tall with his head held high!
The guy in the crisp silk shirt
Is the one ruining the nation!
The very one calling us drunks
Is the one running the government!
Taking Gandhi currency notes,
You run your liquor shop.
Then on Gandhi Jayanti,
Why do you shut the doors?
Spoiled, rotten side-snacks
You dump onto our heads!
If your mother asks who is there,
You curse us as filthy drunks!
Do not talk bad words, Mammu!
Dhimmappa dhimara pappa

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Bottle Radha is a satirical Chennai Gaana song composed by Sean Roldan for the film Bottle Radha. Sung with immense energy by Gana Balamurugan, Gana Chella Muthu, and Gana Apelow, the track delves into the life of an alcohol-dependent protagonist while providing sharp, humorous social commentary on state politics, inflation, corrupt practices, and societal hypocrisy.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Metaphor (Uruvam)

Samathuvam adhu Baana koodame

Compares the liquor shop/bar hall directly to a sanctuary of absolute social equality where class, caste, and creed boundaries disappear.

Simile (Uvamai)

Kuchavan ellam Kulanthai yaatam Paduthu kidakuraan

Compares an honest, poor working-class person lying helpless to an innocent sleeping child.

Irony and Satire

Gandhi note ah vaangi thane Kadaiya nadathura Appuram gandhi jayanthi Yenda kadaiya moodura

Highlights the paradox of using Gandhi currency notes to sell liquor all year while hypocritically closing liquor shops on Gandhi Jayanthi.

Trivia

Composed by Sean Roldan, the song combines authentic North Chennai Gaana rhythms with brass wind arrangements, creating a unique theatrical folk soundscape that critiques state-run liquor monopolies through street-smart humor.
