Sammama panguan equal share.
Kadavul seatula kerchief pottuDid men try to reserve God’s seat by throwing a ‘kerchief’,
Aambala pudichanajust to claim it for themselves?

Naya paisa kooli illathere isn’t a single penny of wages.
Masam poora oda thenjumWorn out from running all month long,
Moonu nalu leaveum illathere isn’t even three or four days of leave.
Sogam mattum sorakkuraYou only pour out sadness,
Endhira mandhaiyaaaoh, you herd of machines!
