The lyrics paint a vivid picture of hard work and rebellion, with lines like ‘We’re the ones who walked barefoot through the mud.’ The poet uses the imagery of paddy fields and illicit liquor to contrast generations. Each verse is a sharp critique wrapped in rhythmic repetition, creating a powerful call to action.
Pandu Kudicha PazhamkanjidushiruHave you seen the vigor we got from eating yesterday’s rice gruel?
Ningalu Kandoda PonganmareHave you noticed it, you bunch of fools?
Cheru Chavitty Nadannoru NammudeWe’re the ones who walked barefoot through the mud.
Kayyuukkkku Kandoda Freekkanmare AahhHave you seen our muscle power, you ‘freakers’? Ahh!
Muttolam Cherulla Mundakan PaadathuIn the Mundakan paddy fields where the mud is knee-deep.
Muppathu Nazhika KoythavaraWe’re the ones who harvested crops for hours on end.
Muttilirangathe Paari NadakkanaYou lot just float around without ever stepping into the dirt.
Ningaleyaarippo KaanuvaanaaaWho’d even want to look at you now?
Ayyayye NaanakkedaneOh my, it’s such a shame.
Ningade Kaaryam Pokkaaney MakkaleyYour future is a lost cause, my children.
MurukkithuppeyChew it and spit it out.
KulukkithuppeyShake it and spit it out.
MurukkithuppeyChew it and spit it out.
KulukkithuppeyShake it and spit it out.
Koda Kalakki VaattiyeduthathuYou’re the ones who brewed and distilled illicit liquor.
Mookkattam Monthi NadannavaraaYou walked around after drinking it to the brim.
Kettukanakkinu Therutha BeedikalBundles upon bundles of rolled ‘beedis’.
Raavum Pakalum ValichavaraaYou’re the ones who smoked them day and night.
Aayoru Kaalathu Naattaarkkum VeettaarkkumBack in those days, for the locals and your own family.
Ere Durithangal NalkiyoraaYou caused so much misery.
Ippo Parayunna Thathwangal OnnumeAll these high principles you’re preaching now.
Swapnathil Polum KaanaathavaraaYou never even saw them in your dreams back then.
Aadyam Ningalu NannaavuFirst, you guys improve yourselves.
Pinne Nammale NannaakkuThen come and try to fix us.
MurukkithuppeyChew it and spit it out.
KulukkithuppeyShake it and spit it out.

KulukkithuppeyShake it and spit it out.
Kaalavum Maarelle Kolavum MarelleTimes have changed, and so have the trends.
Kaanam Vittum Onam Unnunnoru KaalamaanenteyappaaIt’s the age of ‘selling land to celebrate Onam’, my dear father.
Vithu Vithakkaathe Koyyaan NinakkaatheWithout sowing seeds, without even thinking of harvesting.
Naalu Neram VettivizhunganelIf you just want to gobble down food four times a day.
Koolikku PokanamedaaYou’ve got to go out and work for wages, man.
Joliyum Kooliyum Old Fashion DaddyJobs and wages are old fashioned, Daddy.
Ningalulla Kaalam VareAs long as you guys are around.
Njangalennum HappyWe’re always happy.
Paadathu Joliyengil Varampathedaa KooliIf the work is in the field, the wage is paid right on the ridge.
Ninneyokke TheettippottiFeeding and raising you lot.
