Singleu Lyrics Translation (from “Poikkal Kuthirai”)
Madankarky compares solitary living to cosmic forces: ‘The spinning earth is one and only, even the Almighty is singular.’ G. V. Prakash asserts ‘Even if you smash the sky, single emerges,’ framing solitude as unbreakable strength.
Singleu Na SingleuI’m single, yes, I’m single.
Singleu Na SingleuI’m single, yes, I’m single.
Aagasamum Oththa OththaThe vast sky is one and only,
Sooriyanum Oththaand even the sun stands alone.
Yei Annaththaium Oththa OththaThe wild swan is also one and only,
Kalu Kooda Oththaeven a simple stone is singular.
Suththum Boomi Oththa OththaThe spinning earth is one and only,
Sami Kooda Oththaeven the Almighty is singular.
En Machan Inga Oththa OththaMy ‘friend’ ‘Machan’ stands here all alone,
Vanthu Paru Geththacome and witness his incredible pride.
Singleu Na SingleuI’m single, yes, I’m single.
Singleu Na SingleuI’m single, yes, I’m single.
Ye Porappinga Oththa OththaBirth is a solitary event,
Savu Kooda Oththaand death is solitary too.
Ye Naduvula NadakkumEverything that happens in between,
Intha Kacherium Oththathis life’s performance is a solo act.
Pattum Inga Oththa OththaThe song here is one and only,
Thalam Kooda Oththaeven the rhythm is singular.
Ye Ulagathula Yar IrukaWho else in this world is there,
Machan Pola Kuththato dance with such abandon like my friend?
Singleu Na SingleuI’m single, yes, I’m single.

Kal Pona Padu PadukkumWhen his foot lands, everything bows down.
Kal Pona Nadu NadungumWhen his foot lands, the whole country shakes.
Kulunga Kulunga Kulunga KulungaShaking, shaking, shaking, shaking!
Kal Pona Kaththu KaththikkumWhen his foot lands, the wind screams.
Kal Pona Baththu VathikkumWhen his foot lands, the heat is overwhelming.

Singleu Na SingleuI’m single, yes, I’m single.
Vanatha Idichalum Varum Singleu SingleuEven if the sky’s smashed, a ‘single’ spirit emerges.
