Hahahahahahaa Kudi uyara kol uyarum
Kol uyara kodi uyarum Kudi uyara kol uyarum
Kol uyara kodi uyarum ahaa Eththanai azhagaai eththanai valamaai
Engal makkal saagiraar Eriyum nerupil vegiraar
Ellaarum innaattu Mannar endraar paattilae
Engal mannar vaazhugindraar Mannaangkatti veettilae
Idi idiththaal mazhai pozhinthaal Mannarellaam road-la
Sirakodintha paravai kooda irukkuthaiyyaa kootti-la
Kudi uyara kol uyarum Kol uyara kodi uyarum
Pulichchakkaadi madhuvai undu Purushan manaivi saervathundu
Pulichchakkaadi madhuvai undu Purushan manaivi saervathundu
Velicham potta car-um vanthaa Vilagi vilagi padupathundu
Velicham potta car-um vanthaa Vilagi vilagi padupathundu
Kudi uyara kol uyarum Kol uyara kodi uyarum
Muththellaam mookku sali Raththa kaayam raththinamaam
Vairangal natchathiram Vaanavillae vaidooriyam…eppadi
Muththellaam mookku sali Raththa kaayam raththinamaam
Vairangal natchathiram Vaanavillae vaidooriyam…
Kuththukkallu simmaasanam Kuppa thotti rajaangam
Seththu pizhaikkum makkalukku Jegaththai azhikkum sakthi undu
Kudi uyara kol uyarum Kol uyara kodi uyarum
Kudi uyara kol uyarum Kol uyara kodi uyarum
Eththanai azhagaai eththanai valamaai Engal makkal saagiraar
Eriyum nerupil vegiraar
Kudi uyara kol uyarum Kol uyara kodi uyarum
Song Meaning & Analysis
This song, 'Kudi Uyara Kol' from the 1982 film 'Thookku Medai' (Gallows), is a scathing social commentary penned by the renowned lyricist Kalaignar Karunanithi. It uses bitter sarcasm and powerful irony to depict the dire plight of the common people. The opening lines, "Kudi uyara kol uyarum," are a brilliant double entendre; 'kudi' can mean both populace and alcohol, while 'kol' can mean sceptre or a measure. The song sarcastically suggests that as the populace suffers (or drinks more to cope), the power structure (sceptre) rises, but not for their benefit. It highlights the stark contrast between the lofty promises of equality ("everyone is a king") and the harsh reality of their existence, living in mud houses, exposed to the elements, and lacking basic dignity.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of poverty and despair, where solace is found in cheap liquor, and even intimate moments are disrupted by the intrusion of the privileged. The song employs striking metaphors to underscore their destitution: snot is equated to pearls, blood wounds to rubies, and a garbage dump becomes their kingdom. This ironic 'wealth' in suffering culminates in a powerful warning: those who constantly face death and survive possess an inherent, revolutionary strength to dismantle the oppressive world order. It's a poignant critique of societal inequality, false promises, and a call for the downtrodden to recognize their collective power.
