“Kombari Vettapuli” is a multimedia journey through Tamil folklore that explodes with Dhee’s voice. Imagine folk music filling the dusty plains of rural India with movement and lyrics that paint desert mirages. Vivek’s metaphors and earthy wisdom resonate in translation, weaving a tale of a tigress hunt that’s as much about life’s complexities as chasing predators.
Opening with a playful wink, the song compares hunting to a sheep in tiger clothes. It’s a playful nod to appearances’ deception and the danger that often lies beneath them. G. V. Prakash Kumar’s masterful composition feels like the land’s heartbeat as Dhee’s voice soars through the verses.
The lyrics ‘Kombari Vetta Puli Paru,’ become a vivid tapestry. We see a “gentile guy standing before a gun,” a poignant symbol of vulnerability in the face of violence. A “bug crushed for licking sugar,” a warning about desire, appears. The literal and metaphorical tigress remains a constant reminder of our primal forces.
CAPTAIN MILLER (FILM) MOVIE | KOMBARI VETTAPULI SONG LYRICS ENGLISH MEANING
Kombari Vetta Puli Paru,
Look at the Kombaari Hunting Tiger
Adhu Koothada Pona Kadha Kelu,
And listen to the story of its going dance
Vengaikku Vesham Kattum Adu,
Sheep making up a Tiger
Ada Atukku Yedhu Puli Valu,
But yaar, where is the Tiger’s tail in the Sheep?
Dhenam Nellarukkum Achi, Pasi Unnum Kadha Pola,
The always good feel Aunt like the case hunger eating
Avan Katti Vacha Koattaikkulla Padhungi Ponan,
In the fort he had built he stealthily went
Oru Perazhaga Paka, Avan Keatta Kadha Noakka,
Seeing a great beauty watching all the bad things
Avan Thola Pona Mannukkulla, Thayangi Ponan,
into the leather-like earth hesitatingly he went
Oyara Thoondilonnu Kanu,
Look at a uniquely stylish hook
Vala Kollama Matikichu Meenu,
even in the small net got caught the fish!
Thuppakki Munna Nikkum Koanu,
A Gentile guy standing before a gun!
Oru Pen Mana Thedi Vandha Anu,
A man come in search of a love dame!
Ada Ottada Thatta Pona, Adhu Kothura Sarpamachu,
And yaar going to remove the dust, it becomes a biting snake
Othadam Kutha Pachala Vacha Kuthura Nanjachu,
and when applied ointment, it becomes burning poison
Sakkara Nakka Nikkira Vandu Chattini Ayachu,
The bug that stands to lick sugar has been crushed
Puli Thodum Kadippo Oru Idugadachu,
When the tiger gets angry, forest becomes graveyard
Pudhu Varalara Puyalaru Kuri Vachachu,
the storm river has already aimed to be the new History
Kombari Vetta Puli Paru,
Look at the Kombaari Hunting Tiger
Adhu Koothada Pona Kadha Kelu,
And listen to the story of its going dance
Vengaikku Vesham Kattum Adu,
Sheep making up a Tiger
Oru Pen Mana Thedi Vandha Anu,
But yaar, where is the Tiger’s tail in the Sheep?
Velakku Oliya Pakka, Avan Valanju Olinju Poga,
To see lamp light himself going by turns and stealths
Oru Velicha Nelavu, Parisa Kodukka Erangi Vandhale,
To give a bright moon as a gift, herself coming down
Iduppu Asayundheru, Thangam Thelicha Kalasa Maru,
Hip like the shaking chariot, breast like gold-coated water-pot
Ava Siricha Velicham, Seemaya Kadandhum Kedachurukame,
And illumination her laughter gives, is it true has crossed the borders?
Vanappula Peya Ninna, Manasula Atha Dhana,
In the beauty, stands like dangerous angel, In the heart, like the loving mother
Usurula Oarazhi Charaya Neeraga Chendhuputta,
In the blood, she is mixed like well kept liquor!
Kombari Vetta Puli Paru, Adhu Koothada Pona Kadha Kelu,
Look at the Kombaari Hunting Tiger, and listen to the story of its going dance
Dhenam Nellarukkum Achi, Pasi Unnum Kadha Pola,
The always good feel aunt like the case hunger eating
Avan Katti Vacha Koattaikkulla, Padhungi Ponan,
In the fort he had built he stealthily went
Oyara Thoondilonnu Kanu, Vala Kollama Matikichu Meenu,
Look at a uniquely stylish hook even in the small net got caught the fish!
Thuppakki Munna Nikkum Koanu, Oru Pen Mana Thedi Vandha Anu,
A Gentile guy standing before a gun! A man come in search of a love dame!
