Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo! Irudhi varaiyil indha sollisai kalaiyum, Isai mattum en thunai
Ini thuvakkam kalai thuraiyil, paaka mattum than sulabam, Aatam kaatidum ulagam
Saadhithavargal kuraivu, paadhiyil vittu vilagiyadhaal
Oru moota katti vekka sonan kanavugala
Ada aasai ellam moodi vechen manasu kulla
Naanum kaathuruken varusham full-ah
Bayathil, oru vela nenachadhu nadakalana
Ethana varusham? ethana kanavu
Nanum thodangunen en siru vayadhil
Inum vida villai aasaigal manadhil
Dhinam thorathuren vinnai thodum vara thaan
Varum kaalame inge yennoda era
Nambikka? Nambikka ilana kaathu irundhu paaru
Kanda kanavellam nejathil nadakum da
Nanum erakki vekkuren nenjil ulla baaram
Pazhasa maraka, uyara parapen, vazhkai uru maarum
Enadhu kaayam aarum, nan vandha vazhiyil yaavum
Udhavi ena yaarum kai kodukka villai indha samudhayam
Pala iravugal urakkam ilamal uzhaithaal
Pala madanga than uyarvu varum da oru naal
Nanum kaathuruken varusham full-ah
Bayathil, oru vela kanavugal nadakalana
Ethana kozhappam manadhil, dhinamum pozhappa nenach
Enoda valarchi, edhuku unmaya marachu
Makkal-in nanmaya parikkum, kevalam panatha madhikkum, vela thevai ila
Perusa kaasuku aasai illa
Sethadhum ellarum mannu kulla
Mothathil mathavanukaaga vaazhndhu yaaruku enna laabam
Yen thani isai kalai ku indha saabam? Ini
Tamizh sollisai ku pirandhidum oru kaalam, edhir kaalam
Indha nilai ini maarum, oru alai uruvaagum, tamizh Ulaginai aazhum
En kadhaigalai naanum ezhudhi, dhinam naan sindhum kaneer thuli
Kaagidhathil vizhundhida vaarthai ellam thee
Nanum kaathuruken varusham full-ah
Iniyum bayam ilai kanavugal nadandhidum paar
Ezhundhaalum kanavugal azhiyadhu
Vizhundhalum en kadhai mudiyadhu
Irangaamal, uzhaikaamal kidaikaadhu, oru podhum nadakadhu
Uyir pogum andha nilamaiyil kuda vana vilangu ena naan muzhangida




Yaar thaduppinum en kaal thadam nilai aagum, nigal kaalam enadhaagum
Yen na, idhu yennoda yennoda ERA

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Era's song Era describe a society that values comfort, conformity, and banality over complexity and intellectualism. The song criticizes the pseudo-intellectualism and superiority complex of those who embrace ignorance and simplicity, as well as the consumption of alcohol and the glorification of violence. The song also comments on the influence of popular culture and social media on society, particularly the superficiality of Instagram and the influence of media outlets like Telecinco. Overall, the song seems to warn against the dangers of blindly embracing societal norms and urges listeners to see beyond the surface level and embrace their own individuality.


The use of gorras (caps) and pseudo divas pop (fake pop divas) suggest a sense of superficiality and lack of depth in the society being described. Meanwhile, the phrase "violencia sin control" (violence without control) and "naturaleza en selección" (nature in selection) hint at a society that is not sustainable in the long-term, possibly even suggesting a dystopian future where violence and nature are in constant conflict.


One interesting fact about this song is that it was released in 1996 as the title track of Era's debut album. The song quickly became a hit in France, where it topped the charts for several weeks. Another interesting fact is that Era is a musical project created by French composer Eric Lévi, who is known for his use of Gregorian chants in his music. In fact, Era's music has been described as a fusion of New Age and Gregorian chant elements with modern pop and rock music.
