நித்த நித்தம் துயின்றேழுந்து
புத்தியில்லா புல்லருடன் போக்கி
அத்தமித்தவுடன் விழு பணத்தை
கல்லை மண்ணை தொழுதற்கோ
யான் பிறந்தேன்?
To wake up everyday,
And live with monumental idiots,
And to wait for the sunset when I
Pray to money and stone and sand -
Is this why I was born?

Buthyilla pullaruda, Monumental idiots. Are u sure its the same?
Literally, it's not the same. Infact, it is something more intense. 'Monumental idiots' doesn't even begin to describe the feeling of 'butthiyilla pullar'. A more accurate translation would be - Thoughtless pieces of dirt with no imagination and no resolve. You can see the problem here, I am sure :)
