ஆண்கள் மனமே அப்படிதான்
அது அடிக்கடி மாறும் இப்படித்தான்
இந்த ஆண்கள் மனமே அப்படிதான்
அது அடிக்கடி மாறும் இப்படித்தான்
திருமணமாகிடும் முன்னே
ஒன்றும் தெரியாதவர்போல் இருப்பாங்க
திருமணமாகி மனைவியைக் கண்டால்
வெடுக்கின்னு முறைப்பாங்க........
Men's heart is just like that
It changes often just like this
This men's heart is just like that
It changes often just like this
Before getting married
They act as if they know nothing innocent
Once married, when they look at their wife
They suddenly glare sharply at her
ஹாஹான்
Hahaan
ஆண்கள் மனமே அப்படிதான்
அது அடிக்கடி மாறும் இப்படித்தான்

பெண் : ஹையே ..
பெண்கள் குணமே அப்படித்தான்

Women's nature is just like that
Their speech and conduct are like this
Female: Oh my!
Male: Women's nature is just like that
Their speech and conduct are like this
மணமாகு முன்னே வாயும் பேசாமல்
மதிப்பு மரியாதை தருவாங்க
திருமணமான பின்னே வரிந்து
கட்டிக் கொண்டு குஸ்திக்கும் வருவாங்க
Before marriage, without opening their mouth
They offer respect and reverence
After marriage, rolling up their sleeves
They tie up their clothes and come to wrestle!
ஹோ ஹோஹோ
Ho ho ho
பெண்கள் குணமே அப்படித்தான்
அதன் பேச்சும் போக்கும் இப்படித்தான்
Women's nature is just like that
Their speech and conduct are like this
அன்பு கனிந்திட கைகளை நீட்டி
அருகினில் வாருங்க
ஓஹோ!
இன்ப வாழ்வில் சில நாட்களானபின்
எட்டியும் போவாங்க........
Extending hands as love ripens
They say, come closer
Male: Ohoo
Female: After a few days in happy life
They pull away and go far
ஆண்கள் மனமே அப்படிதான்
அது அடிக்கடி மாறும் இப்படித்தான்
Men's heart is just like that

போட்டா போட்டியில் பெண்களுக்குள்ளே
பொறாமையடைவாங்க
ஆமா!
போனா போகுதுன்னு ஆண்கள் இருந்தால்
பொறுமையைக் குடைவாங்க......
In playful competition among women
They become envious of each other
Female: Yes
Male: If men let things pass calmly
They test and erode men's patience
பெண்கள் குணமே அப்படித்தான்
அதன் பேச்சும் போக்கும் இப்படித்தான்
Women's nature is just like that

மானே தேனே என்பதெல்லாம்
ஒரு மாதம் சென்றதும் மாறிடுதே
வணக்கமும் பயமும் பக்திகளும்
ஒரு வாரம் சென்றதும் ஓடிடுதே
ஹா...ஹா...ஹா...
All the endearing terms like 'my deer, my honey'
Change after just one month passes
Male: Respect, fear, and devotion
Run away after just one week passes!
Female: Haa haa haa
Thinking women are passive like turtles
Men try to dance over and dominate them
Not stopping at that, watching for the right moment
They even dare to hit!
ஆமைகளென்ற பெண்களை எண்ணி
ஆட்டம் போடுவாங்க
அதுவும் போதாமல் சமயம் பார்த்தே
அடிக்கவும் துணிவாங்க..........!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Aangal Maname Appadithaan is a playful, comic duet from the 1958 Tamil film Naan Valartha Thangai, composed by Pendyala Nageswara Rao with lyrics by Pattukkottai Kalyanasundaram. Performed by T. M. Soundararajan and P. Susheela, the song features a humorous musical duel between the male and female perspectives, teasing the behavioral shifts in men and women before and after marriage. The lyricist uses sharp, relatable domestic humor to compare how innocent courtships transform into dramatic marital squabbles. Despite the teasing accusations of moodiness, jealousy, and theatrical arguments, the song maintains a lighthearted, playful tone that highlights the endearing, lifelong banter inherent in marital relationships.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Edukki / Ethukai (Second-letter rhyme)
“Aangal maname appadithaan / Adhu adikkadi maarum ippadi thaan”
The second character of adjacent lines rhymes, such as 'Aangal' and 'Adhu', or 'Pengal' and 'Adhan', giving the rhythm a balanced bounce.
Rhyme & Assonance (Maanae Thaenae)
“Maanae thaenae enbathellaam”
The pairing of 'Maanae' (deer) and 'Thaenae' (honey) uses internal rhyming of romantic pet names to mock cheesy pre-marital affection.
Metaphor / Simile (Uwamai)
“Aamaigal endra pengalai enni”
Comparing women to meek turtles ('aamaigal') to illustrate how men incorrectly perceive them as harmlessly passive before marriage.
