Akka akka nee akka illai
Male :Mama mama nee mama illai
Thanthai yaaru thaai yaaru naanga paarththathillai
Antha yaekkam endrum illaiyae
Akka akka nee akka illai
Male :Mama mama nee mama illai
Both :Naanga unga pillaigal polae…..ae…
Akka akka nee akka illai
Male :Mama mama nee mama illai
Thanthai yaaru thaai yaaru naanga paarththathillai
Antha yaekkam endrum illaiyae
Akka akka nee amma polae
Male :Mama mama nee appa polae
Both :Naanga unga pillaigal polae…..ae…
Panbu enbathai paasam enbathai
Anbu enbathai akkaa sonnaal
Ulagam enpathai uravu enbathai
Unmai enbathai mama sonnaar
Akkaavin theerppukkoru appeal illa
Mamavum vaarththai maariyathilla
Engalukku vaalaatta sudhanthiram illa
Ungalukkum kobam vanthaal nirantharam illa
Akka akka nee akka illai
Male :Mama mama nee mama illai
Thanthai yaaru thaai yaaru naanga paarththathillai
Antha yaekkam endrum illaiyae
Akka akka nee akka illai
Male :Mama mama nee mama illai
Both :Naanga unga pillaigal polae…..ae…
Akka akka nee akka illai
Male :Mama mama nee mama illai
Iniyoru piravi engalukirunthaa
Unga pillaiyaai naanga porakkanum
Thanga ullaame anbu vellamae
Unga paaraththa naaga sumakkanum
Naanga oru nandri solla vaai mozhi illa
Kanneera pola oru vaarththaiyum illa
Akkaalukku idhuvaraikkum pillainga illai
Engala nenachchuththaano peththukkavilla
Akka akka nee akka illai
Male :Mama mama nee mama illai
Thanthai yaaru thaai yaaru naanga paarththathillai
Both :Antha yaekkam endrum illaiyae
Akka akka nee amma polae
Male :Mama mama nee appa polae
Both :Naanga unga pillaigal polae…..ae…
Sister, sister, you are not just a sister to us,
Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you are not just a brother-in-law!
We never got to see who our father and mother were,
Yet we never felt that yearning at all!
Sister, sister, you are not just a sister to us,
Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you are not just a brother-in-law!
We are just like your very own children...
Sister, sister, you are not just a sister to us,
Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you are not just a brother-in-law!
We never got to see who our father and mother were,
Yet we never felt that yearning at all!
Sister, sister, you are just like a mother,
Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you are just like a father,
We are just like your very own children...
What it means to have good values and affection,
And what true love is, our sister taught us.
What the world is and what family ties mean,
And what honesty is, our brother-in-law taught us.
There is no appeal against sister's decision,
And brother-in-law has never broken his word.
We don't have the freedom to get out of hand,
And even if you get angry with us, it never lasts.
Sister, sister, you are not just a sister to us,
Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you are not just a brother-in-law!
We never got to see who our father and mother were,
Yet we never felt that yearning at all!
Sister, sister, you are not just a sister to us,
Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you are not just a brother-in-law!
We are just like your very own children...
Sister, sister, you are not just a sister to us,
Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you are not just a brother-in-law!
If we are blessed with another life,
We want to be born as your own children.
O golden hearts, overflowing with pure love,
We want to shoulder all your burdens.
We have no words to express our gratitude,
No word can speak louder than our tears.
Sister has no children of her own to this day,
Was it only because of caring for us that you didn't have any?
Sister, sister, you are not just a sister to us,
Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you are not just a brother-in-law!
We never got to see who our father and mother were,
Yet we never felt that yearning at all!
Sister, sister, you are just like a mother,
Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you are just like a father,
We are just like your very own children...
