Yaei ali ali yaei ali ali ali ali diwali
Life -ah anupavikka thavariyavan komaali
Yaei ali ali ali ali diwali

Vaazhkkai oru poonthottam vanthuvidu thaenaattam
Thevaiyillai poraattam saernthuputtaa kondaattam

Vanthaa Chandhira mandalam kaatturaenkkaa hoi….hoi….hoi….

Kuppatthula thanniyilae meengalai paaru
Meenu thaniya vittu tharaikku vanthaa kaanja karuvaadu
Hae ranjitham unakkuthaandi
Ponjaathiyaa latchanamaa purushana paaru
Purushan pottu vachcha route-ta vittu ponaa bejaaru
Adi nammoda policy-yae jolly thaan
Nee podaatha kadanai solli velithaan
Naamirukkum naattukkuththaan kadanirukku theriyumaa

Hey, ali ali, hey ali ali ali ali, it is Diwali!
He who fails to enjoy life is a fool!
Hey, ali ali ali ali, it is Diwali!
He who fails to enjoy life is a fool!
Life is a flower garden, come like flowing honey!
No need for struggles, if we join together it's a celebration!
Come on, sister! Sister, come on!
Come on, Chandralekha!
If you come, I will show you the lunar sphere, sister! Hoi... hoi... hoi...
Hey, ali ali ali ali, it is Diwali!
He who fails to enjoy life is a fool!
...................
Look at the fish in the water in the slum area!
If a fish leaves the water and comes to land, it becomes dry salted fish!
Hey Ranjitham, this is for you!
As a dutiful wife, look after your husband properly!
If you stray from the path laid out by your husband, it becomes a big trouble!
Hey, our policy itself is just to be jolly!
Don't blabber outside about the debts you didn't take!
Do you know that even the country we live in is in debt?
If our house is like the nation, can anyone find fault?
Come on, sister! Sister, come on!
Oh sister, come on, Chandralekha!
If you come, I will show you the lunar sphere, sister! Hoi hoi hoi!
Hey, ali ali ali ali, it is Diwali!
He who fails to enjoy life is a fool!
Every month on the first date, we receive money.
We are the type who live with a completely cleansed heart!
Both men and women do their duties at the office.
But they keep the earned salary locked up!
Hey, the story of our house is different!
Here, every day is biryani rice!
Every day inside the house, one must drink a quarter bottle!
Even the UN assembly should say that men are lions!
Come on, sister! Sister, come on!
Come on, Chandralekha!
If you come, I will show you the lunar sphere, sister! Hoi hoi hoi!
Hey, ali ali ali ali, it is Diwali!
He who fails to enjoy life is a fool!
Hey, ali ali ali ali, it is Diwali!
He who fails to enjoy life is a fool!
Life is a flower garden, come like flowing honey!
No need for struggles, if we join together it's a celebration!
Come on, sister! Sister, come on!
Come on, Chandralekha!
If you come, I will show you the lunar sphere, sister! Hoi hoi hoi!
Hey, ali ali ali ali, it is Diwali!
He who fails to enjoy life is a fool!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic song from the film 'Viralukketha Veekkam' (1999) is a lighthearted, festive track celebrating living in the moment and enjoying life despite financial constraints. The characters humorously justify their extravagant spending and carefree attitude by drawing funny parallels, such as comparing house debts to national economic debts and asserting that life should be treated like a continuous festival.
