Thank you bhagavaanae
Anna saalayil
Chennai anna saalayil
Oru ettu vanna vaanavillai paarthen
Etti pidikka
Vinnai mutti parandhen
Adhu mazhai pattu karainthida verthen
Vaa vaa vaanavil thaedi
Naa naan alaigindra neram
Haiyyo thaedi chendra
Vaanavillae neril vandhathae

Oru ettu vanna vaanavillai paarthen

Thank you, God!
On Anna Salai...
On Chennai's Anna Salai,
I saw an eight-colored rainbow!
To reach out and catch it,
I flew touching the sky,
and I broke into a sweat, fearing the rain would wash it away!
Come, looking for that rainbow,
as I was wandering around,
oh my, the very rainbow
I went searching for appeared before my eyes!
On Anna Salai...
On Chennai's Anna Salai,

and I broke into a sweat, fearing the rain would wash it away!
Oorurururu… (3)
Mastering technology
for a thousand years,
God created
this stunning beauty!
What my eyes saw was only a fraction,
just three percent!
If I gaze upon the other ninety-seven,
that percentage would take my life away!
Every girl has one thing that is beautiful,
but in the girl I saw, everything is beautiful!
For the moon in the sky, only its face glows with light,
but for the girl I saw, even her shadow radiates light!
The street where she lives has no night at all!
Chorus: None at all!
Male: If she just looks at me, death won't touch me!
On Anna Salai...
On Chennai's Anna Salai,
I saw an eight-colored rainbow!
Aaha… aah…
To reach out and catch it,
I flew touching the sky,
and I broke into a sweat, fearing the rain would wash it away!
Lala la la lala
Lal lala la la lala
Lal lala la la laala laala lalaa
Laalala la la.. aah.. aah...
Laalala la la.. aah.. aah...
Lala la la lala
Lal lala la la lala
Lal lala la la laala laala lalaa
Plucking two stars
from outer space,
and wiping them gently
with a champak flower,
oh my, oh my, oh my,
did He craft her eyes?
With those rolling eyes of hers,
did she snatch my life away?
If she says yes, I will live inside her heart;
if she says no, I will lie inside her anklet!
One in the spinning sky, one in this girl's heart,
and one more in the curve of her foot!
There is no other woman like her on this earth!
Chorus: No one!
Male: And God has no intention of making another one!
On Anna Salai...
On Chennai's Anna Salai,
I saw an eight-colored rainbow!
Yay...
To reach out and catch it,
I flew touching the sky,
and I broke into a sweat, fearing the rain would wash it away!
Come, looking for that rainbow,
as I was wandering around,
oh my, the very rainbow
I went searching for appeared before my eyes!
