Annaa saala
Namakku ini vanna cholai
Angaethaandi nadakkum pala kadhal leela….
Sight adichchu pasangala verupeththu
Right-tu vuttu fight-tukku usupeththu

Madhavaa collage leave-thaan
Haei vaangadaa ellaamae naangathaan

...................
Anna Salai...
For us, it is now a colorful garden.
Many playful games of love happen right there...
Check out the guys and annoy them,
Give them the go-ahead and instigate a fight!
Oh Roopini, come Rohini,
Let a matinee show happen every single day!
Madhava College is on leave today!
Hey come on, guys, we rule everything!
Hoi... Anna Salai...
For us, it is now a colorful garden.
Many playful games of love happen right there...
In every heartbeat, there is the thought of a girl.
Chorus: Education isn't sinking into the mind,
Female: He grows a beard like a goat!
Chorus: Nobody has changed at all.
Hey girl, don't go to the movies,
Don't send any love letters!
In the dreams of youthful sixteen,
Questions are endless, but don't get trapped in the test!
In the exam of life,
Chastity is the main answer paper.
Only if you let someone copy or peek into it,
Our number will be out!
All of youth becomes a blossoming garden,
Dance and sing, stylish silk beauty!
Chorus: Madhavi College is on leave!
Come on girls, we rule everything!
Anna Salai...
For us, it is now a colorful garden.
Many playful games of love happen right there...
...................
Love is like a matinee show,
There is no rush in that queue.
Marriage is like an evening show,
You don't easily get tickets for it!
Without making any prior booking,
Without any ticket checking,
Spreading the wings of the heart,
A smashing teenage age that hits a sixer, girl!
Hey, lectures are golden,
Our stature is precious like our eyes.
An uninteresting,
Fixed deposit is like a fixed marriage, girl!
Like an engine pulling a train carriage,
Don't struggle carrying heavy luggage!
Chorus: Madhava College, college is on leave!
Come on guys, we rule everything!
Hey... Anna Salai...
For us, it is now a colorful garden.
Many playful games of love happen right there...
Check out the guys and annoy them,
Give them the go-ahead and instigate a fight!
Oh Roopini, come Rohini,
Let a matinee show happen every single day!
Madhava College is on leave today!
Female: Hoi!
Chorus: Come on guys, we rule everything!
Female: You all?
Chorus: Madhavi College is on leave!
Female: Hoi!
Chorus: Come on girls, we rule everything!
Anna Salai……
