அண்ணா சால
நமக்கு இனி வண்ணச் சோல
அங்கேதான்டி நடக்கும் பல காதல் லீல
சைட் அடிச்சு பசங்கள வெறுப்பேத்து
ரைட்டு விட்டு பைட்டுக்கு உசுப்பேத்து
Anna Salai
Is now a colorful garden for us
Over there happens many playful acts of love...
Check out boys and irritate them
Give a 'right' signal and incite a fight
ஓ ரூபிணி வா ரோஹிணி
நாள்தோறும் நடக்கட்டும் மேட்னி
மாதவா காலேஜு லீவுதான்
ஹேய் வாங்கடா எல்லாமே நாங்கதான்.....
Oh beautiful girl, come Rohini
Let the matinee show happen every day
Madhava college is on leave
Hey come on guys, we own everything
ஹோய்......அண்ணா சால
நமக்கு இனி வண்ணச் சோல
அங்கேதான்டி நடக்கும் பல காதல் லீல...
Hoi... Anna Salai
Is now a colorful garden for us
Over there happens many playful acts of love...
ஹார்ட்டு பீட்டுல பொண்ணு ஞாபகம்
குழு :
படிப்பு ஏறவில்ல
ஆட்டுக்குட்டிப் போல் தாடி வளக்குறான்
குழு :
எவனும் மாறவில்ல
Girl's memory is in the heart beat
Chorus: Studies aren't getting in the head
Female: He grows a beard like a goat
Chorus: No one has changed
ஹேய் பிக்ச்சர் போகாதடி
லவ் லெட்டர் போடாதடி
இளம் சிக்ஸ்டீன் கனாவில்
கொஸ்டீன் ஏராளம் டெஸ்ட்டில் மாட்டாதடி
Hey don't go to the movie
Don't write a love letter
In sweet sixteen dreams
So many questions won't come in the test
பெண்
: வாழ்க்கை எக்ஸாமிலே
மெயின் பேப்பர் கற்பாகுமே
அதை எட்டிப் பார்க்க விட்டால்தான்
நம் நம்பர் அவுட்டாகுமே
In the exam of life
Chastity/dignity is the main paper
Only if we let others peek into it
Our number will be out
இளமை காலம் யாவும் சோலையாகும்
ஆடிப்பாடு சிங்கார சிலுக்கு.....
குழு :
மாதவி காலேஜு லீவுதான்
வாங்கடி எல்லாமே நாங்கதான்
All youth times will become a garden
Dance and sing, stylish beauty
Chorus: Madhavi college is on leave
Come on girls, we own everything
அண்ணா சால
நமக்கு இனி வண்ணச் சோல
அங்கேதான்டி நடக்கும் பல காதல் லீல.....

காதல் என்பது மேட்னி ஷோ
அந்த க்யூவில் நெரிசல் இல்ல
மேரேஜ் என்பது ஈவ்னிங் ஷோ
அதில் டிக்கெட் கிடைப்பதில்ல
Love is like a matinee show
There is no rush in that queue
Marriage is like an evening show
Tickets aren't available for that
புக்கிங் பண்ணாமலே எவரும்
செக்கிங் செய்யாமலே
இதய ரெக்கை விரித்து
சிக்ஸர் அடிக்கும் டக்கர் டீனேஜுடி
Without booking, by anyone
Without checking
Spreading wings of the heart
Super teenage years hitting a sixer
ஹே லெக்சர் பொன்னானது
நம் ஸ்டக்சர் கண்ணானது
ஒரு இன்ட்ரெஸ்ட் இல்லாத
பிக்ஸட் டெபாஸிட் பிக்ஸட்டு மேரேஜுடி
Hey, lecture became golden
Our stature became cherished
Without any interest
Fixed deposit fixed marriage
நீ கேரேஜ இழுக்கும் இன்ஜினப் போல
லக்கேஜு சுமந்து திண்டாட வேணாம்
குழு :
மாதவா காலேஜு லீவுதான்
வாங்கடா எல்லாமே நாங்கதான்..
Like an engine pulling a train carriage
Don't struggle carrying heavy luggage
Chorus: Madhava college is on leave
Come on guys, we own everything

Oh beautiful girl, come Rohini
Let the matinee show happen every day
மாதவா காலேஜு லீவுதான்
ஹோய்
குழு :
வாங்கடா எல்லாமே நாங்கதான்....
நீங்க...
குழு :
