Annanukku annanmaarae
Thanni mannanukku mannanmaarae
Manap pandhalilae maelam kotti
Poo mudichchi thaali katti
Chinna thambi patta paadu
Adhai sonnaalae vekka kaedu
Malligai poo kaiyil vaangi suththaadheenga
Mulla pola kuththudhunnu kaththaadheenga
Ada daei Malligai poo kaiyil vaangi suththaadheenga
Mulla pola kuththudhunnu kaththaadheenga
Indha chinna thambi patta paadu
Adha sonnaalae vekka kaedu
Annanukku annanmaarae
Thanni mannanukku mannanmaarae
Chorus :Annanukku annanmaarae
Thanni mannanukku mannanmaarae
Kannaalam kattikkittu annae annae
Oru punnaakkum laabam illae sonnaen sonnaen
Annaadam aasa vechu annae annae
Onnum aagaama poththikkittu ninnaen ninnaen
Pongi vecha sorirundhum thingaliyaa
Poththi vacha aasa pasi theeraliyaa
Solli solli soga kadhai maalaliyae
Mutru pulli vechidath thaan aal illaiyae
Enna seiya maala soodi
Ada innamum naan brammachaari
Dhukkam thondai adaikka
Adhil mandai kodhikka
Indha chinna thambi patta paadu
Adha sonnaalae vekka kaedu
Annanukku annanmaarae
Thanni mannanukku mannanmaarae
Chorus :Annanukku annanmaarae
Thanni mannanukku mannanmaarae
Samsaaram vaachchu puttaa joru joru
Adhai Sonnadha kaetkkaavittaa boru boru
Pakkatthil kaekkum kaekkum kattil saththam
Enga veettukkul naanga mattum romba suththam
Pillai onnu petthu kolla aasa pattaen
Kondavala konjik konji thola thottaen
Thaana nanna thaana nanna
Thannaa nannaa
Thaana nanna thaana nanna
Thaanaa nannaa
Koodizhandha kunju polae
Sogam koodudhaiyaa nenju maelae
Idhil solluradhenna vaaya melluradhenna
Namma chinna thambi patta paadu
Adha sonnaalae vekka kaedu
Annanukku annanmaarae
Thanni mannanukku mannanmaarae
Manap pandhalilae maelam kotti
Poo mudichchi thaali katti
Chinna thambi patta paadu

Mulla pola kuththudhunnu kaththaadheenga

Adha sonnaalae vekka kaedu
Annanukku annanmaarae
Thanni mannanukku mannanmaarae
Annanukku annanmaarae
Thanni mannanukku mannanmaarae
O brothers among brothers!
O kings of the drinking crowd!
With drums beating in the wedding tent,
Adorning flowers and tying the thaali (sacred wedding thread),
The ordeal this younger brother suffered—
It is a total shame even to talk about it!
Don't buy strings of jasmine to wrap around your wrist,
And then scream that they prick like thorns!
Hey guys, don't buy strings of jasmine to wrap around your wrist,
And then scream that they prick like thorns!
The ordeal this younger brother suffered—
It is a total shame even to talk about it!
O brothers among brothers!
O kings of the drinking crowd!
Chorus: O brothers among brothers!
O kings of the drinking crowd!
After getting married, brother, oh brother,
There was not a bit of gain, I tell you, I tell you!
Yearning with desire every day, brother, oh brother,
Nothing happened, and I just kept quiet and endured it!
"Even with cooked rice served, didn't you eat?
Didn't the hunger of your pent-up desire get satisfied?"
Even after telling it again and again, this sad tale never ends,
And there is nobody around to put a full stop to it!
What is the use of wearing the wedding garland?
Hey, I am still living like a bachelor!
With sorrow choking my throat,
And my head boiling with frustration,
The ordeal this younger brother suffered—
It is a total shame even to talk about it!
O brothers among brothers!
O kings of the drinking crowd!
Chorus: O brothers among brothers!
O kings of the drinking crowd!
If you get a good wife, life is pure joy!
But if she doesn't listen to you, it is endless war!
From next door, the sound of the creaking cot is heard,
But inside our home, we stay completely untouched!
I longed to have a child of my own,
So I pampered my wife and caressed her shoulder...
Thaana nanna thaana nanna
Thanna nanna
Thaana nanna thaana nanna
Thaana nanna
Like a chick that lost its nest,
Sorrow just keeps piling up in my chest!
What is there to explain, why hesitate to speak?
The ordeal our younger brother suffered—
It is a total shame even to talk about it!
O brothers among brothers!
O kings of the drinking crowd!
With drums beating in the wedding tent,
Adorning flowers and tying the thaali (sacred wedding thread),
The ordeal this younger brother suffered—
It is a total shame even to talk about it!
Don't buy strings of jasmine to wrap around your wrist,
And then scream that they prick like thorns!
Hey guys, don't buy strings of jasmine to wrap around your wrist,
And then scream that they prick like thorns!
The ordeal this younger brother suffered—
It is a total shame even to talk about it!
O brothers among brothers!
O kings of the drinking crowd!
O brothers among brothers!
O kings of the drinking crowd!
