Pushed me down and reeled me in!
Exhausted and tired, my tongue hangs out!

மெரட்டி அடிக்கிறா
When she goes to a restaurant...
The leftovers she leaves behind...
I have no choice but to eat them!

ஆஞ்சு ஓஞ்சு நாக்கு தள்ளுதே
Husband...

Inside my purse...
There isn't even ten rupees!
Yet at the exact bad timing...
She fights with me to go shopping!
ஹோட்டல் போனா

வழி இல்லாமல் வாயில் போனதே
Ever since the sacred thread was tied...
It has totally ruined my life!
There isn't even a bit of happiness,
Marriage has brought so much trouble!

He compares the sounds of wedding drums (Getti Melam) to funeral drums (Saavu Melam), highlighting how his once triumphant bachelor life—where he won trophies—has now devolved into washing dishes, eating leftovers, and kneeling down under his wife's strict command.
