If you see a beautiful girl,
Say thank you!
If she says you are her boyfriend,
Say thank you!
If you see a beautiful girl,
Say thank you!
If she says you are her boyfriend,
Say thank you!
If there is money to steal
In your father's pocket,
If you get a green signal to love
The girl living in the front house,
To the darkness of the theatre,
Thank you!
To the corner seat, say thank you!
Say thank you to the beach!
Say thank you to the sundal seller boy!
Thank you!
Male: Thank you!
Male & Female:
Thank you..aa..aa…aa…aa..
If you see a handsome boy,
Say thank you!
If he says you are his girlfriend,
Say thank you!
When heavy rain hits,
Do you get a holiday?
Do you get an alliance with the minister?
Do lovers get connected through cross-talk on the line?
Say thank you!
According to the exam,
Do you get cheat bits?
Did the bus stop at the bus stop?
Do you get sugar at the ration shop?
Say thank you!
A conductor who speaks with a smile,
A doctor who knows good service,
A collector who speaks in Tamil,
An inspector who eats at his own expense,
When you meet them
In your life,
Say thank you!
Thank you!
Female: Thank you …aa..aa…aa…aaa..
....................
Once you pay money,
Do you get a seat?
Do you get a route to a high post?
Do you get paid to hold a party flag?
Say thank you!
Is a by-election coming up
In the constituency?
Does a crowd gather to vote?
Does floodwater swell in the Kaveri river?
Say thank you!
As her sari pallu slips,
The precious gem who speaks before you,
If she gives a single smile,
Impressed, she will meet you every day;
What you must give to the cold weather is
Thank you, thank you!
Thank you!
Female: Thank you …aa..aa…aa…aaa..
If you see a beautiful girl,
Say thank you!
If she says you are her boyfriend,
Say thank you!
To the darkness of the theatre,
Thank you!
To the corner seat, say thank you!
Say thank you to the beach!
Say thank you to the sundal seller boy!
Thank you!
Male: Thank you!

Thank you..aa..aa…aa…aa..

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'Sukkriya' from 'Piriyadha Varam Vendum' (2001) is a lighthearted, playful track centered around the Hindi loanword 'Shukriya' (Thank You). Lyricist Vairamuthu captures the quirky joys of everyday youth culture, social oddities, and urban romantic tropes, urging listeners to express gratitude whenever good luck or small favors come their way. From getting an unexpected rainy school holiday and finding sugar at the ration shop to encountering rare public servants who do their duties ethically (like an inspector paying for his own meals or a collector speaking in Tamil), the song humorously lists everyday victories and romantic moments as reasons to say 'Sukkriya'.
