அண்ணே கொஞ்சம் பாருண்ணே
இவன் கிழிஞ்ச கதைய கேளுண்ணே
தெனம் தெனம் குடிச்சி குடிய
கெடுத்த கதைய கேளுண்ணே
Brother, look here for a moment
ஏய்
Hey...
விடிஞ்சதும் கட்டிங் கட்டிங்
கட தொறந்ததும் கெட்டிங் கெட்டிங்
பொண்டாட்டி திட்டிங் திட்டிங்
திருந்தல இந்த தறுதல
As soon as day breaks, taking a quarter shot
As soon as the shop opens, getting alcohol
The wife scolding and scolding
This good-for-nothing won't reform
இவன் குடிய நிறுத்த விரும்பல
ஆங் தெருவுல குடிச்சான்
மறவுல குடிச்சான்
பொண்டாட்டி தாலிய வித்துட்டு குடிச்சான்
He doesn't want to stop drinking
He drank on the street
He drank behind trees
He sold his wife's sacred mangalsutra to drink
வசனம் :
செரி லே பிறவு என்ன ஆச்சு
After being patient for a long time, one day
On that day, her anger erupted
Now our guy's condition is pitiful
Chasing him around with a broomstick
She beat him up in the middle of the night
Tearing him to shreds completely
She split him open like a king and threw him out
பொறுத்து பொறுத்து பாத்து
ஒருநாள் அன்னிக்கு வந்துச்சு கோவம்
இப்ப நம்பாளு நெலம பாவம்
வெளக்குமாத்துல வெரட்டி வெரட்டி
நடுச்சாமத்துல அடிச்சா
சும்மா கிழி கிழினு கிழிச்சு
ராசா வெளிய போலனு எறிஞ்சா
As long as you keep drinking
Do not get married
Just because you like someone, to tie the knot
Do not compel them
ஏய் ஏல ஏய் ஏல
மொத போதைய விட்டு வாலே
ஏய் போல நீ போல
அட மேரேஜ் இப்போ வேணான்ல
அனைவரும் : ஏய் ஏல ஏய் ஏல
மொத போதைய விட்டு வாலே
ஏய் போல நீ போல
அட மேரேஜ் இப்போ வேணான்ல
Don't think that the one getting beaten up
Is just a submissive wife
She will also get angry
Don't forget that
விசில் :
...............................
To drink liquor on debt
Don't give stupid excuses
Don't lose your self-respect
And degrade yourself
குடிக்கிற வரைக்கும் ஒரு கல்யாணத்த கட்டாத
பிடிச்சதும் தாலி கட்ட கம்பல் பண்ணாத
You also gave advice to me
Saying marriage isn't necessary for you, elder brother
அடி ஒத வாங்குறவ பொஞ்சாதினு எண்ணாத
அவளுக்கும் கோவம் வரும் மறந்து விடாத
That situation is different, this is different
If you don't get married
What are you going to do?
கடனுக்கு சரக்கடிக்க காரணத்த சொல்லாத
சொரணய எழந்துபுட்டு கேவல படாத
Don't say no, don't ask why
What is told is for your own good
If you remain single all your life
Mother will be worried

He never cared about caste or religion
That fanaticism isn't inside his head
All religions are acceptable
Mutual consent is our true religion
அது வேற இது வேற
நீ மேரேஜ் பண்ணாம என்ன பண்ண போற
As long as you keep drinking
Do not get married
Just because you like someone, to tie the knot
Do not compel them
பொண்ணுங்க இல்லாத வாழ்க்க போர்-உ

குடும்பம் குட்டினு இருந்து பாரு
உனக்கு புடிக்கும் உலக ஜோரு
Don't think that the one getting beaten up
Is just a submissive wife
She will also get angry
Don't forget that
வேண்டான்னு சொல்லாத ஏண்டா-னு கேக்காத

Don't lose your self-respect
And degrade yourself
ஏய் வெங்க பயலே நாற பயலே

பாசத்த நீ பங்கு வச்சா
பாசனமும் பாயாசம் தான்
வீட்டுக்குள்ள தோக்குறவன்
ஊரயெல்லாம் ஜெயிச்சிருவான்
சாதி மதம் பாத்தில்ல
இவன் மண்டக்குள்ள அந்த போதையில்ல
எம்மதமும் சம்மதம் தான்
சம்மதமே நம்மதம் தான்
ஒத்த புள்ளையா பெத்து எடுத்தா
அந்த புள்ளைக்கி அப்பா
மொத்த புள்ளையும் சேத்து அணச்சா
இந்த ரவி அப்பா
அனைவரும் :
தன்ன பத்தியே நெனக்கிறவன்
ஒத்தையில நின்னான்
உன்னையும் என்னையும் நெனக்கிறவன்
எங்க ரவி அண்ணா
குடிக்கிற வரைக்கும் ஒரு கல்யாணத்த கட்டாத
பிடிச்சதும் தாலி கட்ட கம்பல் பண்ணாத
அடி ஒத வாங்குறவ பொஞ்சாதினு எண்ணாத
அவளுக்கும் கோவம் வரும் மறந்து விடாத
கடனுக்கு சரக்கடிக்க காரணத்த சொல்லாத

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from the movie Yaanai is a high-energy folk-rap track delivering social commentary on alcoholism, domestic accountability, and social harmony. It humorously describes the plight of a chronic drunkard who loses his self-respect and family dignity, eventually getting ousted by his pushed-to-the-limit wife. The lyrics issue a stern warning that men addicted to alcohol shouldn't force women into marriage and destroy their lives. Interspersed with casual brotherly banter about marriage and societal expectations, the song transitions into themes of unity, equality, and overcoming communal prejudices. It stresses that genuine love can turn adversity into sweetness and emphasizes living above religious or caste divides.
