I have the ancestral inheritance left by my father,
I have wealth and comfort,
Who is there to come and
Ask me for an account?
நெனச்சா ஒங்களுக்கு

If you drink, I have kept
The hangover cure right along with it, haha!

Only about ten people on earth are true wise men, ha haa!
Wise men, ha haa!
The rest of the people are
Busy bees like me!
சேவல் வந்து கூவும் வரை
சிந்துகள படிப்போம்
காலை வரையிலே கனவுல மிதப்போம்
இன்பம் ஏறாலம்
என்னுடைய நெஞ்சும் தாராளம்
உள்ளதைதான் சொல்லிபுட்டு
டோய் டோய் டோய் டோடோய்
Until the rooster comes and crows,
We shall sing melodic tunes!
Until morning comes, we will float in dreams!
Happiness is abundant,
And my heart is equally generous!
I have spoken nothing but the truth, doi doi doi dodoi!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Enna Venum Thinnungada Doi from the 1985 movie Uyarntha Ullam is an energetic, carefree celebration song led by a jovial protagonist who invites everyone around him to eat, drink, and make merry without restraint. Proud of his inherited wealth and independent lifestyle, he openly declares that he owes no explanation to anyone about how he chooses to live or spend his fortune.
