Vaadi vaadi vaadi
Tamizhoda thirumagale
Enga ammavoda marumagale
Enna da thanniya potutu vandhu thagararu panriya ? (Dialogue)
Pinna sarbatha kudichita thagaraaru pannuvange (Dialogue)
Mariyathaya poiru illa police ah kupuduven..(Dialogue)
Ennama ippadi panreengalema
Ennama ippadi panreengalema
Ennama ippadi panreengalema
Ennama ippadi panreengalema
Kathiri poo dhaavani
Katti vandha mohini
Kithaapa ah kaaturaale
Enna sekaattam aaturaale
Alli poova sirichava
Asin pola nadichava
Appan pecha ketkuraale
Enna akku akka pekuraale
Potta pulla valappa kaati
Pona usira sundi
Atha yenni manasu nova
Aanen sarakku vandi
Ennama ippadi panreengalema
Ennama ippadi panreengalema
Ennama ippadi panreengalema
Ennama ippadi panreengalema
Valavi vaanga pogaiyile valanji valanji kuduthava
Kolusu vaanga pogaiyile kulungi kulungi kuthichava
Pudava vaanga pogayile ponathenna thalli
Naan purusanaaga pogaiyile poduraale kolli….eeeee
Mogathuku naalum pusinaale powder-u
Nerukathil azhaga rasikka pona murder
Hair pin benda ah pola enna avalum aakita
Bore well motoraiye nenja kodanju potuta
Ennama ippadi panreengalema
Ennama ippadi panreengalema
Ennama ippadi panreengalema
Ennama ippadi panreengalema
Color poonthi vaangi thara kalanga kalanga adichava
Kadala muttaai vaangi thara kavidhai kavidhai padichava
Nagatha pola kaadhalaiyum veesuraale vetti
Naa setharu thenga pola aaga ooduraale etti…eeeee
Pana petti pola kanni manasa pootitaa
Karichatti pola enna kazhuvi oothitaa
Pallikoodam pogum pothu paatha paarva marakala
Saata mela patta inka innum kooda thuvaikala
Ennama ippadi panreengalema
Ennama ippadi panreengalema
Ennama ippadi panreengalema
Ennama ippadi panreengalema
Come on, come on, come to me, girl!
O precious daughter of Tamil,
O future daughter-in-law to my mother!
(Dialogue) "What, man? Are you drunk and picking a fight?"
(Dialogue) "Well, do people pick a fight after drinking sweet juice?"
(Dialogue) "Leave quietly, or I will call the police!"
Why are you doing this to me, ma?
Why are you doing this to me, ma?
Why are you doing this to me, ma?
Why are you doing this to me, ma?
Dressed in a violet half-saree,
the enchanting beauty arrived,
showing off all her attitude!
She spins me around like a top!
The girl who once smiled like a water lily,
the girl who acted so charming like actress Asin,
now listens only to her father's words,
and tears me apart piece by piece!
Showing off her feminine charm,
she flicked away my lingering life,
and brooding over it with an aching heart,
I have turned into a truck full of alcohol!
Why are you doing this to me, ma?
Why are you doing this to me, ma?
Why are you doing this to me, ma?
Why are you doing this to me, ma?
When we went to buy bangles, she swayed her hands so gracefully,
when we went to buy anklets, she shook with joy and skipped along,
but when we went to buy a bridal saree, why did she back away,
and set fire to all my hopes just as I was about to become her husband?
Every day she dabbed scented powder on her face,
but going close to admire her beauty became deadly!
She twisted me up like a hairpin bend,
and drilled right through my heart like a borewell machine!
Why are you doing this to me, ma?
Why are you doing this to me, ma?
Why are you doing this to me, ma?
Why are you doing this to me, ma?
When I bought her sweet boondi treats, she devoured them with delight,
when I bought her peanut candies, she recited poem after poem,
but now she clips away our love and tosses it like a fingernail,
and runs far away, leaving me shattered like a smashed coconut!
The girl locked up her heart tight like a cash safe,
and washed me out and threw me away like a soot-stained pot!
I still haven't forgotten the glance she gave while walking to school,
and I still haven't washed off the ink she spilled on my shirt!
Why are you doing this to me, ma?
Why are you doing this to me, ma?
Why are you doing this to me, ma?
Why are you doing this to me, ma?
