Onna serndhu thoalnchu poga
Manikanakka mokka poda
Anbu has got a friend
Oh anbu has got a friend
Onna serndhu thoalnchu poga
Manikanakka mokka poda
Anbu has got a friend
Oh anbu has got a friend
Mala mela oththa maram

Anbu has got a friend
Oh anbu has got a friend
Only if you get marks
Do you pass an exam,
Only when you get a friend
Does life become truly awesome!
Everything you read in books
Is so very old,
When you roam with a friend,
Life here turns to gold!
Only if you get marks
Do you pass an exam,
Only when you get a friend
Does life become truly awesome!
Everything you read in books
Is so very old,
When you roam with a friend,
Life here turns to gold!
To get lost together,
To talk nonsense for hours,
Anbu has got a friend,
Oh, Anbu has got a friend!
To get lost together,
To talk nonsense for hours,
Anbu has got a friend,
Oh, Anbu has got a friend!
That lone tree atop the hill,
That is our god right there!
The rain falls the moment we ask,
Look, the earth is getting drenched!
That lone tree atop the hill,
That is our god right there!
The rain falls the moment we ask,
Look, the earth is getting drenched!
To get lost together,
To talk nonsense for hours,
Anbu has got a friend,
Oh, Anbu has got a friend!

Examula paas-uh / Life-eh ingu mass-uh / Romba romba old-uh / Life -eh inga goldu

Monai (Initial Alliteration)

Mala mela oththa maram

Repetition of the 'Ma' sound ('Mala', 'mela', 'maram') at the beginning of words creates melodic phonetic harmony.
