Annapoorni,
Oh, who are you?
With pure flavor,
Stealing away a hundred hearts,
You are a queen.
Look around you,
It is all rich flavor now.
With the life you have dreamed of,
Go ahead and live your life now.
A little,
Spread your wings and speak your mind boldly,
Soar into the sky and splash your colors.
Friendship will walk beside you at all times.
In her hand,
A cabbage, while her story blooms like a rose,
From the orthodox, narrow world like an appam pot,
She steps forward to leap out and run.
All six tastes must make every mouth water,
And her fingers are the reason for everyone.
Even in the blink of an eye, she seeks pure vegetarian roots,
We must eat and live for something far more than just filling a small belly.

Overall song meaning

“Oru rani nee / Suthi paaru nee / Suvai thaanini”

The repetitive end-rhymes ('nee', 'ini', 'vaazhu nee') create a catchy rhythm and encouraging lyrical cadence.
