About anyone at all, he has
no worries.
Chorus: No worries at all.

doesn't care at all.

All this Chokkan needs
is a potful of food...
Chorus: A potful of food...
Male: All that he needs
is a bottle of liquor...
Chorus: A bottle of liquor.

Chorus: Doesn't care at all.
There is life left in me,
but no money to spend.
If a coin is placed on a corpse's forehead,
it is no crime to take it.
To the temple of Ganesha,
pots and pots of milk are offered, aren't they?
If someone drinks a pot of that milk,
God suffers no loss.
If you steal for luxury,
Chorus: that is a crime.
Male: But if you steal to fill your belly,
Chorus: what wrong is there?
Thanthana thanthaana thanthana thanthaana
Thanthaanaa ha haah
Chorus: Thanthana thanthaana thanthana

A honeybee gathers honey and stores it
inside the hive.
If anyone takes that honey,
no one calls it theft.
The money that men gave her,
she tucked away inside her blouse.
He just grabbed what she kept hidden,
there is nothing wrong in that!
Differences of caste and religion,
he has none of that.
Chorus: He has none of that.
Male: By the law, he doesn't even have a name.
Chorus: Doesn't even have a name.
Thanthana thanthaana thanthana thanthaana
