Decent Aana Aalu Lyrics Translation (from “Naai Sekar Returns”)
Vadivelu’s character labels dog-napping as social service, calling his brain the primary tool while dismissing his gang as fools. He demands fees for ‘rescuing’ Pomeranians through biscuit bribes and jute bags.
Aiyan Aiyan Aiyan AiyanMaster, master, master, master.
Na Decent Aana AaluI’m a decent guy.
En Gang La Nalu FooluMy gang’s got four fools.
Nai Sekar Mattum CooluOnly Dog Sekar is cool.
En Mooladhaan En TooluMy brain’s my only tool.
Doggu Yetha DealuThe dog is what starts the deal,
Deal Yethal MaaluThe deal is what brings the loot.
Maalu Aana ServiceuThe loot becomes the ‘service’,
Kadi Vanguvan RabiesAnd I’ll give you a rabies bite.
Na Decent Aana AaluI’m a decent guy.
