Kalyanam Panniyum Brahmachari’s Jolly Life Jolly Life Lyrics Translation
The verses directly question the value of discussing “dry philosophy” during one’s youth. The song then advises that life is meant for joyful living, not abstract debate. It comically predicts a husband will happily sing in chorus to whatever his wife says.

The song moves from a critique of intellectual detachment to a full-throated endorsement of married life. It presents this partnership as a constant, happy party instead of a restrictive bond. The meaning of the ‘Jolly Life Jolly Life’ lyrics is that shared domestic connection is the true adventure.
