Oh Manapenne’s Lazy Tamil Lyrics English Translation
The song shows Karthik ignoring alarms while stuffing blankets into his ears. Vishal Chandrashekhar parallels engineering studies with fried snacks consumption. ‘Wakes up lazily and sips coffee’ defines the song’s unhurried rhythm.
Kana Mani VannaMy precious, colorful boy,
Kanna A Kanna KannaKanna, oh, Kanna, Kanna.
Kanmoodi Kidakane PaiyaThe boy’s just lying with his eyes closed,
Moodil Illadha PozhuthuWhen he isn’t in the mood.
Kathum Porumaiya VeesumHe’ll scream, his patience wearing thin,
Kannan Urangidum PozhuthuWhile Kannan is sound asleep.
Kathu KidappanHe’ll lie there waiting,
Porandu PaduppanHe’ll roll over in his sleep,
Porvai Nuni KoodaEven the tip of his blanket,
Kadhil NuzhaippanHe’ll stuff into his ear.
Urakkam MudindhalWhen his sleep is finally over,
Thavazhndhu NadappanHe’ll crawl around for a bit.
Ezhundhu SombaludanHe’ll wake up lazily,
Kapi KudippanAnd sip on his coffee.
Kanmoodi Kidakane PaiyaThe boy’s just lying with his eyes closed,
Moodil Illadha PozhuthuWhen he isn’t in the mood.
Kathum Porumaiya VeesumHe’ll scream, his patience wearing thin,
Kannan Urangidum PozhuthuWhile Kannan is sound asleep.
Thedhi KizhippanHe’ll tear a page from the calendar,
Thadi ValarppanHe’ll let his beard grow out.
Nimida Muzh PolaLike the minute hand on a clock,
Asandhu NadappanHe’ll drift along listlessly.
Arattai AdippanHe’ll chatter on and on,
Alandhu SirippanAnd laugh with careful measure.
Pozhudhai Mozham PottuHe’ll measure the day by the arm’s length,
Kotti KazhippanAnd pour it all to waste.
Namma Alu Peru KarthikOur guy’s name is Karthik,
He Doesn’t Hear The Clock TickHe doesn’t hear the clock tick.
Poriyiyal PadichittuHe finished his engineering degree,
Porichadha SaptukittuAnd now he just eats fried snacks.
Cricketla Sceneu PodumHe acts like a pro in cricket,
Namma CasanovaHe’s our Casanova.
Kan Muzhuchi SlowvaHis eyes open slowly,
Ulla Whiske Kood ColaA little whiskey with his Cola,
Karthik’s rejection of urgency validates idle pleasures through Vishal Chandrashekhar’s writing. Listeners seeking Lazy lyrics translations in English find comical resistance to productivity norms. The Oh Manapenne soundtrack frames inertia as self-determination.
