Donu Donu Lyrics English Translation – Maari | Dhanush
Donu Donu Donu, Fena Unnoda Gold Meenu,
I’m your don don don; I am your goldfish.
Scene-u Scene-u Scene-u, Nee Thotathellam Scene-u,
Scene, scene, scene. Whatever you touch is a scene.
Manu Manu Manu, Nan Unnoda Caffine-u,
Manu, manu, manu. I am your caffeine.
Gone-u Gone-u Gone-u, Nee Pathale Nan Gone-u,
Gone, gone, gone. When you look at me I am gone.
Gundana Kanala Kuthama Kuthatha,
Don’t punch me with your round eyes.
Nee Unna Thandhalum Pathathadi,
Even if you give one, it is not enough.
Roja Poo Dhegathal Raja Nan Sanjuten,
A king like me has gone flat seeing your rose-like body.
Un Munne En Gethu Nikkadhadi,
My attitude will not work in front of you.
Uruguthe Unthan anmai Parthu,
My attitude will not work in front of you.
Mayanguthe Indha Pavai Thaan,
I am losing my senses.
Thavikuthe Yellai Thandi Parkka,
I am restless to cross the line and see.
Thadukuthe Pen Nanam Than,
The shyness in me is restricting me.
Uruguthe! Mayanguthe!
I melt away… I fade away…
Thavikuthe! Thadukuthe Pen Nanam Than,
I yearn… The shyness in me is restricting me.
I am a loyal husband giving you royal treatment.

Hey Va Ma Twinkle-u Come And Mingle-u,
Come my twinkle, come and mingle
Namma Katula Nan Than Kingu,
In our jungle, I am the king.
Modern Manmadha asa Koodudha,
Modern good looking man, do you want more.
Kanna Kattudha Give Me Ring-u,
Are your eyes mesmerized, give me a ring.
Nan Sokkuren Di Vikkuren Di, Othaiyila Nikkurendi,
I’m choking, stammering; Shivering, here in solitude.
Nan Thithikava Pathikava,
I am standing at the edge,
Oththaikkotha ada Ready,
Should I strike or burn, I am ready to dance with you.
Uruguthe! Mayanguthe!
Melting. Losing my senses.
Hey Thavikuthe! Thadukuthe Pen Nanam Than,
Restless; -Restricting -The shyness in me is restricting me.
Uruguthe Unthan anmai Parthu,
Looking at your manliness, I am melting.
