Aapu birthday to you, Babu...
Aapu birthday to you, buddy...
Why were you born? Why did you grow up?
You are always pure torture to us, dude!
The moment you see a girl, you dump us!
Even so, you are still our true friend, dude!
Long live, my friend, loverboy Krishna!
Long live, my friend, in love... da-ran-ta da da!
Why were you born? Why did you grow up?
You are always pure torture to us, dude!
The moment you see a girl, you dump us!
Even so, you are still our true friend, dude!
Hey... hey... come here, my friend!
Whatever date you were born on,
Come on, dude, that day is definitely Krishna Jayanthi (birthday of loverboy Krishna)!
No way, buddy! Whichever girl I charm and win over,
My heart always beats only for our friendship!
Born just to enjoy life, knowing all the secrets,
A true Manmathan (god of love)...
With lucky moles all over your body, go rock the show!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, buddy!
Happy birthday, our dear buddy!
Happy birthday, dude!
Even though our moms and dads are different,
Buddy, our blood is completely one and the same!
Even if you and I get into silly fake fights,
Buddy, we will always stand united together... oh... oh...
You are a rascal and I am crazy,
Why did we come together? Exactly for this!
With lucky moles all over your body, go rock the show!
Aapu (trouble) birthday to me...
Aapu (trouble) birthday to me...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Aappu Birthday To You from Rendavathu Padam is a fun, lighthearted birthday anthem centered around youthful male friendship. The song playfully mocks the birthday boy, teasing him about his habit of ditching friends for women and sarcastically referring to his birthday as a trap (aappu) or torture. The lyrics mix playful insults with affectionate praise, comparing his charm to Lord Krishna and Manmathan (Cupid). Despite the constant ribbing, the underlying message celebrates brotherhood. It emphasizes that even if the friends come from different families and frequently engage in petty fights, their bond remains unbreakable and their blood is one.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Pun / Satirical Wordplay

“Aappu birthday to you”

Replaces the conventional 'Happy Birthday' with 'Aappu Birthday', where 'Aappu' in Tamil colloquial slang refers to a trap, hindrance, or sabotage.

Allusion (Mythological)

“Podaa adhu krisna jeyanthi thaandaa”

Compares the flirtatious friend's birthday to 'Krishna Jayanthi' (Lord Krishna's birthday), metaphorically calling him a playboy like Krishna.

Contrast / Antimetabole

“Porukki nee kirukku naan”

Juxtaposes 'Porukki' (scoundrel/rogue) and 'Kirukku' (crazy) to highlight the complementary, chaotic nature of their friendship.

Monai (Initial Rhyme / Assonance)

“Yaen porantha yaen valrantha”

Repetition of starting vowel sounds 'Yaen' across words in the same line for rhythmic flow.
