Nuvanthae naaku chaala ishtam
Nu kaathanttae naaku chaala kastham
Neethaanae enakku east-um west-um
Nee mattum kedacha
Romba romba athirshtam
Yei…nee ippudu choodandi

Nee kooda venundi
Unnai enga paathalum
Naan whistle-u adippen
Nee ulla yeritta
Bus flight-ah maarundi
Naan dhammu adikka maatten
Naan thanni adikka maatten
Naan pepsi kudikka maatten

I like you so very much!
If you refuse me, it will be so hard for me!
You are my east and my west!
If only I get to be with you,
I would be so very lucky!
Hey... look right now!
Look right here!
On the route I take,
you must come along too!
I am a local boy!
You are a girl from Nellore!
I am going to marry you!
Tell everyone to clear the way!
Hey... look right now!
Look right here!
On the route I take,
you must come along too!
Wherever I spot you,
I will blow a whistle!
The moment you step in,
the bus feels like a flight, girl!
I don't smoke cigarettes,
I don't drink alcohol,
I don't even drink Pepsi,
but I do have one bad habit!
Hey girl,
every day in my dreams... I admire you!
I swear on your mother!
I swear on your father!
I swear on your dad!
I swear on your grandfather!
I swear on your uncle!
I swear on your aunt!
I swear on your sister!
I swear on your brother!
I swear on your mother!
I swear on your father!
I swear on your grandmother!
I swear on your grandfather!
I swear on your uncle!
I swear on your aunt!
I swear on your elder sister!
And I swear on your brother-in-law too!
Why are you so full of joy?
Why are you talking like this?
Inside my heart,
you have put down a seat and settled in!
I don't know Telugu,
I don't know Kannada,
and I don't like Hindi, girl!
I don't know dirty jokes,
I don't know bad words,
but I know just one thing, girl...
I know you very well!
I swear on your mother!
I swear on your father!
I swear on your dad!
I swear on your grandfather!
I swear on your uncle!
I swear on your aunt!
I swear on your sister!
I swear on your brother!
I swear on your mother!
I swear on your father!
I swear on your grandmother!
I swear on your grandfather!
I swear on your uncle!
I swear on your aunt!
I swear on your elder sister!
And I swear on your brother-in-law too!
You and I have blended together!
What just happened? The bus has left!
Come, come, my boyfriend!
Full of delight and excitement!
No drug habits,
no porn habits,
I'm not a party addict,
not a psycho sadist,
nor an accused criminal!
Yet I commit just one fault:
I secretly admire you!
I swear on your mother!
I swear on your father!
I swear on your dad!
I swear on your grandfather!
I swear on your uncle!
I swear on your aunt!
I swear on your sister!
I swear on your brother!
I swear on your mother!
I swear on your father!
I swear on your grandmother!
I swear on your grandfather!
I swear on your cousin!
I swear on your elder brother!
I swear on your sister-in-law!
And I swear on your sister-in-law's mother too!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic and comedic dance track from the movie 'Junga' portrays a quirky love proposal blending Tamil and mock-Telugu phrases. The protagonist humorously confesses his feelings to his love interest, declaring that she is his entire world and claiming that getting her would make him the luckiest guy alive.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Code-Switching / Macaronic Style

Nuvanthae naaku chaala ishtam

Seamlessly blending Tamil, Telugu, and English words (e.g., 'Nuvanthae naaku chaala ishtam', 'east-um west-um') to create a playful rhythm.

Repetition (Anaphora)

Nee amma medhu oddu

Repeated use of the phrase 'Nee ... medhu oddu' and 'Un ... mela sathiyam' across consecutive lines to build comedic intensity and cadence.

Hyperbole

Bus flight-ah maarundi

Exaggerating that the presence of the girl turns an ordinary bus ride into a flight flight voyage.
