I don't care about my brother... ah...

I don't care about my father either... aa... aa...

Are you free now?

Male: Why?

Female: Shall we play a song?

Ready the dance floor!

Come to the dance floor!

Take it back to the 90s!

I don't care about my brother,

I don't care about my father either!

I don't care about this town,

I don't care about anyone at all!

I am a rose blooming just for you,

Lift me up effortlessly, my king!

A stunning flower ruling the whole town,

To me, you are my romantic hero Baasha!

Without anyone knowing, like Manickam living in Bombay,

Shall we live our life together?

Male: Hey hey!

Female: Come on, dear!

Male: Hey hey!

Come on!

Brother... Father...

I don't worry!

To tie the thaali (sacred wedding thread)...

I am ready, girl!

You are a tender young country hen,

And I am pure sesame oil!

Female: Cook me up however you like,

And I'll turn out absolutely irresistible!

Thinking that you had left me,

I was standing heartbroken, my girl!

Wanting only you as my love,

I came running straight into your arms!

We have become a remix now,

Yes, we've become a remix now!

Together, we'll hit only sixes from now on!

I don't care about my brother,

Damn it, I don't care about my father either!

Hoy hoy hoy hoy!

1 2 3 4...

[Whistling]

Picking a great wedding date,

Setting up a grand canopy woven with silk,

Male: Serving a feast to all the visiting guests,

Right on shining silver leaves!

Come on, dear, let's exchange wedding garlands,

If anyone questions us, we'll deal with them later!

When will the wedding pipes and drums play?

Our happiness is starting right now!

Put on a song by Raaja,

Put on maestro Ilaiyaraaja's song,

My handsome man, tie the thaali on me!

I don't care about your brother,

Damn it, I don't care about your father either!

I don't care about this town,

I don't care about anyone at all!

Smash it up!

Here comes my lover!

When you look at me, won't your heart go wild?

Drop the beat, play it loud!

Play a 90s song!

Hey, I've come to rock the floor!

When you look at me, won't your heart go wild?

Drop the beat, play it loud!

Play a 90s song!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic duet from Mannar Vagaiyara is a high-spirited, upbeat love song celebrating carefree love, nostalgia, and marriage desires. The protagonist and her lover express complete disregard for societal rules or familial opposition (father, brother, or townspeople), choosing instead to embrace their relationship with joy. Referencing 90s pop culture, Ilaiyaraaja's classic hits, and Rajinikanth's iconic 'Baasha' character in Bombay, the song blends folk-pop rhythms with playful, casual colloquialisms as the lovers declare their readiness to tie the knot and celebrate together.
