பச்யிழை மாதிரி
எச்சிலை துன்பிடும்
பரவச நிலையை படைத்தவனே
வெறும் கல்லை கூட
வைரம் கல் ஆக்கி
மாயங்கள் செய்த மேஜிக் மேன்னே
Like green herbs
Eating spittle
Oh creator of the ecstatic state
Even a plain stone
Turning it into a diamond stone
Oh magic man who performs miracles
ராவணன் லீலைக்கு பத்து தலை
இனி மன்மத லீலையில் எட்டு தலை
எதிர்த்து நிற்ப்பது வெத்து வேலை
அவன் கால கழிவிட்டு சும்மா போலே
Ravana's antics required ten heads
Now in Cupid's playful games, there are eight heads
Standing against him is a futile job
Wash his feet and just move along
அப்பாய்ன்ட்மென்ட் வாங்கிட்டு
அப்பாவிய நிப்பவரே
அம்மான்னு பேரை சொல்லி
அம்பானிய மாத்துவாரு
தொன்னையில சுண்டல் வச்சி
தந்தாலும் அந்த காலம்
உற்ச்சாகம் பானம் தந்து
உருளதானே விடுவாரு
Taking an appointment
Standing innocently
Saying the name of Mother Goddess
He will turn you into an Ambani
Keeping boiled grams in leaf cups
That trick is ancient history
Giving energy drinks
He makes people roll on the ground
ஹேப்பி எல்லோரும் இங்கே ஹேப்பி
சாமிக்கு கார்பன் காபி
நின்னோமே கைய தூக்கி
ஜெய் ஜெய் ஜெய் பகவதி பாடி
Happy, everyone is happy here
A carbon copy of God
We stood raising our hands
Singing hail hail Bhagavathi
ஆனந்த கூத்து ஆடி
எல்லோவில் சாரி சூடி
மோச்சத்த ஒண்ணா தேடி
பாபாவே எங்க டாடி
Dancing in utter joy
Draped in a yellow saree
Seeking salvation alone
Baba is our daddy

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Bhagavathi Baba' is a satirical intro song from the 2020 movie 'Mookuthi Amman'. Written by Pa. Vijay, the song lampoons modern fake godmen and commercialized spirituality. It parodies how self-proclaimed gurus market religion as a commodity, promising instant salvation by weight, riding in luxury cars like Rolls Royce, and turning devotion into a lucrative corporate business. Through quirky English-Tamil code-switching and ironic lyrics, the song critiques the blind faith of followers who treat charlatans as supreme divine beings.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Satire & Parody
“Mookthiya moonu kilo vangikungo”
Uses absurd comparisons like selling '3 kilos of salvation' and calling Baba a 'Corporate Baba' to mock commercialized religion.
Rhyme (Iyaibu)
“Goli baba / Jolly baba / Julie baba”
Repetition of rhyming end-words 'Goli baba', 'Jolly baba', 'Julie baba', 'Holly baba' creates a rhythmic, catchy, and humorous effect.
Code-Mixing (Tanglish)
“Think-u pannama sink aagungo”
Blends English technical/corporate terms like 'Corporate', 'Comrade', 'Think-u', 'Sink' with Tamil words to highlight modernized fake gurus.

Trivia
The song serves as the character entrance theme for the antagonist Bhagavathi Baba (played by Ajay Ghosh) in RJ Balaji's satirical comedy film 'Mookuthi Amman' (2020). The music for the film was composed by Girishh G.
