O Brahma! Hey Brahma!
O Brahma! Hey Brahma!
Capable of charming the whole world,
A woman as stunning as Rambha—
Capable of charming the whole world,
A woman as stunning as Rambha—
If you do not marry her to me,
I can no longer live!
O Brahma! Hey Brahma!
Like a lid made just for its jar,
What a match you sought and found!
Even if a million words are said,
She will never talk back or cut in!
Even if a million words are said,
She will never talk back or cut in!
Aha ha... ah... ah...
You truly are the one true god,
You gave me just what my heart desired!
I am truly blessed, O virtuous one!
I will never ever forget you!
O Brahma! Hey Brahma!
Hey, look here!
Yes, I am talking to you!
I am your husband! Hey, she is not speaking!
She has not spoken a single word!
Did you create a mute woman? Ah... ah...
She has not spoken a single word!
Did you create a mute woman?
Bless her so she opens her mouth!
Are you playing a trick on your devotee?
O Brahma! Hey Brahma!
Knowing everything, I sealed her lips,
So do not ask me to loosen her tongue!
With sharp-tongued, nagging women,
No mortal man can ever live!
With sharp-tongued, nagging women,
No mortal man can ever live!
What do you care about my life?
Just open her mouth and go on your way, sir!
Well, this is your karma, suffer through it, Hanumantha!
Hanumantha! Hey Hanumantha!
Ooh ooho ooh... ooh... oohoo...
Male: My darling, O my darling, are your demands still so high?
My darling, O my darling, are your demands still so high?
High or low, just shut your mouth,
And bring everything I asked for!
Voile silk, perfume, and powder,
A Buick car for trips to the beach,
A gold watch, velvet slippers,
And a little puppy to cuddle and pamper!
Male: Oh my goodness... ah...
Yes, a gold watch, velvet slippers,
And a little puppy to cuddle and pamper!
Shut your mouth and everything I want,
You must buy and bring, or else we are through!
Such a raging chatterbox like Kali,
Why did you tie her to my neck, sir?
Such a raging chatterbox like Kali,
Why did you tie her to my neck, sir?
I cannot bear this awful shouting!
Please shut this wretch's mouth, sir!
O Brahma! Hey Brahma!
To tell me to shut my mouth,
No one in this world has the power!
To tell me to shut my mouth,
No one in this world has the power!
Let us see what great wonder
Brahma can work on this earth!
Yes, lady, you are quite right!
The one thing I can never do
Is to shut a woman's mouth... ah... ah...
The one thing I can never do
Is to shut a woman's mouth!
Why argue with you any further?
I must take my leave, my lady...
Is this all your brain could think of?
Could you write my fate like this?
Is this all your brain could think of?
Could you write my fate like this?
O Brahma! Hey Brahma!
O Brahma! Hey Brahma!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This humorous comedic track from 'Kalyanam Panni Paar' (1952) revolves around arguments with Lord Brahma regarding marital fates and gender dynamics. A husband initially praises Brahma for granting him a quiet, submissive wife who does not talk back, comparing her to a lid fitting a jar. However, the situation quickly turns comical when he realizes she might actually be mute and begs Brahma to give her a voice. Brahma warns him that a talking woman brings endless demands and misery to a husband, listing expensive modern luxuries like Buick cars, gold watches, and velvet slippers that demanding wives force their husbands to buy. The song ends on a satirical note, highlighting the eternal battle of wits between husbands, wives, and destiny.
