Guys like him,
We should beat him to a pulp, man!
No matter how much he begs,
We should punch him in the ribs, man!
Right in the middle of the street,
We should chop him down cleanly, man!
The police should take guys like him
And shoot them down, man!
He got caught real good!
He walked right into the trap and got caught!
He got caught real good!
He got trapped tight and proper!
He got cornered by a girl,
Ripped to pieces and completely ruined!
He blew his own chances away!
Hey, with a single stone,
He tried to hit two mangoes!
The stone missed its mark,
His aim went off, his route went wrong,
And he lost his way!
Once four beers go down his throat,
My man turns into that kind of guy!
What kind? A petty crook!
A whole different level, a cunning trickster!
The trickster downs hard liquor,
The trickster checks out girls on the side,
The trickster got caught red-handed!
Trickster, trickster, trickster!
Rogue, rogue, rogue!
He is an absolute fraud!
I tapped on the coconut shell,
Oh my darling Kamakshi!
Meenakshi smoothly charmed him!
Oh no, his life is ruined!
Singing sly tunes in the narrow alley,
Oh, why all this trouble?
Make it one,
Take it one,
Keep it simple,
One by two!
Didn't you ask for this trouble?
It never flops!
Wearing that wretched vest,
It makes him run and run!
Calling her "my deer, my sweetheart, it's you",
Giving round jasmines to woo her!
Isn't it just one or two?
Oh no...
Male: Once the booze kicks in, the master...
Female: Oh no...
Male: Got completely swept away by two girls!
Female: Oh no...
Male: He made up wild excuses and tried to dodge them,
Female: Oh no, oh dear...
Male: Knock this trickster on the head!
Guys like him,
We should beat him to a pulp, man!
No matter how much he begs,
We should punch him in the ribs, man!
Right in the middle of the street,
We should chop him down cleanly, man!
The police should take guys like him
And shoot them down, man!
A clown who wanted the fruit without the effort,
Turned out to be a senseless fool, man!
A shameless, troublesome lazy bum,
A crook, a cunning trickster!
Cheating people with a thousand stories,
Cooking up plans and playing little tricks,
Gaining trust only to stab them in the back,
A crook, a cunning trickster!
Dhoi dhoi dhoi dhoi dhoi dhoi ey...
Just like among the fish being washed,
The slippery fish that wriggles away,
Put your hands on your face in despair!
Dhoi dhoi dhoi dhoi dhoi dhoi ey...
Ah, like a lemon caught
Underneath a rolling tire,
Uncle's whole life has been crushed!
He got caught, he got caught!
He got caught, he got caught!
...
Even if he gets the slightest gap,
Changing his cap again and again,
Changing his colors over and over,
Giving everyone the runaround here and there,
He is our cunning trickster!
"Open the door, the breeze will blow in,"
A wise man once said.
But once that door was opened,
The wise man turned into a shameless scoundrel!
He turned into a total trickster, hey!
Trickster...
Female: He's a complete fraud!
Male: Trickster...
Female: He's a cheap rascal!
Male: Trickster...
Female: He's going to get beaten with a stick!
Male: Trickster, trickster, trickster!
Guys like him,
We should beat him to a pulp, man!
Female: Hey, you wretched fellow!
Female: No matter how much he begs,
We should punch him in the ribs, man!
Female: We should beat him with slippers and chase him away!
Hahahaha!
Right in the middle of the street,
We should chop him down cleanly, man!
Female: I'm going to turn him in to the police!
Female: The police should take guys like him
And shoot them down, man!
You good-for-nothing rascal!
Take a beating with a stick, hey!
Get thrashed with a stick, oh hey!

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song 'Capmaari' is a fast-paced, humorous, and satirical track centered around a cunning trickster or playboy character (referred to as 'Capmaari'). The lyrics express frustration and comedic rage at his double-dealing romantic antics—trying to juggle two women at once like trying to hit two mangoes with a single stone, only for his plans to backfire hilariously. The women and chorus call out his lies, cheap tricks, and shapeshifting nature, jokingly calling for him to be beaten up, chased away, or handed over to the police.
