In a village...
In a village...
A farmer...
A farmer...
Lived there...
Raghu tha tha...
Raghu... Raghu lived there...
In a village, a farmer,
is the don Raghu!
All the skills he ever learned,
he has unleashed them all!
If I make a move to touch you,
you will totally love it!
If I ask for a sweet, sharp kiss,
you will blow me away!
Hey sweet girl, rose of the fiery flame,
hey yellow lips,
don't play hard to get!
Hey yellow lips,
don't play hard to get!
Raghu tha tha...
Raghu... ku... ku... tha tha
Raghu tha tha tha tha tha
Oh, what a pity!
Just to get embarrassed and look foolish,
did they give birth to you,
Mom and Dad, all in vain?
Just put a beep over it,
and fill in the blanks yourself!
If anyone asks for the meaning,
they will only get beaten and kicked, that's right!
Every single time,
you insult me in your songs!
Wherever I go,
why do you keep following me around, mister?
Without any makeup on,
if you walk down the street,
thinking a swarm of ghosts has arrived,
he wets his pants!
The little brother wets his pants in fear!
Kokorra koko ko ko ko ko
Kokorra koko ko ko ko ko
Raghu tha tha...
Raghu... ku... ku... tha tha
Raghu tha tha tha tha tha
Oh Jambu Lingam with matted hair!
Oh Jyothi Lingam, praise be to you!
Oh Vayu Lingam, hey come on!
Oh Pancha Lingam, in a frantic rush!
In a Google search,
if someone just enters your name,
as a "world-class fraud",
the meaning pops up on its own!
Hey daughter of Newton,
you made me swoon!
Let's take the wrong route
and do something right!
In a brand new way,
you are making your moves!
If I give you a little space,
you bump into me here and there!
Right on your cheek's dimple,
I have laid my handkerchief to reserve it!
If you are okay with it, give me just one!
Will you give me a kiss?
Will you give it for free?
Kokorra koko ko ko ko ko
Kokorra koko ko ko ko ko
Raghu tha tha...
Raghu... ku... ku... tha tha
Raghu tha tha tha tha tha

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song is a humorous, fast-paced playful banter track from the movie 'Sangili Bungili Kadhava Thorae'. It riffs on classic Hindi learning tropes from Tamil pop culture (referencing the infamous 'Ek gav mein ek kisaan raha tha tha' lesson from Bhagyaraj's film Indru Poi Naalai Vaa) to create a comedic duel between the lead characters. The song features quirky slang, rhyme play, modern references like Google searches and Newton, and energetic gibberish beats.

Trivia

The phrase 'Ek gaon mein ek kisaan raha tha tha' / 'Ragu Thatha' is a legendary comedic gag originally from K. Bhagyaraj's 1981 hit film 'Indru Poi Naalai Vaa', which became so deeply rooted in Tamil pop culture that it inspired this song and eventually even a 2024 film titled 'Raaghu Thatha'.
