Hahaha...
Back in Kashmir,
I made the mistake of seeing her, man!
She flashed a look with those big round eyes,
and I lost my heart, man!
All the advice my dad ever gave me,
I went and forgot it completely, man!
When the wedding drums began to beat,
my dream was shattered, man!
Oh oh-oh!
Male: Is she a wife?
Oh oh-oh!
Male: Is she a brand-new wife?
Oh, my dear woman,
did you bite into me like a spicy chili?
Oh, my darling Kannamma,
have you caught yourself a sacrificial goat?
Let me speak the truth and die, girl!
Stop and hear me out, girl!
Hey, all wives are just like
double-edged knives, girl!
Who is that international
terrorist gang, girl?
Who are the real fierce ones? It's you women!
Let me speak the truth and die, girl!
Stop and hear me out, girl!
Hey, all wives are just like
double-edged knives, girl!
You are the most powerful
snakes on this earth, girl!
We completely surrender to you!
[Humming...]
Giving excuses for being late,
is your life getting ruined?
If you grab a drink with a buddy,
does your skin get ripped off?
Keeping an eye on your ex-girlfriends,
is there a brand-new radar?
Wherever you go, is there
a global tracker on you?
If you just stand there looking at her,
does a shower of kisses fall?
Saying, 'He's not just a husband, he's a god,'
does she post that as her status?
If you say just a single word,
does she glare at you with fury?
Do her tears turn into a snake
and strike you?
Oh! Oh-oh!
Male: My heart has been slain!
Oh! Oh-oh!
Male: My mind has been blown!
Oh! Oh-oh!
Male: I became like soft clay in her hands!
Oh! Oh-oh!
Male: I have completely lost myself!
At the sight of a woman,
even ghosts will soften and back down—
who ever said that?
Wife, oh wife!
Wife, oh wife, show your wild power,
and chase away all the ghosts!
Oh, my dear woman,
did you bite into me like a spicy chili?
Oh, my darling Kannamma,
have you caught yourself a sacrificial goat?
Let me speak the truth and die, girl!
Stop and hear me out, girl!
Hey, all wives are just like
double-edged knives, girl!
Who is that international
terrorist gang, girl?
Who are the real fierce ones? It's you women!
Let me speak the truth and die, girl!
Stop and hear me out, girl!
Hey, all wives are just like
double-edged knives, girl!
You are the most powerful
snakes on this earth, girl!
We completely surrender to you!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic and humorous track from the 2023 film 'Kushi' portrays the comical struggles of a newly married man coming to terms with the reality of married life. Having fallen in love in Kashmir while ignoring his father's advice, he playfully laments how his wife's intense possessiveness and authority dominate his life, lightheartedly likening her to a bomb and a sharp knife. Through witty Tanglish lyrics written by Madhan Karky, the song captures universal marital banter with exaggerated metaphors of tracking, interrogation, and complete surrender, wrapping a fun narrative around modern romantic dynamics.
