Ah, all sorts of strange things
are happening in this town...
Male: Aha!
Male: To listen to these stories,
there is nobody around here...
Male: Oho!
Male: That story of Kamakshi,
just listen to it, please listen!
Hey, strike the beat!
Play the rhythm, come on!
Dhin thaa.. dhin dhin dhin thaa
Dhin thikita dhin
Dhin thaa.. dhin dhin dhin thaa
Dhin thikita dhin
A single-stone nose stud
and a double-strand necklace,
he bought them from the pawn shop
just for me!
Hey, a five-rupee bindi paste
and a ten-rupee powder tin,
he bought with love
just for me!
Dhin thaa.. dhin dhin dhin thaa
Dhin thikita dhin
Dhin thaa.. dhin dhin dhin thaa
Dhin thikita dhin (overlapping)
Hey, glass bangles
and anklets for my feet,
he put them on me perfectly,
just for me!
For just ten lakhs
in cash,
to a toothless old man,
he signed over the deed and sold me off,
that husband of mine!
If your man
is given to me for one night,
my thirst will be quenched!
Living together in the backyard,
my mood will surely change!
Will you give him?
My own man,
I will not give to anyone!
Shut your mouth and get lost!
There are so many
men in this town,
go search for one house by house!
And now,
what is the next story?
If a man marries a beautiful wife,
every single fellow
suspects his own wife, man!
Caught up in that is our Sevvanthi...
Come on, step up and tell it!
Ah, if he hears the jingle of anklets,
he suspects the way I walk!
If he hears the sound of bangles,
he asks whom I am trying to trap!
Even if a mosquito bites me
and it swells up,
he asks, "When did which guy bite you here?"
Ah, even if a passerby just smiles,
he asks if I am having an affair with him...
Hey, give me
your man!
With the edge of my saree,
I will cast a spell and return him!
Ah, from right here,
pack your bags and walk away!
I am the blooming girl made for him!
Of the wives who go abroad to work,
do you know what their husbands
are doing back home in town?
For the sake of money, to Dubai
he sent me away, sent me away!
He said he wanted a fridge and a TV,
so I kept sending money, sending money!
A sofa set and a cot,
he asked for them, and I bought and gave them!
He even asked for a house on ECR (East Coast Road),
and I bought and gave that too, gave that too!
Along with the man I loved,
I came back to settle down, settle down!
On the very cot
that I had bought, another woman was there!
Your beloved man,
do not ever give him to anyone, do not give!
Just like me,
do not end up standing as a fool!
My own man,
I will never give to anyone, never give!
Even the scent of another woman coming near him,
I will never, ever let happen!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song is a satirical street-theatre/folk narrative depicting various marital grievances and societal hypocrisy experienced by women in local communities. Through a series of humorous yet poignant vignettes presented in a folk style, different women share their tragic stories: one who was sold off by her husband to an old man for money, another who faces constant unwarranted suspicion from an overly possessive husband, and a third who worked endlessly in Dubai to fulfill her husband's material demands only to return home and find him unfaithful.
