Look, ghosts are rising up!
Our turf is heating up!
When the whole town is asleep,
Our hunt begins!
Look, the eerie wind is blowing,
It is all our mischief!
Look at the night unfolding,
For that is our kingdom!
Devi... Chandramukhi...
The queen to that Kanchana,
You are a freaky Dracula!
Now 'The Conjuring' is nothing, the scares are too small!
Hey, this is the palace gates!
I'll pay you cash for your courage, will you come?
Arundhati is waiting right inside,
Sangili Bungili, open the door!
There is something in the dark room,
I am scared, darling Muni!
Light up a Petromax lamp and look,
You will see the siren ghost Mohini!
We will throw a Halloween party,
There is no one to question us!
We will follow right behind you,
Even without any feet!
Number thirteen is our...
...door number!
Ghosts like Dora and Maya,
Have been members here for ages!
Like a dark shadowy spirit,
She will stay right beside you!
Is Bhaagamathie ready?
She will sneak up behind and grab you!
Look, ghosts are rising up!
Our turf is heating up!
When the whole town is asleep,
Our hunt begins!
Look, the eerie wind is blowing,
It is all our mischief!
Look at the night unfolding,
For that is our kingdom!
Devi... Chandramukhi...
The queen to that Kanchana,
You are a freaky Dracula!
Now 'The Conjuring' is nothing, the scares are too small!
Look, ghosts are rising up!
Our turf is heating up!
Our turf, our mischief!
Our turf, our mischief!
Our... our... our, our, our turf!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Aavi Parakkuthu Paaru' (often referred to as the 'Ghost Party' track) from 'Annabelle Sethupathi' is an upbeat, humorous horror-comedy track that celebrates the nocturnal, playful lives of ghosts living in an ancient palace estate. Instead of portraying spirits as purely terrifying entities, the song turns them into quirky partygoers who take over the area once the living world goes to sleep.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Pun / Double Entendre

“Aavi parakkuthu paaru”

'Aavi' translates to both 'steam' (suggesting a hot, happening atmosphere) and 'ghost/spirit', perfectly setting up a song about spirits partying in a heated neighborhood.

Iyaipu (End Rhyme)

“Soodachu enga petta / Start aagum enga vetta / Ellamae enga saetta / Adhu thaanae enga kotta”

The lines end with rhyming words ('petta', 'vetta', 'saetta', 'kotta'), establishing a rhythmic flow ideal for rap and fast-paced dance tracks.

Pop Culture Allusion

“Devi ..chandramukhi / Andha kanchanaakku raani ... Baagamathiya ready-ah”

The lyrics consist of rapid-fire references to major Indian horror and horror-comedy blockbusters (Devi, Chandramukhi, Kanchana, Arundhati, Muni, Bhaagamathie, Maya, Sangili Bungili, Dhilluku Dhuddu) as well as global icons like Dracula and The Conjuring.

Monai (Initial Alliteration)

“Enga petta enga saettai”

Repetition of the initial vowel sound 'E' ('Enga', 'enga') creates a musical beat.

Humorous Visual Imagery

“Konjam follow panni vanthuduvom / Aana kaal illa”

Paints a comical visual of ghosts following someone around without having feet to walk on.

Trivia

The lyricist Ku. Karthik cleverly packed the song with references to over 10 famous Tamil and South Indian horror films released across two decades (such as 'Chandramukhi', 'Kanchana', 'Devi', 'Arundhati', 'Sangili Bungili Kadhava Thorae', 'Iruttu Araiyil Murattu Kuththu', 'Dhilluku Dhuddu', and 'Bhaagamathie'). The track features rap vocals by popular Sri Lankan-Malaysian rapper ADK (Aaryan Dinesh Kanagaratnam).
