...

For Kattadhurai,

the stars aren't looking good here, man!

Shaba ripa ripa

The time has come

to thrash and chase them away, man!

Shaba ripa ripa

Crossing past this line from now on,

can anyone dare to enter?

Past that gate and out the door,

the time to leave has truly come!

Watch them tremble trying to stand before us,

drop the beat: thathingina thakida thom!

For Kattadhurai,

the stars aren't looking good here, man!

Shaba ripa ripa

The time has come

to thrash and chase them away, man!

Shaba ripa ripa

Waiting for the dead of night,

a ghostly wind will blow, they say!

Let everything blaze bright!

Even a body built like Arnold,

it will strike and attack, they say!

This is the perfect season!

Throwing dust right into your open eyes,

the ghost will scare you out of your wits!

Use that opportunity smartly, buddy,

and stir things up like a pro!

Making everyone run away without a word!

Shaba ripa shaba ripa...

Hey, for Kattadhurai,

the stars aren't looking good here, man!

Shaba ripa ripa... aah...

The time has come

to thrash and chase them away, man!

Shaba ripa ripa... aah...

Hey... inside my territory,

whoever dares to act tough,

we'll teach him a lesson, man!

Watching from up above,

He will handle everything,

so let's leave it to Him, man!

The fate of those who stepped in here

is a trap they brought upon themselves!

Chant the shield of prayers,

and if no one comes to save you, strike like thunder!

Sing dingu dingu digaana!

Dangu dangu dagaana!

Shaba ripa shaba ripa...

Hey, for Kattadhurai,

the stars aren't looking good here, man!

Shaba ripa ripa... aah...

The time has come

to thrash and chase them away, man!

Shaba ripa ripa... aah...

Crossing past this line from now on,

can anyone dare to enter?

Past that gate and out the door,

the time to leave has truly come!

Watch them tremble trying to stand before us,

drop the beat: thathingina thakida thom!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song is a high-energy, comedic track from the Tamil horror-comedy film 'Sangili Bungili Kadhava Thorae' (2017). The lyrics center around the protagonist Kattadurai and the chaotic, spooky situations in a haunted house. It humorously declares that Kattadurai's astrological chart ('kattam') is unfavorable, warning intruders and ghosts alike that a clash is imminent. Through exaggerated cultural references, rhythmic chants, and playful threats, the song captures the frantic effort to scare away unwanted guests and evil spirits while maintaining a lighthearted tone.

Poetic devices

Pun / Wordplay (Sledai)

“Kattaduraikku inga / Kattam sariyilla da”

“Arnold-a koodathan / Attack-ku pannumam”

An extreme exaggeration claiming that even bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger would be attacked by the ghost.

Onomatopoeia (Esaikkurippu)

“Podu dingu dingu digaana / Dangu dangu dagaana”

Use of rhythmic percussive sounds to heighten comic tension and musical drive.
