That sweet-talking parrot made me sing,
she made me celebrate with joy,
and she made me dance in the streets, man!
She lit camphor at the temple,
she tucked flowers into her hair bun,
and she put a magnet in her eyes, man!
She pushed her shyness aside,
she stirred up some sweet trouble,
and she spelled everything out clearly, man!
That girl did something magical,
and she made me jump around with excitement, man!
Like an incense stick,
she made me spread sweet fragrance.
All by myself,
she made me talk to myself.
Like the bright sun,
under the gaze of her eyes,
I shattered like an offering coconut, man!
When she took strung flowers
and tucked them into her hair,
I came undone like the string that tied them, man!
Like a 'Two Parrots' matchbox,
the pit of my chest caught fire.
I don't need anything else, man!
For all my life, with that girl,
believing she is all I ever need,
I'll live grandly and die happy, man!
That sweet-talking parrot made me sing,
she made me celebrate with joy,
and she made me dance in the streets, man!
She lit camphor at the temple,
she tucked flowers into her hair bun,
and she put a magnet in her eyes, man!
When that girl walks by,
she moves softly like a cat.
When she breaks into a smile,
it is like a shower of pearls.
When you look at her anklets,
they gleam bright like silver.
Tell me, who can compare to her?
Who shines so bright? Who glows so much?
She is like the flower of love on this earth!
Even when the peak summer heat
blazes right over our heads,
it feels delightfully cool
whenever that girl speaks!
What kind of high does liquor give?
If that girl just glances my way,
my whole path changes in an instant!
Thana thannananne,
Earlier, I was a carefree playboy,
but because of that girl,
now I have become a lovesick Devadas!
Thana thananana naane.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic folk track captures the euphoric infatuation of a young man hopelessly smitten by a girl's charm and playful nature. He describes how her glances, smiles, and mere presence completely upend his everyday life—making him talk to himself, feel instantly cooled in scorching heat, and feel a excitement far greater than any alcohol could provide.
