Oh my dear, thinking only of you,
I am withering away!
Drinking neat liquor,
I am swaying without knowing why!
Hey my dear, thinking only of you,
I am withering away!
Drinking neat liquor,
I am swaying without knowing why!
Oh my goodness, oh dear!
Like the gusty wind of Aadi month,
You stirred my heart
And turned it upside down!
Seeing my phone number on the screen,
When you switched off your phone,
I finally understood your true nature,
Even better than before!

I used to be such a happy-go-lucky guy,
Look at me now, I've become a laughingstock!
It is all because of that wretched girl's
Mischievous games, man!
The smile on my face is gone,
And now I am totally annoyed!
That deceitful pretender of a girl
Is causing me endless trouble, man!
Nobody truly belongs to anyone here,
That is simply not how life works!
If you go and sit there getting attached on your own,
That is where the real trouble begins!
If things keep going on like this,
What will become of us, buddy?
Come on, pour another glass,
Drink it down and the whole game will be set right!

My dear, about you...
My dear, about you...
My dear, about you...
I also cast a net,
Imagining all kinds of dreams!
Now, in the very net I spread,
I have ended up trapped myself, man!
I fell completely for her smile,
And stayed trusting her sweet words!
She left me surrounded by a total void,
Why did she do this to me, brother?
We are running out of words
To curse you!
Did you run away to Kailasa
To be with Nithyananda?
Your own respect and dignity,
You threw it away yourself, girl!
Right into a burning, painful wound,
You thrust a sharp dagger!

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song is a light-hearted, comedic 'soup song' (heartbreak song) where the protagonist laments about being betrayed and ignored by his lover. Drowning his sorrows in alcohol without dilution ('raw-ah thanni'), he reflects on how his cheerful life turned into a joke because he fell for her charming smile and words. He feels humiliated that she switches off her phone upon seeing his call, realizing her true selfish nature. Towards the end, he humorously references pop-culture tropes, comparing her sudden disappearance to joining Nithyananda in Kailasa, and concludes that drinking another glass is the only solution to fix his situation.
