............................
With your cute small headband
ஓங் குட்டி நெத்தி வெட்டி
ஓ நூலு ஒன்ன கட்டி
ஒரு காத்தாடி பண்ணட்டுமா....
Tying a thread together
Shall I make a kite?
Come, my princess
ஏ வாடி என் ராசாத்தி
ஓம் போலி கோபம் ஆத்தி
ஓங் கண் ரெண்ட தின்னட்டுமா
Cooling down your fake anger
Shall I devour both your eyes?
Magic market, bazaar
மாயா பசாரு பஜார்
மாமா கொஞ்சம் உசாரே
மந்திரம் தூவட்டுமா
Friend, be a little careful
Shall I sprinkle magic spells?
Magic market, bazaar
மாயா பசாரு பஜார்

Friend, be a little careful
Shall I sprinkle magic spells?
Hey
ஹே.......
அழகு ரோசா
எங்கிட்ட முள்ளால பேசாதடி
நான் மன்மத ராசா
மந்திரம் போட்டேன்னா
நீதான் ரதி
Beautiful rose
Don't speak to me with thorns
I am the king of love
If I cast a spell
You will become Rathi
Grinding the round full moon like batter
வட்ட வட்ட வெண்ணிலாவ
மாவரைச்சு மாவரைச்சு
தோச சுட்டு ஊட்டட்டுமா
கரண்ட் கட்டு ஆனா வானில்
ஓம் மூஞ்சிய மாட்டிவிட்டு
நெலவுன்னு காட்டட்டுமா....ஆ....
Grinding and grinding
Shall I make dosas and feed you?
During a power outage, in the sky
Replacing it with your breath
Shall I display it as the moon?
Jumping on your waist
உன் இடுப்பில் தாவி
ஒரு ஹிப் ஹாப்பு ஆடட்டுமா
உன் உதட்ட பூட்டி
செம்ம லிப் லாக்கு போடட்டுமா....
Shall I dance hip-hop?
Locking your lips
Shall I give a great lip lock?
A magician like me
என்ன போல வித்தைக்காரன்
யாரும் இல்ல கேட்டுபாரேன்
எங்கூரில் போய் கேளுடீ....
எங்க டீ உன் காதல்காரேன்
வந்தா நானும் பாத்துக்குறேன்
நீ இனிமே என் ஆளுடீ
There is no one else, go ask around
Go ask in my town, girl
Where is your lover, girl?
If he comes, I will deal with him
From now on, you are my girl
I am not intoxicated
போதை ஏறவில்லை
மயக்கம் கூட இல்லை
உம்மேல நான் ஏன் சாயுறேன்
நெஞ்சில் இந்த தொல்லை
ஹே நேத்து வர இல்லை
உன் கண்ணால நான் மாறுறேன்
I am not even dizzy
Why am I leaning on you?
This trouble in my heart
Hey, it wasn't there until yesterday
I am changing because of your eyes
Magic market, bazaar
மாயா பசாரு பஜார்
மாமா கொஞ்சம் உசாரே
மந்திரம்......தூவ போறேன்
Friend, be a little careful
I am going to sprinkle magic spells
Magic market, bazaar
மாயா பசாரு பஜார்
மாமா கொஞ்சம் உசாரே
மந்திரம்.....தூவ போறேன்....
Friend, be a little careful
I am going to sprinkle magic spells
மந்திரம் தூவட்டுமா.....
மந்திரம் தூவட்டுமா.....
மந்திரம் தூவட்டுமா.....
மந்திரம் தூவட்டுமா.....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from the movie Pakkiri showcases a charming, street-smart magician playfully wooing his romantic interest. Through whimsical, hyper-imaginative propositions—like grinding the full moon into batter to feed her dosas or making a kite out of her hair accessories—he expresses his deep affection using magical metaphors. The protagonist banteringly claims to be Cupid himself (Manmadha) while warning everyone around to beware of his enchanting love spells. Beneath the upbeat and energetic rhythm lies a sweet confession of how her captivating gaze has unexpectedly transformed his heart.
