Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This playful song from the film Devi 2 features the protagonist, Devi, playfully confronting her husband about his straying thoughts or affection. Using humorous food and object comparisons, she asks why he would crave lesser things like tin, an owl, flour, or a plain bun when he already possesses gold, a swan, turmeric, and sweet pongal in the form of his wife. She proclaims herself ready to fulfill any role as his wife and questions his need for an outside mistress, calling him her 'Krishna' while reasserting her own beauty and worth.
