Whenever you see a girl,
why do you immediately, man,
fall into this love?
Don't do it! Don't do it!
You don't need love!
You don't need love!
Listen to what I say, man!
Listen to what I say, man!
Shut up your mouth!
Just shut it up!
Shut up your mouth!
Just shut it up!
Shut up your mouth!
Shut up your mouth!
You, yes you!
Just shut it up!
Just shut it up!
Shut up... shut up!
Shut up your mouth!
Shut up your mouth!
You, yes you!
Just shut it up!
Piss off!
Shut up your mouth!
Shut up your mouth!
You, yes you!
Just shut it up!
Just shut it up!
Shut up... shut up!
Shut up your mouth!
Shut up your mouth!
You, yes you!
Just shut it up!
Shut up your mouth!
Just shut it up!
Shut up your mouth!
Just shut it up!
Whenever you see a girl,
why do you immediately, man,
fall into this love?
Don't do it! Don't do it!
Those who set out to love
can never just ignore it and walk away.
For these angels in half-sarees,
the yearning in our hearts has never faded.
Tie the thaali (sacred marital thread) and take her home,
and we will carry her tenderly in our hearts.
Like the deity enshrined in a temple chariot,
we will treasure her inside and carry her around!
Qualities like fear, innocence, and modesty—
women are naturally molded with all of them.
Even if some anger still remains,
etch your affection like a tattoo and pamper her!
All of this is what love is about,
and that is how we will live our lives.
When it turns into endless chaos,
just keep your mouth shut for a while!
Listen, just listen to what I'm telling you!
Take a good look around you!
Why are you actively seeking trouble
and waiting around for misery, man?
Blinding your own eyes,
you'll only end up growing a heartbroken beard!
Love is a game of hide-and-seek,
a war that will trip you up and make you fall!
Piss off!
Shut up your mouth!
Shut up your mouth!
You, yes you!
Just shut it up!
Just shut it up!
Shut up... shut up!
Shut up your mouth!
Shut up your mouth!
You, yes you!
Just shut it up!...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Shut Up Your Mouth' from 'Balloon' is a playful, high-energy track featuring a humorous dialogue between male and female perspectives on love and relationships. One side warns against falling in love at first sight, pointing out how love brings unnecessary troubles, heartbreak, and despair (growing a beard, poking one's own eyes). The opposing voice defends romance, urging partners to love unconditionally, cherish each other like deities, and simply keep quiet ('shut up') when arguments or chaos arise.
