{Teddy bear ah katti urangidum
Kutti malar iva paatha
Manasoru cutting adikuthu bha
Athu meera nenacha nenacha
I am very very sorry
Aala vetti kolambu vechiruva} (2)
{Kakkaavum peakock aagum

Konja neram kumari kumari
Kumari odamba paatha
Courier il fever anuppiduva
Aambalannu nenachu avala
Nerungi nerungi ponaa
Ambulancil yethi vitturuva

Hormone gal aada weak aagum
Kaka kaavum peakock aagum

Tuckeru tuckeru da toppu tuckeru da
Iva tuckunnu pugunthu usurumuzhukka
Ottura stickeru da
Cookeru cookeru da hot cookeru da
Manasu ivala marakka pannuthu

Soan papdithaan iva pesum pecha
Thenu bottle lae iva dhegam aacha
Lolli pappu thaan iva costume aacha
Kalakkura mayakkura

Game Over …
She sleeps hugging a teddy bear,
this little flower of a girl, if you look at her,
my heart gets an intoxicating kick, buddy!
If you ever think of crossing the line,
"I am very, very sorry!"
She will chop you up and cook you in a curry!
Even a crow turns into a peacock,
as hormones dance, your knees go weak!
If for even a little while,
you stare at this young girl's body,
she will courier a fever right to you!
Thinking you are a tough man,
if you keep stepping closer and closer to her,
she will send you off in an ambulance!
Even a crow turns into a peacock,
as hormones dance, your knees go weak!
Even a cr-crow turns into a peacock,
as hormones dance, your knees go weak!
She is awesome, bro, top-notch awesome!
She sneaks in instantly and all over your life,
she sticks like a sticker, bro!
She is a cooker, bro, a red-hot pressure cooker!
When I try to forget her, my mind
completely acts up and stalls, bro!
Her words are sweet like soan papdi,
her body is like a jar of honey,
her dress is as colorful as a lollipop!
She dazzles you, she charms you,
poetry is coming, poetry is coming!
Even a crow turns into a peacock,
as hormones dance, your knees go weak!
She sleeps hugging a teddy bear,
this little flower of a girl, if you look at her,
my heart gets an intoxicating kick, buddy!
If you ever think of crossing the line,
"I am very, very sorry!"
She will chop you up and cook you in a curry!
Even a crow turns into a peacock,
as hormones dance, your knees go weak!
Even a cr-crow turns into a peacock,
as hormones dance, your knees go weak!
Even a crow turns into a peacock,
as hormones dance, your knees go weak!
Game over...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic, fast-paced folk-pop track titled 'Teddy Bear' (often referred to as 'Teddy Bear Ah Katti') from the 2013 Tamil movie 'Naiyaandi' celebrates the irresistible charm and dangerous feistiness of the heroine. The song uses playful Tanglish metaphors, humorous exaggerations, and urban slang to portray how a seemingly innocent girl hugging a teddy bear can mesmerize men while simultaneously posing a threat of 'sending them in an ambulance' if they cross boundaries. Throughout the track, the lyrics humorously describe bodily reactions, hormonal rushes, and sensory sweetness—comparing her speech to Soan Papdi and her presence to a hot pressure cooker. It balances playful romantic attraction with comical warnings about her formidable personality.
