Undu pogalaam vantha pinnar
Vennai thirandu thaazhi nirainthathu
Vaadaa gopaalaa
Unnai ninainthu urugi vazhinthathu
Inthaa coca cola
The butter has churned and filled the pot,
Come on, Gopala!
Thinking of you, it melted and overflowed,
Here, have some Coca-Cola!
...
Do you want whisky and soda, my dear?
The real kick isn't in that—it's right here!
You are forty and I am twenty,
When we come together, the total makes sixty!
The butter has churned and filled the pot,
Come on, Gopala!
Thinking of you, it melted and overflowed,
Here, have some Coca-Cola!
...
Counting one-two and picking up the beat on three-four,
Shall I sing sweet music for you?
I am the major note here and you are the minor,
Shall all these differences blend into one?
Cha-cha-cha-cha, ah... you won't search anywhere else,
Has your heart become a captive here?
A pure-hearted lady who sings for you,
Seeing you, we make a joyful pair!
Ra-ba-ba-ra-pa-pa ba-ba-di-bu-di-bu ra-ba-ba-ra-pa-pa...
...
Starting as one and settling as two,
We can explore all three worlds!
Forgetting tomorrow, letting the fearful heart turn bold,
We can bathe in a flowing river of pleasure...
Mister Mama, my name is Prema!
Every single day there is this playful drama!
Oh my partner, a moonlight dinner—
We can feast on it once you arrive...
The butter has churned and filled the pot,
Come on, Gopala!
Thinking of you, it melted and overflowed,
Here, have some Coca-Cola!

Trivia

In this song from Kulakozhunthu (1981), lyricist Kannadasan humorously subverted traditional imagery by substituting the classic milk-and-butter offerings associated with Lord Krishna with modern carbonated drinks like Coca-Cola, brought to life by L. R. Eswari's signature energetic vocal style.
