To the charm of Manmadha (the god of love),
To the charm of Manmadha,
Did this doe fall for him?
To her golden wit, to her golden wit,
Did the tiger surrender?
The groom's eyes, the groom's eyes,
Play around in shy mischief,
Her golden eyes, her golden eyes,
Size something up.
No experience at all...
But that doesn't matter.
No courage at all...
Well, it is all done now, girl!
As she yields a little,
As her lips part a little,
Will the secret spill out?
Whose fault is it anyway?
Shall we ask the town?
The mistake we made, one more time,
Shall we try making it again?
Oh... oh...
Is it the fault of the intoxicating drink?
Is it the fault of the bewildered girl?
Oh darling, oh darling, is it the fault
Of the mischievous evening?
Is it the fault of the cold wave that made the body shiver?
Is it the fault of the clothes seeking freedom?
Oh darling, oh darling, is it the fault
Of the discipline we lacked?
Half the blame is on him,
And the rest of the blame is on him too.
Yet you cannot really blame him,
Just because she smiled a little.
Whose fault is it anyway?
Shall we ask the town?
The mistake we made, one more time,
Shall we try making it again?
It flutters softly,
The heart, all on its own.
My mind feels fragrant because of you.
Never before, never like this,
Has she ever felt this way.
There is a tingling,
On the lips—why is that?
There is a restless warmth in the fingers—why is that?
Never before, never like this,
Has she ever felt this way.
Who was the first to ask for it?
Who was the first to say yes?
Asking for it was no crime at all,
Now that everything is already done!
To the charm of Manmadha (the god of love),
To the charm of Manmadha,
Did this doe fall for him?
To her golden wit, to her golden wit,
Did the tiger surrender?
No experience at all...
But that doesn't matter.
No courage at all...
Well, it is all done now, girl!
As she yields a little,
As her lips part a little,
Will the secret spill out?
Whose fault is it anyway?
Shall we ask the town?
The mistake we made, one more time,
Shall we try making it again?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song playfully explores the aftermath of an unexpected intimacy or romantic mistake between two young individuals. Using cheeky and lighthearted lyrics, the track debates who holds the responsibility for falling into temptation—whether to blame the intoxicating ambiance, the chilly weather, or the irresistible charm of each other. Ultimately, both parties playfully dismiss guilt, concluding that since the 'mistake' has already happened, they might as well embrace it and repeat it.
