The liquor you desire and drink
Comes with a little intoxication
And because of that dizzy buzz
Senseless arguments are born
It ruins a good name
It makes you act like a monkey
Once the morning dawns
Your high will wear off as well
Doll-skin, doll-skin girl
Flaunting her fancy style
Even for that plain
Looking girl
Guys get easily trapped
Standing before the mirror
She touches up her beauty
To make us chase after her
She lays the foundation stone
The Cooum is also a river
But can you bathe in it?
Love is an intoxication too
But can it ever equal booze?
When I lie down drunk
All the wisdom of the Bodhi tree
Like tube lights blinking on
Glows bright, do you know?
Why, man...
Male: Why, man...
Doll-skin, doll-skin girl
Flaunting her fancy style
Even for that plain
Looking girl
Guys get easily trapped
Standing before the mirror
She touches up her beauty
To make us chase after her
She lays the foundation stone
Why, man... why, man...
Why, man... why, man...
Even if you buy sarees from Pothys
And nurture your love with tender care
Even if you buy phones like Samsung and Nokia
And gift them to her
Even if you hang out together
At theaters like INOX and Sathyam
Even if you say "I love you"
And roll around hugging tight
To all the girls here, love is just
A way to pass the time, man!
If you just ignore it and move on
Your life will pass with flying colors, man!
Why, man...
Male: Why, man...
Hey, if you speak ill
About love, I will tear you apart!
If you had ever seen an angel
You would understand, buddy
An empty heart that has
Never fallen in love
Is just a bin collecting garbage
Even a little kid knows that!
Why, man...
Male: Why, man...
Why, man...
Male: Why, man...
Don't you want fluttering butterflies
To take flight inside your heart?
Don't you want your two feet
To walk without even touching the ground?
You want a girl
Who looks like actress Anushka
But if you stay celibate like Hanuman
How will love ever spark?
The high of booze
Will eventually fade away
Can it ever compare to love?
You can achieve wonders through love
Go ahead and fall in love, buddy!
Why, man...
Male: Why, man...
A romance that starts at Cafe Coffee Day
Ends right at the TASMAC liquor shop!
Only when there is money, man
Does love open its eyes
Even if actress Anushka herself turns up
I don't want any of it
If I down half a bottle and sleep
Is she a sharp blade to fear?
In my dreams... won't she come on her own?
Why, man...
Oh why, man...
Blue sky, blue sky
Just like the vast blue sky
Love is God's gift, man
The very essence of life
Week after week
All seven days will fly past
On this earth
Only love will stand forever
Just like love, TASMAC (liquor shop)
Is always a huge hit!
In general, I, Daas, tell you this
Listen closely, boss
The legend who taught us both
Is our very own Devadas!
Compared to him
You guys are just amateur fools!
Why, man...
Oh why, man...
Why, man...
Oh why, man...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song is a lighthearted, conversational kuthu song featuring a debate between two friends regarding love versus alcohol. One side argues cynicism about modern romance, pointing out how relationships often start at trendy spots like Coffee Day and lead to heartbreak at TASMAC bars, claiming girls treat love as a temporary pastime. The opposing side defends romantic love as divine, eternal, and transformative, comparing the heart without love to a trash can.
