“Chikiri Chikiri” is a song by Mohit Chauhan from the album Peddi, composed by AR Rahman with lyrics by Balaji. It stars Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor. The verses begin by comparing a woman to a fallen piece of the moon, an event that makes the singer’s body dance uncontrollably.
He later questions if she hides intoxicating palm toddy at her waist. Another line notes his mustache twitches upon seeing her, causing him to shout out loud. These descriptions show a physical, almost comical response to her presence.
O Oh Oh La La LalaO Oh Oh La La Lala
La La La La LaLa La La La La
O Oh Oh La La LalaO Oh Oh La La Lala
La La La La LaLa La La La La
Aa Chandrullo Mukka Jarindhe DeenakkaA piece of the moon has fallen, I’ll be!
Naa Ollantha Adindhe ThaitakkaMy whole body is dancing to the beat
Deeni Andhalo Lekka Deeni Veshalo ThikkaHer beauty is beyond measure, her style is driving me mad
Naa Gundello Pothonde UkkaMy heart is just about suffocating
Ho Chikiri Chikiri ChikiriOh, I’m going crazy, crazy, crazy
The song documents an escalating state of fascination through its rhythmic chant. This repetition becomes the sound of a man losing his composure. The meaning of the ‘Chikiri Chikiri’ lyrics is found in this unfiltered declaration of being completely overwhelmed by attraction.
