“Daavudi,” an upbeat dance routine from the Telugu film “Devara: Part 1,” is a joyful and flirty celebration of attraction and desire. The title, translated from Tamil to English, means “Argument,” and the lyrics, written by Vignesh Shivan, explore topics like humorous banter, seduction, and a struggle of wills between two lovers. N. T. Rama Rao Jr. and Janhvi Kapoor appear in this energetic single, which features strong vocals by Nakash Aziz and Ramya Behara.
Vignesh Shivan’s Tamil lyrics describe a vibrant and passionate discussion between a man and a lady. The chorus line, “Naan Voothivaadhile Vaadhile,” translates to “I am arguing in an argument,” effectively capturing the song’s central theme of humorous banter and a battle of wits. “Daavudi” in Tamil is about playful flirting and pursuit between two people, according to the lyricist.
Devara: Part 1 Movie’s Daavudi Lyrics With English Meaning
Kozhambi Naa Unna Kozhambu Vaikka Poraen Naa
I am in a confusing state about you, I am going to make a ‘gravy’ out of you in my confusion.
Un Maeni Mela Naan Dhaan Masala
You are the main dish, and I am like the spice mix on top of you.
Karikaalaa Kadalaedhu Romba Un Villaala
Karikala’s strength doesn’t come from the sea; it all comes from your alluring eyebrows, like a bow. (Karikala – a Tamil king, possibly referring to his strength or power in this context.)
Unkooda Naan Iruppaen Un Aalaa
I will always be with you, as your beloved.
Kili-Kiliyae, Kili-Kiliyae, Kilae-Killaeyo
Kili-Kiliyae, Kili-Kiliyae, Kiliyo
Kili-Kiliyae, Kili-Kiliyae, Kilae-Killaeyo
Kili-Kiliyae, Killaeyo
(Kili-kiliyae, kili-kiliyae – These are rhythmic, playful sounds, like “parrot-parrot,” used as a musical hook.)
Daavudi Vaadheerae, Vaadheerae
Daavudi Vaadheerae, Vaadheerae Vaadhee
Daavudi Vaadheerae, Vaadheerae
Daavudi Vaadheerae, Vaadheerae Vaadhee
