Thiru’s Maikamaa Lyrics Translation

The lyrics use modern comparisons to show a feeling of prior invisibility. The speaker calls himself an unliked post and an unlit bulb before this affection. He then directly addresses the shift, noting a friend from yesterday is his beloved today.

Maikamaa ManthramaaIs it a dizzying spell or some kind of magic?
Theluthundhaa TheladhaaIs it clear, or isn’t it?
Unnadhaa Leni DhaaIs it real, or isn’t it?
Sky Laanti Love IdhaaIs this a love as vast as the sky?
Laiku Thagalani Postunu NenuI’m a post that never gets a like.
Velugu Eragani Bulbunu NenuI’m a lightbulb that has never shone.
Neeku Padinadhi Adhi NijameIt’s true that I have fallen for you.
Raamasilakaa KanugonaveOh, my pretty parrot, please see it.
Maikamaa ManthramaaIs it a dizzying spell or some kind of magic?
Theluthundhaa TheladhaaIs it clear, or isn’t it?
Unnadhaa Leni DhaaIs it real, or isn’t it?
Sky Laanti Love IdhaaIs this a love as vast as the sky?
Nuvve Naa LifelineuYou’re my lifeline.
Ekkado Innaallu Vethika NenuI’ve been searching for you all this time.
Ento Paivaadi PlaanuWhat is fate’s design?
Kaituki Thokalle Vanikaa NenuI trembled like the tail of a kite.
Haarte MissayinadheMy heart has gone missing.
Nuv Gaani HackeraAre you some kind of hacker?
Chusthe MathipoyeneJust looking at you, I’m losing my mind.
Daddy Drug DealeraaIs your dad a drug dealer?
Nachhaave Bujji PittaI’ve started to like you, my little bird.
Veddhamaa Chettaa PattaaShall we walk hand in hand?
Snehame PremagaaWhen friendship turns into love…
Maaripoye Phantasy…it’s a transforming fantasy.
Ninna Naa FrenduleYesterday, you were my friend.
Neti Nunchi PreyasiFrom today, you’re my beloved.

Maikamaa Music Video

The track builds through a repeating chorus of questions about reality versus illusion. This structure roots the song in a state of confusion and discovery. The central idea is the disorienting transition from friendship to a romantic connection.
