Oo Anthiya Oo Oo Anthiya Lyrics Translation (from “Pushpa – The Rise (Part – 01)”)
Mangli sings about the superficial judgments women face, no matter their appearance. One line asks, ‘Will you say yes, mister? Or will you say no, mister?’ This sharp question highlights the song’s focus on breaking down stereotypes. The lyrics writer, Devi Sri Prasad, uses everyday scenarios to make a powerful statement.
Seere seere seere uttareIf I wrap myself in a saree, a saree, a saree,
Kann kann bitkond nodtheeraYou stare at me with your eyes wide open.
Putta putta gownu thottareIf I put on a tiny, little gown,
Hinde hinde beeltheeraYou start falling over each other to follow me.
Seere alla gownu allaIt isn’t the saree, and it isn’t the gown,
Utta battel yenaitheWhat’s really in the clothes I’ve worn?
Neev nododraage ella aitheIt’s all hidden in the way you look at me,
Nimma buddhi illa shuddhiBecause your mind’s got no purity at all.
Oo anthiya mamaWill you say yes, mister?
Oo oo anthiya mamaOr will you say no, mister?
Oo anthiya mamaWill you agree, man?
Oo oo anthiya mamaOr will you disagree, man?
Bella bella gidre obbaIf a woman’s got a fair, glowing complexion,
Thalli thalli hogthaaneOne man will shove through the crowd to get close.
Kappu kappaag idre obbaIf she’s got a dark, dusky skin tone,
Thappu thappag nodthaaneAnother man stares at her with impure intent.
Kappu alla bilupu allaIt isn’t about being dark, and it isn’t about being light,
Rangina hangu nimagillaYou don’t really care about the color anyway.
Hengidrunu sari antheeraYou’ll say she’s fine no matter how she looks,
Nimma buddhi illa shuddhiBecause your mind’s got no purity at all.
Oo anthiya mamaWill you say yes, mister?
Oo oo anthiya mamaOr will you say no, mister?
Oo anthiya mamaWill you agree, man?
Oo oo anthiya mamaOr will you disagree, man?
Udda udda idre obbaIf she’s tall and stands with stature,
Haari haari barthaaneA man comes leaping and jumping toward her.
Gidda gidda idre obbaIf she’s short and small in frame,
Jaari jaari beelthaaneAnother man slips and falls for her charm.
Udda alla gidda allaIt isn’t about the height, tall or short,
Nimma sathya helenuShall I tell the honest truth about you?
Sikkid della seerundeneYou just want to devour whatever comes your way,
Nimma buddhi illa shuddhiBecause your mind’s got no purity at all.
Oo anthiya mamaWill you say yes, mister?
Oo oo anthiya mamaOr will you say no, mister?
Oo anthiya mamaWill you agree, man?
Oo oo anthiya mamaOr will you disagree, man?
Dappa dappa idre obbaIf she’s got a curvy, full figure,
Mudd maadona anthaaneA man says he wants to cuddle and love.
Sanna sannakk idre obbaIf she’s slim and slender-waisted,
Sarasa aadonanthaneAnother man talks about romance and play.
Dappa alla sanna allaIt isn’t about being curvy or being thin,
Roopu shape-u bekillaYou don’t really need a specific look or shape,
Onti hennu kandre nimmaIf you see a woman standing all alone,
Gandina buddhi illa shuddhiYour male perspective has no purity at all.
Oo anthiya mamaWill you say yes, mister?
Oo oo anthiya mamaOr will you say no, mister?
Oo anthiya mamaWill you agree, man?
Oo oo anthiya mamaOr will you disagree, man?
Thumba dodda jnaaniyangeLike a very great and learned scholar,
Obba neethi helthaneOne man will preach about morality.
Olle olle maathu heliBy speaking such kind and virtuous words,
Obba pose-u kodathaneAnother man puts on a righteous act.
Nidde illa maathu illaForget the sleep and forget the talk,
Nimma marma gothappaI’ve figured out your little secret, friend.
Deepagalella aarida myaaleOnce all the lights have been dimmed and extinguished,
Deepagalella aarida myaaleOnce all the lights have gone out for the night,
Ellara buddhi onde buddhiEveryone’s mind works exactly the same way.
Oo anthiya mamaWill you say yes, mister?
Oo oo anthiya mamaOr will you say no, mister?
Oo anthive goriWe say yes, beautiful girl,
Oo oo anthiva goriOr we say no, beautiful girl.
Oo anthiya mamaWill you agree, man?
Oo oo anthiya mamaOr will you disagree, man?
Oo anthive goriWe’ll agree, beautiful,
Oo oo anthiva goriOr we’ll disagree, beautiful.
