Aditi Bhavaraju | Ramu Rathod • From “Band Melam”
Band Melam’s Thippukuntannav Telugu Lyrics English Translation
Chandrabose writes about a green skirt, a bright red half saree, and a basket of coconuts carried to the temple. The poet notes anklets jingling and studs glinting as the lover circles like a moth around a lamp. He translates the line ‘You make me spin, round and round’ to show endless chase.
Ballem Chuttu Eega LekkaLike a fly buzzing around a spear,
Mancham Chuttu Doma Lekkalike a mosquito circling a cot,
Gudi Chuttu Bhaktuni Lekkalike a devotee walking around a temple,
Baaru Chuttu Thaagubothu Lekkaand like a drunkard hanging around a bar…
Thippukuntaannav ThippukuntaannavYou’re making me spin, you’re making me roam.
Nanne Nee Chuttu Thippu ThippukuntaannavYou’re making me run circles around you.
Yahe Thippukuntaannav ThippukuntaannavYeah, you’re making me spin, you’re making me roam.
Nanne Nee Chuttu Thippu ThippeskuntanaavYou’re just making me spin all around you.
Pachani Langaa Chutti Yererranee Vonee YesiDraped in a green skirt and a bright red half-saree,
Chevulaku Kammalu Petti Are Kaallaku Pattilu Kattiwith studs in your ears and anklets on your feet,
Are Kobbarikaaya Butta Pattukoni Kovelake Nuv Pothuyou carry a basket of coconuts on your way to the temple.
Naa Thalakaayalaa Gatthara Lepi Gaabaraa Nanne ChesthuBut you’re messing with my head and making me panic.
Sooryuni Chuttu Bhoomi LekkaLike the Earth orbiting the Sun,
Paisala Chuttu Manushula Lekkaand like people chasing after money…
Thippu Are Thippu Abbaa Thippukuntaannav Thippu ThippukuntaannavSpin, oh spin! You’re making me spin, round and round.
Nanne Nee Chuttu Thippu ThippukuntaannavYou’re making me run circles around you.
Are Thippukuntaannav ThippukuntaannavHey, you’re making me spin, you’re making me roam.
Nanne Nee Venaka Thippu ThippeskuntanaavYou’re making me run right behind you.
Kalle Yegiresthuntaav Inthalo Palle Nooruthu UntaavYou raise your eyebrows at me, but then you grind your teeth.
Allari Chesthu Untaav Anthalo Challani Maatalu ChebuthaavYou act mischievous one moment, then speak sweet words the next.
Andari Kante Chinna Mullilaa Aligi Nuv KoosuntaavYou sit there sulking like a sharp little thorn,
Sande Dorikithe Pedda Manishilaa Petthaname Chesthuntaavbut if you get the chance, you boss me around like an elder.
Yenno Yenno Yeshaalesi Deepam Chuttu Purugunu ChesiYou put on so many acts, turning me into a moth circling a lamp.
Thippu Yem ThipputhunnaveSpin! Oh, how you make me spin!
Thippukuntaannav ThippukuntaannavYou’re making me spin, you’re making me roam.
Nanne Nee Chuttu Thippu ThippukuntaannavYou’re making me run circles around you.

Nanne Nee Chuttu Thippu Thippu ThippeskuntanaavYou’re making me spin endlessly around you.
Kodi Chuttu Gadda LekkaLike a hawk circling a chicken,
Chandruni Pattina Grahanam Lekkalike an eclipse shadowing the moon…
Oy Kodi Chuttu Gadda LekkaOy, like a hawk circling a chicken,
Chandruni Pattina Grahanam Lekkalike an eclipse shadowing the moon…
Pantallo Thegulu Lekkalike a pest infesting the crops…

Idisi Pettesey Idisi PetteseyLeave me alone, just leave me alone.
Naa Yenta Padaka Idisi Idisi PetteseyStop chasing me and just let me be.
