For as long as one can remember, item songs have been a staple of Indian film. The idea is almost always the same: A woman (or women) performs for a gathering of males, singing about topics that objectify them as we have already seen in well-known Munni Badnaam Hui, Sheila Ki Jawani and countless others. This song’s objectionable parts have remained the same, which is the major source of contention.

But many can argue that it is the lyrics of this song that plays a major role in its marketing goal. Many people believe that Oo Antava is unique because of its lyrics. But it seems that the majority of people appear to be infatuated with the song without fully comprehending its meaning that’s why several other content creators and singers are recreating different versions of it with almost different meanings.

Oo Antava Lyrics Translation

Koka Koka Koka Kadithe
Kora Kora Mantu Chusthaaru
Potti Potti Gown’ey Vesthe
Patti Patti Chusthaaru

They kill me with their looks if I wear a saree.
They scan me with their eyes if I wear a skirt.
Neither the Saree nor the gown, it is not in the dressing which matters.
It is all in your eyes. Men’s thinking is a twisted one.

Oo Antava Mava
Oo Oo Antava Maava Hey,
Oo Antava Mava
Oo Oo Antava Maava Hey.

Will You Agree With This? Men!
Are You Agree With This!
Will You Agree With This? Men!
Are You Agree With This!

Tella Tellaaguntey Okadu
Thallaakindhulowthaadu
Nalla Nallaaguntey Okadu
Allaarallari Chesthaadu

If we’re fair in complexion
One just goes upside down for us,
If we’re dark in complexion
We get teased around.

Meeku Rangutho Paniyemundhee
Sandhu Dhorikindhante Saalu
Mee Maga Buddhey Vankara Buddhee

Neither the fairness nor the darkness
Colour doesn’t matter to you,
Men If you get a chance
Men’s thinking is a distorted one.

Hey! Boddhu Boddhu Gunte Okadu
Muddhugunnaavantaadu
Sannaa Sannagunte Okadu
Saradaapadi Pothuntaadu

If we’re chubby enough, one comments telling we’re cute
If we’re lean, one feels crazy about us.
Neither the chubbiness nor the leanness

It is not about the physique
If asked to meet alone
Men’s thinking is a twisted one.

Pedda Peddaa Manishilaaga
Okadu Phojulu Kodathaadu
Manchi Manchi Manasundantu
Okadu Neethulu Sebuthaadu

One just shows off as if a great man
Some just speak about moral values like good men
Nether the goodness nor the badness

Manchi Kaadhu Seddaa Kaadhu
Anthaa Okate Jaathandi

All of you come under one
When the lights go off
When the lights go off
Everyone’s thinking is a twisted one.
