“Kurchi Madatha Petti” means “Folding the Chair,” but Guntur Kaaram’s Telugu dance number is about more than furniture. Sri Krishna and Sahiti Chaganti sing this fiery tango of envy and desire, their voices swirling like jealous flames.
Ramajogayya Sastry’s lyrics start this passionate fire. The female voice, a “Ragamanjari from Rajahmundry,” boasts of her family’s artistic lineage and sleep-stealing dance. Though swaggering, she resents her rival, the “stylish dream girl” in velvet and jasmine.
Loving and possessive, the man showers his beloved with fire metaphors and bullet-laden compliments. He loves her curves and ability to “seduce the entire male race.” Even his adoration suggests manipulation—”folding the chair” implies control and ownership.
GUNTUR KAARAM (2024) MOVIE | KURCHI MADATHA PETTI SONG LYRICS ENGLISH MEANING
Rajamundry Raga Manjari,
Ragamanjari from Rajahmundry,
Mayamma Peru Thalavanollu Leru Mesthri
No one who doesn’t know the mother of me.
Kalakarla Family Mari Memu Gajja Kadithe Nidarapodhu Nindu Rathiri
All are artists in the family with our dance, we commit sleep robbery.
Sokuladi Swapna Sundari
Stylish, dream girl!
Nee Madatha Soopu Mapatela Malle Pandiri
Your velvety look is a bed of jasmines.
Rachha Rajukundhe Oopiri
My breath is one fire.
Nee Vanka Choosthe Gundelona Deeri Diri Diri
Looking at you makes my heart go crazy.
Thooniga Nadumulona Thootaletti
Loading bullets in your curves;
Thupaki Pelchinave Thingari Chitti
you fired shots, my belle.
Magajathi Natta Madathapetti
Seducing the entire male race.
Aa Kurchini Madatha Petti, Aa Kurchini Madatha Petti
Folding the chair…
Madatha Petti Ma Mama Madatha Petti
Folding it… Fold… Fold.. Folding it.
Madatha Petti Ma Mama Madatha Petti
Folding it… Fold… Fold.. Folding it.
Dani Kemo Mari Danikemo,
To her… To her…
Dani Kemo Mekalisthivi, Mari Nakemo Sanna Biyam Nookalisthivi
To her, you gifted the goats and gave me broken rice.
Mekalemo Vandhaluga Mandhaluga Perigipaye
The goats grew into hundreds and herds…
Nakichina Nookalemo Okka Pootak Karigipaye
My broken rice got melted in titbits
Aada Pachharalla Jukalisthivi
You gave her emerald earrings.
Mari Nakemo Chukka Galla Kokalisthivi
And me dotted, checkered saris.
Dani Chevilo Jukalemo Dhaga Dhaga Merisipaye
Her earrings shone with sparkles.
Naku Pettina Kokalemo Peelikalai Sirigipaye
My saris turned into tatters.
Yem Rasika Rajuvo Mari, Na Dasu Bava Neetho Eppudintha Kirikiri
What sort of patron are you, Mr.Das? You are always with prejudice.
Yem Rasika Rajuvo Mari, Na Dasu Bava Neetho Eppudintha Kirikiri
Mr. Das, what kind of patron are you? You constantly have bias.
Aa Kurchini Madatha Petti
Folding that chair…
Madatha Petti Ma Mama Madatha Petti
Folding it… Fold… Fold.. Folding it.
Madatha Petti Ma Mama Madatha Petti
Folding it… Fold… Fold.. Folding it.
So So So Sokuladi Swapna Sundari
So, so stylish, beautiful lady!
(Madatha Petti Madatha Petti)
(Folding that chair…)
Mapatela Malle Pandiri
Your velvety look is a bed of jasmines.
(Madatha Petti Madatha Petti)
(Folding that chair…)
Rachha Rajukundhe Oopiri
My breath is one fire.
(Madatha Petti Madatha Petti)
(Folding that chair…)
Gundelona Deeri Diri Diri
Looking at you makes my heart go crazy.
Yendhatta Choosthanna
What are you looking at?
Ikkada Evadi Badhalaku Vade Lyrics Writer
Each one is a lyric writer of his own anguish.
Rasukondi Madathetti Padeyandi
Write it, fold it and throw it.
Madatha Petti Ma Mama Ma Mama
Folding it…
Madatha Petti Madatha Petti
Folding it…
Aa Kurchini Madatha Petti
Folding that chair…
Madatha Petti Ma Mama Madatha Petti
Folding it… Fold… Fold.. Folding it.
Madatha Petti Ma Mama Madatha Petti
Folding it… Fold… Fold.. Folding it.
This desire-resentment conflict is the song’s emotional core. The neglected woman, wearing “dotted, checkered saris,” watches her rival thrive with emerald earrings. Even in translation, the lyrics are brimming with emotion, with each line serving as a weapon in this war of jealousy.
