Kudiyirundha Koyil song remix,
dedicated to all cinema fans!
Listening to a song while watching a dance,
and enjoying it with delight,
is pure joy, joy, joy!
Isha ha ha ha
Ha ha hoy!
In a look brimming with desire,
a thousand thoughts
will arise, arise, arise!
Isha isha isha isha
Isha isha hoy!
In a look brimming with desire,
a thousand thoughts
will arise, arise, arise!
With dancing, with dancing,
with dancing...
In a look brimming with desire,
a thousand thoughts
Female: will arise, arise, arise!
MGR, the people's politician,
representing the city of lions,
1936 to forever,
never forgotten!
You're the people's champion,
the realest man ever known!
Beside your eyes,
as womanhood settles in,
in the charm of your hands,
as youth wavers,
like sweet tender coconut water,
just at the right ripeness,
shall I offer you one
soothingly? Ah... ah...
On the ripe red fruit,
to satisfy my lover's hunger,
at the spot where you took a bite,
as the sweet taste of honey flows,
shall I come to take part
as your companion? Ah... ah...
Upon the swing
of my heart,
to shower a rain of flowers,
aren't you the rightful one?
Dance to the beat!
Hit the kicks to win!
Hey, shake it to the rhythm!
Let the pitch count!
Drop it like it's hot and keep
the speakers blowing up!
Rapping Kudiyirundha Koyil,
the temple of showing love!
O flower brimming with sweet nectar,
bend and dance!
To rest and unwind,
make room on your lap!
In the feelings held deep inside,
mingle with love!
Forgetting the whole world,
play along! Oof... ah...
With overflowing beauty,
strut with grace!
This heart that has come to you,
measure and test it!
We can give whatever is asked for
boldly! Ah... hoy!
In your gaze,
I will march in celebration!
Sing something fresh and new!
With dancing, ah...
With dancing, ah...
Listening to a song while watching a dance,
and enjoying it with delight,
is pure joy, joy, joy!
Isha ha ha ha hoy!
In a look brimming with desire,
a thousand thoughts
will arise, arise, arise!
Isha isha isha isha
Isha isha ha...
In a look brimming with desire,
a thousand thoughts
will arise, arise, arise!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song is a high-energy club-remix tribute to the iconic classic track 'Aadaludan Paadalai Kettu', originally composed by M. S. Viswanathan for M. G. Ramachandran's 1968 film 'Kudiyirundha Kovil'. Re-imagined for the 2017 action entertainer 'Motta Shiva Ketta Shiva' starring Raghava Lawrence, the song blends the timeless romantic Tamil lyrics written by Alangudi Somu with fast-paced dance beats and modern English rap verses extolling M.G.R.'s legacy. The lyrics capture a sense of carefree joy, romantic banter, seductive charm, and festive celebration through dance and music.
