Enna venumWhat do you need?
Male
Vaanavilla valachu vandhuI will bend the rainbow
Valavi seiya porenAnd make bangles out of it.
Nilavaa pudichu vanthuI will catch the moon
Nethi pottaa naan thaarenAnd give it to you as a bindi for your forehead.
Male
Raasathi sirippukaaga thanJust for the princess's smile,
Raasathi vetkam kaaga thanJust for the princess's bashfulness.
Male
Ada vilaiyatta sollurenu ninaikaadhadiHey girl, don't think I am saying this playfully!
Un sirippukku eede illa muraikaadhadiNothing equals your smile, don't glare at me girl!
Andha puravam surukka mugam thirupadhadiDon't knit your eyebrows and turn your face away girl!
Un kalla sirippa paathuputtendiI have seen your mischievous smile, girl!
Male
Ada thalaiyatti poravale odaathadiHey girl who walks away nodding her head, don't run away!
Indha vilayattum poiyum illa nesanthaanadiThis isn't a game or a lie, it's true love, girl!
Naan tharikettu nikkurene pogathadiI am standing here uncontrollably restless, don't leave girl!
Haiyo thoondil meena sikkikitten diOh dear, I am caught like a fish on a hook, girl!
Male

Dhisai engum paaravaiyaalaWith her glance cast in all directions,
Sallada poduraaShe sifts through everything like a sieve.
Male

Nottam vittu seenduravaShe casts a glance and teases me,
Asaiyaama asa pottuWithout moving, she ruminates

Onnonna yenga vechiMaking me yearn for each one,
Manasa thaakuravaShe strikes my heart.
Male
Adi raasathi en nenjulaOh princess, in my heart
Dhoosa nulanjiEntering like a speck of dust,
Mulu moochaa uyir kootilWith full breath in the cage of my life,
Ninnu aani adichaShe stood and drove a nail deep inside.
Male
Naan varuven nedhamumI will come every single day,
Unna kavarven dhenamumI will captivate you every day,
Raasathi vetkam paaka thaaneJust to witness the princess's shyness!
Male
Ada vilaiyatta sollurenu ninaikaadhadiHey girl, don't think I am saying this playfully!

Nee rendil onnu solli poyendiTell me one way or another before you leave, girl!

Beyond the translation

Song interpretation

This playful Tamil romantic track depicts a young lover passionately expressing his deep affection and fascination for his beloved, whom he affectionately addresses as 'Raasathi' (Princess). He indulges in poetic hyperbolic declarations, promising to bend a rainbow into bangles and bring down the moon as a forehead ornament just to see her smile and blush. He describes her captivating and elusive nature—how she steals glances, teases him effortlessly, and leaves his heart completely hooked. Throughout the song, the protagonist pleads with her not to dismiss his sincere feelings as mere banter. Comparing her entry into his life to rain and her silent hesitation to a statue, he earnestly requests a clear answer to his love rather than being left in agonising anticipation.
