↻ English translation
Dhinam oru dharam una aruge
Paartha pothum
Adha nee yen kekkurave
Enna venum
Vaanavilla valachu vandhu
Valavi seiya poren
Nilavaa pudichu vanthu
Nethi pottaa naan thaaren
Raasathi sirippukaaga than
Raasathi vetkam kaaga than
Ada vilaiyatta sollurenu ninaikaadhadi
Un sirippukku eede illa muraikaadhadi
Andha puravam surukka mugam thirupadhadi
Un kalla sirippa paathuputtendi
Ada thalaiyatti poravale odaathadi
Indha vilayattum poiyum illa nesanthaanadi
Naan tharikettu nikkurene pogathadi
Haiyo thoondil meena sikkikitten di
Paakaama paakurava
Ketkaama kekkurava
Dhisai engum paaravaiyaala
Sallada poduraa
Yekkapattu naan kidakka
Nottam vittu seendurava
Asaiyaama asa pottu
Aala kollura
Silluvandu settai ellaam
Ravandaa nadathiruvaa
Onnonna yenga vechi
Manasa thaakurava
Adi raasathi en nenjula
Dhoosa nulanji
Mulu moochaa uyir kootil
Ninnu aani adicha
Naan varuven nedhamum
Unna kavarven dhenamum
Raasathi vetkam paaka thaane
Ada vilaiyatta sollurenu ninaikaadhadi
Un sirippukku eede illa muraikaadhadi
Andha puravam surukka mugam thirupadhadi
Un kalla sirippa paathuputtendi
Ada mazhaiyattam vandhavale thoorathadi
Oru silaiyattam nikkuriye badhil solladi
Naan dhavam kaathu nikkurene odharaadhadi
Nee rendil onnu solli poyendi
Even if I see you right next to me
once every single day,
why do you still ask me
what it is that I want?
I will bend the rainbow
and make bangles out of it for you.
I will catch the moon
and give it to you as a bindi for your forehead,
all for my princess's smile,
all for my princess's blush.
Don't think I am saying this just as a joke!
Nothing matches your smile, so don't glare at me!
Don't knit your eyebrows and turn your face away;
I already caught that secret smile of yours!
Hey girl, nodding your head as you go, don't run away!
This isn't a game or a lie, it's the absolute truth!
I am standing here completely helpless, don't leave me!
Oh, I'm caught like a fish on a hook!
She looks without seeming to look,
she asks without speaking a word.
With her gaze in every direction,
she sifts through everything.
While I lie here aching for her,
she watches closely and teases me.
Taking her time without even moving,
she is killing me with her charm.
With all the mischief of a restless little cricket,
she keeps making her rounds.
Making me yearn for each little thing,
she strikes straight at my heart.
My princess, entering my chest
like a tiny speck of dust,
drove a nail with all her might
deep into the cage of my soul.
I will come every day,
I will win you over every day,
just to see my princess blush!
Don't think I am saying this just as a joke!
Nothing matches your smile, so don't glare at me!
Don't knit your eyebrows and turn your face away;
I already caught that secret smile of yours!
You came like a sudden rain, don't just drizzle!
Standing there like a statue, give me an answer!
I am waiting like a man in deep penance, don't brush me away!
Give me a clear yes or no before you go!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

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.
