Ohnana ohnana ohnana
Oh, did I join you?
Ohnana ohnana ohnana
Oh, is it really you coming?
Like a full moon up in the sky,
did I call out to you?
The beauty of Indra's realm is for you,
for you alone I sprouted... ah...
{O brave hero, the world is at your feet,
O valiant one, if only you desire it...} (2)
……………………………….
Is it dizziness or exhaustion?
Climb into my lap, I will sing to you.
Guiding you along your path,
I shall become your companion.
To break through these obstacles,
and to move these mountains,
I watch on, just to behold you.
This falling waterfall,
like the matted locks of Lord Shiva,
I withstand right here.
Just to catch a sight of your flower-like face,
I would split this earth into two!
{O brave hero, the world is at your feet,
O valiant one, if only you desire it...} (2)
Sprout high and come forth,
I pray for the boon of your arrival.
Pierce through the mountain peaks and come,
I keep my eyes fixed on the path waiting for you.
One who vanquishes foes in a stream of blood,
Majestic ornament atop the highest peaks,
Grand and solemn like a mighty mountain range,
O victorious supreme hero,
Terrifying as a cosmic dance across the sky,
Roaring with overwhelming might,
An ocean of emotions in the heart,
One who conquers sweet nectar and reaches beyond,
{A terrifying ray, an ocean of majesty,
A mighty chariot bearing supreme strength...
A terrifying ray, an ocean of majesty,
A mighty chariot bearing supreme strength...} (3)
{O brave hero, the world is at your feet,
O valiant one, if only you desire it...} (4)
My body trickles and melts right here,
O Cupid, where are your fingers?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song represents the Tamil rendition of 'Dhivara' (titled 'Dheerane' / 'Veerane') from the epic action film Baahubali: The Beginning (2015), featuring music composed by M. M. Keeravani with lyrics by Madhan Karky. The narrative depicts Shivudu's passionate and unstoppable climb up a colossal waterfall, driven by visions of Avantika and an irresistible calling to reach the world above the clouds. The lyrics merge ethereal romance with intense heroic ambition, portraying Shivudu as an unbeatable warrior destined to conquer natural barriers and claim his heroic fate. High Sanskritized Tamil vocabulary elevates the grand visual spectacle of the protagonist scaling towering cliffs.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Emonai (Second-letter Rhyme)

Thadaigalai thagarthindha / Malaigalai nagarthida

The repetition of the second consonant 'da' in 'Thadaigalai' and 'Malaigalai' provides classic Tamil poetic rhythm and structure.

Simile / Metaphor

Vizhum indha aruviyai / Sadaiyanin sadaiyena

Comparing the mighty rushing waterfall to 'Sadaiyanin sadai' (Lord Shiva's divine matted hair) creates powerful mythological imagery.

Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navitchi)

Un poo mugam athai kaanavae / Indha boomi rendaaga naan pizhapenae

The expression that he would split the earth in two just to catch a single glance of her face highlights his intense passion.

Trivia

In Baahubali: The Beginning, this song sequence marks Shivudu's triumph over nature as he scales the legendary waterfall. Lyricist Madhan Karky blended high Tamil and Sanskrit chants (like Vijitharipurudhiradhaara) to emphasize the grand mythic scale set by director S. S. Rajamouli.
