Dhin dhin thara
Dhin dhin tharana, my beloved...
Dhin dhin thara
Dhin dhin tharana, my beloved...
Hey hey, ho ho
Hey hey
Dhin dhin thara
Dhin dhin tharana, my beloved...
Hey hey
Dhin dhin thara
Dhin dhin tharana, my beloved...
Ho ho
Look over here, just once,
look at me, my beloved!
Don't you have any pity, my beloved?
Hey hey
Look over here, just once,
look at me, my beloved!
Don't you have any pity, my beloved?
Ho ho
My beloved, my beloved, for just a second,
look at me!
Hey hey
The whole world would turn peaceful
for a few moments!
Ho ho
Shall I tell you
when the Earth's birthday is?
Female: The day love was born,
isn't it on that very day?
Look over here, just once,
look at me, my beloved!
Don't you have a heart, my beloved?
Hey hey
Thara rara thara rara
Haiya haiya...
Tell me where I begin,
tell me that!
Tell me how deep
you have merged into me, oho!
From the smallest atom, speak your wish,
tell me your desire!
All the way to my soul,
speak of the longing that stirs me!
Whatever you want to say,
say it quickly!
Should I lose myself or fade away?
Tell me what to do!
For the very first time,
touch my softness and speak!
Fully and completely,
behold my womanhood and speak!
Dhin dhin thara
Dhin dhin tharana, my beloved...
In the heart, in the heart,
haiya haiya,
the sweet agony of two eyes,
haiya haiya!
A screen of life within the mind,
haiya haiya,
a heavy downpour inside dreams,
haiya haiya!
You told me to stay, and I stayed!
You told me to live, and I lived!
Female: You told me to blossom, and I blossomed!
You told me to unite, and I joined you!
In every flower,
what are you, after all?
You are not just that—
you are womanhood itself!
The whole world, the whole world
pleads with you,
and begs for just once,
just one single glance!
Dhin dhin thara
Dhin dhin tharana, my beloved...
Dhin dhin thara
Dhin dhin tharana, my beloved...
Hey hey
Look over here, just once,
look at me, my beloved!
Don't you have any pity, my beloved?
Hey hey
My beloved, my beloved, for just a second,
look at me!
The whole world would turn peaceful
for a few moments!
Shall I tell you
when the Earth's birthday is?
Female: The day love was born,
isn't it on that very day?
Look over here, just once,
look at me, my beloved!
Don't you have a heart, my beloved?
Hey hey
Thara rara thara rara
Haiya haiya...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Dolna from the 2003 Tamil film Parasuram is a romantic duet expressing passion, affection, and total emotional surrender. The male protagonist affectionately addresses his love as Dolna, pleading for her attention and declaring that even a momentary glance from her could bring non-violence and peace to the entire world. The lovers playfully debate romantic philosophies, such as declaring that the Earth's true birthday was the day love was born. In the stanzas, the song describes how their identities merge at an atomic level and how completely they obey each other's emotional commands—blossoming, living, and stopping purely at each other's request. Written by Pa. Vijay with music by A.R. Rahman, the song combines catch vocal scatting with poetic expressions of romance.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Adukku Thodai (Anaphora / Repetition)

Ingae ingae oru murai

The repetition of 'Ingae ingae' (Look here, look here) creates emphasis and reinforces the lover's earnest pleading for attention.

Hyperbole (Exaggeration)

Agilamae maarumae ahimsaiyaai

The lyricist poetically exaggerates that a single look from the beloved could transform the entire cosmos into a peaceful, non-violent place.

Iyaiputh Thodai (End Rhyme)

Nirkka endraai nidruvitten

The rhyming action verbs ('nidruvitten' and 'vaazhndhuvitten') provide rhythmic harmony and flow across consecutive lines.
