ஹே ரீங்காரா
யூ ஆர் சோ கிரேசி ஏன்
ஈர்த்தாயோ கண்ணால்
பூ வீசி
Hey humming one
You are so crazy
Why did you attract me
Throwing flowers with your eyes
இதோ மழை
ஊஞ்சலாய் ஏதோ
என்னை ஆட்டுதே
அதே அனல் மீதிலே
ஆண் & பெண் :
நிலா
குடை ஆகுதே சில்
ஹனி ஹனி
Here, like a swing of rain
Something is swaying me
Upon that same fire
Male & Female :
The moon becomes an umbrella
Chill honey honey
ஹே ரீங்காரா
யூ ஆர் சோ கிரேசி
ஓஓஓ

Heyay yae…thaararaa…aa…
அகில உலக அறுவை
கதையின் திலகமே சகல
மனமும் விரும்பி ரசிக்கும்
உருவமே திணற திணற துரத்தி
வருத்தும் ஒருவனே ஏன் இன்னும்
இவனின் இயல்பு அடடா பிடிக்குமே
The crown jewel of all the world's silly stories
A charming soul loved and enjoyed by every heart
One who chases and torments until one suffocates
Yet, wow, his nature is so endearing
வெறுப்பது எது
பிடிப்பது எது ஒரு முறை
அதை சொல்லி விடு என
இவனிடம் கேட்டால்
What is hated, what is liked
Tell us that just once
If anyone asks him this
ஒரு நல்ல
நாள் பாத்து சொல்றேன்
"I will pick a good day and tell you"
ஹே ரீங்காரா
ஆஹா ஆஹாஹா யூ

ஹே இறங்கி வந்தேன்
எவனோ உன் கால சுத்த
பொசுங்கி நின்னேன்
Hey Lord Yama
I came down
Someone wrapping around your feet
I stood there scorched
அடி எரிமேட்டு
சாராயமா நானும்
கொதிச்சேன் உன்
யமகாந்த மூஞ்சல்
அடியே யமனே
செத்தேன்
Like burning illicit liquor
I too boiled over
Beneath your magnetic swing
O Lord Yama, I perished
நான் போராளி
வெல்வேன் வால் ஏந்தி
ஆஆ ஆஆ
I am a warrior
I will conquer and live on
Aaah…aaa….
ஹே ரீங்காரா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Hey Reengaara' from 'Oru Nalla Naal Paathu Solren' captures a whimsical, quirky, and eccentric vibe that mirrors the film's playful story. Written by Lyricist Karthik Netha, the track describes a protagonist who is eccentric, unpredictable, and endlessly full of silly tales, yet remains irresistible and beloved by those around him. The lyrics combine lighthearted romantic banter with dramatic, comical references to Lord Yama and battle metaphors. At its core, the song celebrates living spontaneously without giving direct answers to life's serious questions—encapsulated by the signature punchline 'Oru nalla naal paathu solren' (I'll find a good day and tell you). It blends modern Tanglish expressions ('You are so crazy', 'Chill honey honey') with traditional Tamil imagery to create a stylish, upbeat energy.

Poetic devices
Iyaipu (Rhyming Endings)
“Agila ulaga aruvai kathaiyin thilagamae / Sagala manamum virumbi rasikkum uruvamae”
Lines 14 to 17 end with rhyming suffixes ('thilagamae', 'uruvamae', 'oruvanae', 'pidikumae'), creating a rhythmic and catchy poetic flow.
Ethugai (Second Letter Assonance)
“Agila ulaga... / Sagala manamum...”
The second consonant 'gi/ga' matches across the consecutive lines ('Agila' and 'Sagala'), establishing traditional Tamil structural harmony.
Oxymoron / Contrast
“Athae anal meethilae / Nila kudai aguthae”
Contrasts intense heat/fire ('anal') with the cooling relief of a moon umbrella ('nila kudai'), symbolizing how love or madness offers cool relief in the midst of turmoil.
Metaphor
“Itho mazhai oonjalaai”
Compares rain to a swing ('mazhai oonjalaai'), metaphorically expressing a feeling of being delightfully tossed around by emotions.
