Aha... hey!
Hey, my two eyes are like a Ferris wheel!
Stare at them for a while, and the whole world will spin!
Hey, my two cheeks are like rhythm instruments!
Tap them a little, and they will play a hundred beats!
My body is sturdy like teakwood,
look how my nose shines bright!
My body is sturdy like teakwood,
look how my nose shines bright!
All the lines on my palm
are a map to heaven!
My unbraided, flowing hair
is like the jet-black Courtallam falls!
Dhiya, dhiya, dhiya!
Ara dhandanakka dhiya!
Guava, guava, guava,
I am a freshly sliced guava!
Dhiya, dhiya, dhiya!
Ara dhandanakka dhiya!
Boy, boy, hey boy,
eat me up before you go!
Hey, my two eyes are like a Ferris wheel!
Stare at them for a while, and the whole world will spin!
My two cheeks are like rhythm instruments!
Tap them a little, and they will play a hundred beats!
Haan haan haan!
Hahaan hahaan haan... hey!
Hey, they say there are no deer in the Vandalur zoo,
so the whole town comes to gaze at me!
Ha, they say there are no fish in the Vaigai river,
so Madurai is asking to borrow my two eyes!
Hey, do you take the listener for a fool?
Can there ever be a whale inside a well?
Hey, for a Mariamman temple,
you would even claim David is the priest!
This guy really stirs things up!
He stings me like a scorpion!
Oh my, he's totally sweeping me off my feet!
Dhiya, dhiya, dhiya... aah...
Dhiya, dhiya, dhiya!
Ara dhandanakka dhiya!
Guava, guava, guava,
I am a freshly sliced guava!
Dhiya, dhiya, dhiya!
Ara dhandanakka dhiya!
Boy, boy, hey boy,
eat me up before you go!
Hey, asking me to wear a silk saree,
a swarm of silkworms keeps begging me!
Ha, asking me to wear a cotton saree,
all the cotton fields keep nagging me!
Hey, whether it is cotton or silk,
it would be great if you just put something on!
Tearing a handkerchief in two,
this is the era when people stitch clothes out of it!
A guy with quiet mischief,
a guy with a slender frame,
do not walk away from me, come here!
Dhiya, dhiya, dhiya... aah...
Dhiya, dhiya, dhiya!
Ara dhandanakka dhiya!
Guava, guava, guava,
I am a freshly sliced guava!
Dhiya, dhiya, dhiya!
Ara dhandanakka dhiya!
Boy, boy, hey boy,
eat me up before you go!
Hey, my two eyes are like a Ferris wheel!
Stare at them for a while, and the whole world will spin!
My two cheeks are like rhythm instruments!
Tap them a little, and they will play a hundred beats!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Kannu Rendum Ranga Raattinam is a high-energy Tamil folk-pop item song from the movie Kutty (2010), featuring actress Meghna Naidu alongside Dhanush. The song showcases a bold, seductive woman expressing immense pride in her physical beauty and charismatic allure. Through playful exaggerations and local cultural references—comparing her eyes to a spinning carnival wheel, her hair to black waterfalls, and her cheeks to percussion instruments—she teases the hero and celebrates her magnetic impact on everyone around her.
