{என் வீட்டு ஜன்னல் தாண்டி
போகாமல் சுற்றுது தென்றல்
என் பாத தூசு பட்டு
அங்கங்கே ரோஜாப்பூக்கள்} ( 2 )
Crossing past my house window
The breeze circles around without leaving
இந்திரன் இளைத்தான் சந்திரன் கறுத்தான்
இருக்கும் நிலையும் மன்மதன் தொலைத்தான்
பிரம்மனே படைத்தான் பிரம்மனே மலைத்தான்
ராத்திரி பகலாய் என்னையே நினைத்தான்
Touched by the dust of my feet
Roses bloom here and there
அழகே எப்போதும் ஜெயிக்கும்
இளமை என்றென்றும் நிலைக்கும்
உலகம் என்னுள்ளே அடக்கம் ஜிந்தாபாத்.....

Indra grew thin, the moon grew dark
And Manmadhan lost his standing status
Brahma created me, Brahma himself was astonished
He thought of me night and day
நடக்கும் அழகில் பல பேர் விழுந்தார்
இடையின் அசைவில் பலபேர் உடைந்தார்
சிரிக்கும் அழகில் பலபேர் உதிர்ந்தார்
குளிக்கும் அழகில் பல பேர் நனைந்தார்
Beauty will always win
Youth will remain forever
The world is contained within me, long live!
இளமை சங்கீதம் நான்தான்
புதுமை பெண்ணிங்கு நான்தான்
அழகின் தாய் நாடு நான்தான் ஜிந்தாபாத்....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic song celebrates the carefree spirit, beauty, and confidence of a modern young woman. She compares her sweetness to exotic fruits like strawberries and mulberries while embracing modern attire and an independent lifestyle. The lyrics express her irresistible charm, which mesmerizes men, sparks envy in other women, and leaves even divine beings in awe of her beauty. Composed by Deva with lyrics by Pazhani Bharathi and sung by S. Janaki, the song captures the late 1990s Tamil cinema trend of introducing fashionable, western-influenced heroine intro numbers packed with lively beats and bold expressions.
