Overall song meaning

This playful and romantic song features a protagonist expressing his deep affection for his beloved, whom he calls 'Thanga Rathiname' (golden gem). He begins with poetic metaphors of nature, describing setting a snare for a peacock only to catch a deer, symbolizing unexpected love. He humorously suggests skipping complex traditions like consulting astrologers and checking horoscopes so they can get together easily. He then proposes a secret late-night rendezvous, planning to come disguised as an ascetic while her father and the village sleep. Ultimately, he assures her that their secret love will lead to a grand wedding celebrated in front of the entire town.
