Hey, the guitar is roaring, who wouldn't be charmed? Come on, mister!
The guitar is roaring, who wouldn't be charmed? Come on, mister!
Fingers strum the strings, the voice enchants,
And the body gleams with a radiant glow!
My name is Radha, I've come perfectly suited for you!
My name is Radha, I've come perfectly suited for you!
Hey, let the guitar roar, drop your swagger,
Don't jump around, hey hey hey!
Let the guitar roar, drop your swagger, don't jump around!
Prancing around just as you please, like a swaying vine,
Girl, understand the tight grip I have on you!
I am the fearless lion, my darling!
Hey, I am the fearless lion... my darling!
Like a diamond flashing and sparkling,
It glitters in these two little eyes!
Male: Hey!
Female: This golden figure is my body!
This golden figure is my body!
I'll dig deep and cut out the diamond,
I'll strike hard and open the mine!
Oh my, I am a true master at this!
Oh my, I am a true master at this!
Step aside and clear the path!
Male: Hand over what you have and give it right here!
The guitar is roaring,
Who wouldn't be charmed? Come on, mister!
Fingers strum the strings, the voice enchants,
And the body gleams with a radiant glow!
And the body gleams with a radiant glow!
I am your match! Ha, go on girl, I have arrived!
Pa-paap pa-pa pa-paap pa-pa pa-pa-pa-paap pa-pa
Female: Tu-thu-ru-thu tu-thu-ru-thu tu-thu-ru-thu
There are so many secrets hidden inside,
And every single one is brand-new stuff!
I am a beauty, full of graceful charm,
I am a beauty, full of graceful charm!
What is kept inside will soon be revealed,
Step by step, you'll understand as we go!
What will happen? How will it turn out?
What will happen? How will it turn out?
The secrets that were kept in the dark...
...now is the time to bring them into the light!
Let the guitar roar,
Drop your swagger, don't jump around!
Prancing around just as you please, like a swaying vine,
Girl, understand the tight grip I have on you!
I am the fearless lion, hey darling! Hey hey!
With pearls and nine precious gems bursting bright,
All my beauty smiles radiant, front and back!
What if I come? What if I give?
What if I come? What if I give?
I have kept the treasure chest safely hidden,
What is this sneaky plan of yours to quietly take it?
No way, mister, that won't do!
Male: He is the man who accomplishes whatever he dreams!
Female: She is the woman who makes everyone swoon!
Let the guitar roar,
Drop your swagger, don't jump around!
Female: Fingers strum the strings, the voice enchants,
And the body gleams with a radiant glow!
Male: I am the fearless lion, my darling!
Hey, I am the fearless lion, my darling...!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This upbeat duet from 'Anjatha Singam' (1987) features a playful, seductive, and boastful musical duel between a male protagonist who calls himself the 'fearless lion' (Anjaatha Singam) and a confident female performer named Radha. Set against westernized guitar riffs and energetic rhythm sections, both characters showcase their swagger, charm, and cleverness through rhythmic banter and catchy refrains. Throughout the track, the lyricist Vaali uses vibrant metaphors comparing physical beauty, charisma, and sharp wit to precious gems, gold mines, and secret hidden treasures. The song captures a high-energy dance stage atmosphere where both leads challenge each other's dominance in charm and spirit.
