நான் ராஜா ஆகப்போறனே
என் எதிரிங்க யார்?......
I am going to become the king
Who can stand against me?
ஹே ஹே இவன் ராஜானா
யாரு நம்புவா
இவன் வாய பூட்ட போறேன்
Ha ha, if he is the king
Who will believe it?
I am going to shut his mouth
என் போல ராஜா கிடைச்சுட்டா
உனக்கில்ல பிரச்சனை
கம்பீரமா என் தோரணை
கேள் என் கர்ஜனை
If you get a king like me
You won't have any problems
Majestic is my posture
Hear my roar
ஹாஹூ இப்போ வரை நீ
ஒண்ணுமில்லா கூஜா
Haahooo, until now you are
A useless nobody
கொஞ்ச நாளில் நான்தான் ராஜா......
In a few days, I will be the king...
உன் கற்பனை எல்லாம்
நல்லாத்தான் இருக்கு
ஆனா அதுக்கு முன்னாடி
All your imagination
Is good indeed
But before that
யார் சொல்வா இதச் செய்
நில்லு... நான் என்ன சொல்றேனா
யார் சொல்லுவா நில்லு
சொல்றத கேக்க மாட்டியா?.....
யார் சொல்லுவா நிறுத்து
யாரு சொல்லுவா பாக்க......ஆஅ......
இங்க பாருன்னு சொல்றேன்ல
Who tells you: do this?
Male: Wait... what I am saying is...
Female: Who tells you: wait!
Male: Won't you listen to what I say?
Female: Who tells you: stop!
Who tells you: look here...!
Male: I am telling you to look here!
கட்டளைகள் உதவாதே
ஹான் அது கண்டிப்பா முடியாது
கட்டிப்போட கூடாதே
Commands will not work here
Male: Haan, that is definitely impossible
You cannot tie me down or control me
உன்கிட்ட நான் ஒன்னு சொல்லணும்
கொஞ்சம் நேரம் கிடைக்குமா?
I need to tell you one thing
Can I get a little time?
இருவாயன் சொல்லும் அறிவுரை
என் காதில் கேக்குமா?
Advice given by a hornbill (Zazu)
Will it ever enter my ears?
இது போலதான் உன் ஆட்சி இருக்கும்னா
நான் அதில இல்ல
ராஜினாமா இந்தா
நாட்ட விட்டுப் போறேன்
திரும்ப இங்க வரவேமாட்டேன்...
If your reign is going to be like this
I will not be a part of it
Resignation! Here, I am leaving this kingdom..
I will never come back here again
இவன் வாயோ ரொம்ப நீளம் ஆச்சே
சிம்பா
His mouth has become way too long!
Simba…
கொஞ்ச நாளில் நான்தான் உன் ராஜா
In a few days, I will be the king
இடப்பக்கம் பாரு
வலப்பக்கம் பாரு
என்னப் போல ஊரில்
யாரிருக்கா கூறு?
யாரும் இல்ல
Look to the left
Look to the right
In this land, like me
Tell me, who else is there?
Male: No one at all!
ஓ நெஞ்சில் எல்லாம்
இன்பம் வந்தாச்சா
ஓ மிருகம் பறவை
ஒண்ணா சேர்ந்தாச்சா
சிம்பாவினால் இங்கு
பூக்குமே ரோஜா
Oh, inside everyone's heart
Joy has arrived!
Oh, animals and birds
Have gathered together as one!
Because of Simba, right here
Roses will bloom!
கொஞ்ச நாளில் நான்தான் ராஜா
In a few days, I will be the king
கொஞ்ச நாளில் நீதான் ராஜா
In a few days, you will be the king
கொஞ்ச நாளில் நான்
அனைவரும் :
நீதான் ராஜா
In a few days, I...
All: You will be the king!

Konjam neram kidaikkumaa?
Can I get a little time?
Iruvaayan sollum arivurai
Advice given by a hornbill (Zazu)
En kaadhil kekkumaa?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is the Tamil dubbed version of the iconic Disney song 'I Just Can't Wait to Be King' from The Lion King (2019). It depicts a young, spirited lion cub, Simba, excitedly singing about his future royal status as king of the Pride Lands. He boasts about his upcoming freedom from rules and orders, playfully teasing Zazu (the hornbill advisor) who desperately tries to instill discipline and sense into him.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Rhyme / Monorhyme (Asochanai / Mohnai)
“Idappakkam paaru / Valappakkam paaru”
Repetition of ending rhyming sounds in consecutive lines to create a cheerful rhythmic beat suitable for a children's playful song.
Metaphor (Uvamaani)
“Iruvaayan sollum arivurai / En kaadhil kekkumaa?”
Simba refers to Zazu's bird species (iruvaayan/hornbill) and dismisses his advice metaphorically, while Zazu calls Simba's grand ideas 'karpanai' (pure fantasy).
Imagery
“Chimbaavinaal ingu / Pookkumae roajaa”
Poetic imagery of roses blooming and animals uniting, symbolizing prosperity and joy under Simba's future rule.
