ஓ ரீபா ரீபா ரீபா
இந்த பூமிக்கில்ல லீவா
ஓடுறாங்க சேர்ந்தே
வா ஹைஃபை போடலாம்
Oh reba reba reba
Is there no leave for this Earth?
Joining together
Come, let's give a high-five
நிக்காம ஓடும்
நதி போல ஓடலாமா
அன்புக்கு இங்கே
ஒரு வைஃபை செய்யலாம்
Running endlessly
Shall we run like a river?
For love over here
Let's create a Wi-Fi connection
புல்லோடு பேசுதே
சிறு பனித்துளி அதன் ஓசை கேட்டு
வைப்போமா சிம்பனி
இந்த பூமி கேக்கத்தான்
It speaks with the blade of grass
Listening to the sound of a tiny dewdrop
Shall we compose a symphony
For this Earth to hear?
சில்லென்ற சாரலை
சில மணித்துளி நம்மோடு பூசி
தலையாட்டி பறக்கலாம்
ஒரு பீனிக்ஸ் போலத்தான்
With a chilly drizzle
Smeared on us for a few moments
Let us nod our heads and fly
Just like a phoenix
கன்னா பின்னா மனசுக்கு
சந்தா தேவ இல்ல
கல்லா மண்ணா ஆளத்தான்
காசே தேவ இல்ல
For a wild, erratic heart
No subscription fee is needed
To rule over stone and earth
No money is needed
பூவா தலையா போட்டாலும்
யாரும் தோற்பதில்லை
காயா பழமா கேட்டாலும்
அன்பே தொலைவதில்ல
Even if we flip heads or tails
Nobody ever loses
Whether asked if raw or ripe
Love never gets lost
கன்னா பின்னா மனசுக்கு
சந்தா தேவ இல்ல
கல்லா மண்ணா ஆளத்தான்
காசே தேவ இல்ல
For a wild, erratic heart
No subscription fee is needed
To rule over stone and earth
No money is needed
பூவா தலையா போட்டாலும்
யாரும் தோற்பதில்லை
காயா பழமா கேட்டாலும்
அன்பே தொலைவதில்ல
Even if we flip heads or tails
Nobody ever loses
Whether asked if raw or ripe
Love never gets lost
வா இளமை புதையல் அது போனா
திரும்ப கிடைக்காது
ஓர் முறைதான் வாழ்க்கை
ஏனோ இத்தனை இத்தனை யோசனை அழகே
Come, the treasure of youth, once gone
Cannot be retrieved again
Life happens only once
Why so much overthinking, my beauty?
வா இலைகள் உதிரும் என்றாலும்
நடனம் நிறுத்தாது
நீர் அலைகள் தடைகள் தாண்டிட
எத்தனை எத்தனை சோதனையோ
Come, even if the leaves fall
The dance will not stop
For water waves to cross obstacles
Oh, how many trials they face!
உலகம் முழுதும்
பல திசைகள் சுற்றலாம்
இனி சிறுக சிறுக நொடிகள் வருட
இதயம் மெதுவாய் உருக
All across the world
Let us travel in many directions
As moments caress us little by little now
Let the heart melt slowly
நதியின் மடியில்
புது இசைகள் கேட்கலாம்
அட எல்லை கோடு ஏதும் இல்லை
உல்லாசங்கள் மேடை ஏற
In the lap of the river
We can listen to new melodies
Ah, there are no boundary lines
As joy takes the stage
புல்லோடு பேசுதே
சிறு பனித்துளி அதன் ஓசை கேட்டு
வைப்போமா சிம்பனி
இந்த பூமி கேக்கத்தான்
It speaks with the blade of grass

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This upbeat, youthful song celebrates living in the present moment, embracing pure joy, and shedding the anxieties of everyday life. The lyrics draw a contrast between the priceless beauty of nature and love versus material transactions. Modern terms like 'Wi-Fi' and 'subscription' are juxtaposed with imagery of dewdrops, rivers, and phoenixes to convey that true happiness and connection require no money or formal permission.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Simile (Uwamai Ani)
“Nathi pola odalaama / Oru phoenix polathaan”
Compares flowing/running freely to a river ('Nathi pola') and soaring high/resiliently to a phoenix ('Oru phoenix polathaan').
Metaphor (Uruvagakani)
“Vaa ilamai puthayal athu pona”
Directly equates youth ('ilamai') to a hidden treasure ('puthayal').
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Sandhaa theva illa / Kaasae theva illa”
Repetition of the phrase 'theva illa' at the end of consecutive stanzas creates a rhythmic and memorable echo.
Repetition / Anaphora
“Eththanai eththanai sodhanaiyo / Iththanai iththanai yosanai azhagae”
The doubling of words ('eththanai eththanai', 'iththanai iththanai') reinforces emotion and adds rhythmic emphasis.
