Oh reba reba reba
Intha boomikkilla leave ah
Ondraaga sernthae
Vaa hifi podalaam
Nikkaama odum
Nathi pola odalaama
Anbukku ingae
Oru wifi seiyalaam
Pullodu pesuthae
Siru panithuli athan osai kettu
Vaippoma symphony
Intha boomi kekkathan
Sillendra saaralai
Sila manithuli nammodu poosi
Thalaiyaatti parakkalam
Oru phoenix polathaan
Kanna pinna manasukku
Sandhaa theva illa
Kalla manna aalathaan
Kaasae theva illa
Poovaa thalayaa pottaalum

Oh Reeba Reeba Reeba
Does this earth never take a day off?
Everyone is running together,
Come on, let's give a high-five!
Running non-stop,
Shall we flow just like a river?
For love right here,
Shall we set up a Wi-Fi connection?
It speaks to the blade of grass,
The tiny dewdrop does—hearing its voice,
Shall we compose a symphony
For this earth to hear?
With the cool drizzle
Brushing against us for a few moments,
Let's sway our heads and take flight,
Just like a phoenix!
For this wild and crazy heart,
No subscription is needed!
To play Kalla Manna (Stone or Sand game) and rule,
No money is needed!
Even when flipping heads or tails,
Nobody ever loses!
Even when asking Kaa or Pazham (friend or foe game),
Love is never lost!
For this wild and crazy heart,
No subscription is needed!
To play Kalla Manna (Stone or Sand game) and rule,
No money is needed!
Even when flipping heads or tails,
Nobody ever loses!
Even when asking Kaa or Pazham (friend or foe game),
Love is never lost!
Come, youth is a treasure—once it's gone,
You can never get it back!
You only get this life once,
Why so much overthinking, my beauty?
Come, even though leaves must fall,
They never stop dancing!
For waves of water to overcome barriers,
Oh, how many trials they must go through!
Across the entire world,
We can wander in every direction!
As the seconds gently brush past bit by bit,
And our hearts slowly melt,
In the lap of the river,
We can listen to brand new tunes!
Look, there are no boundary lines at all
For pure joy to take the stage!
It speaks to the blade of grass,
The tiny dewdrop does—hearing its voice,
Shall we compose a symphony
For this earth to hear?
With the cool drizzle
Brushing against us for a few moments,
Let's sway our heads and take flight,
Just like a phoenix!
For this wild and crazy heart,
No subscription is needed!
To play Kalla Manna (Stone or Sand game) and rule,
No money is needed!
Even when flipping heads or tails,
Nobody ever loses!
Even when asking Kaa or Pazham (friend or foe game),
Love is never lost!
For this wild and crazy heart,
No subscription is needed!
To play Kalla Manna (Stone or Sand game) and rule,
No money is needed!
Even when flipping heads or tails,
Nobody ever loses!
Even when asking Kaa or Pazham (friend or foe game),
Love is never lost!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

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.
