Om zaarare zaare zaare zaaraarae zaaraa rae
Om zaarare zaare zaare zaaraarae zaaraa rae
You are the Rogue King, the fierce and mighty hero!
You are Annamalai, whom everyone looks up to in awe!
A great hero of science, a pouncing tiger!
Om zaarare zaare zaare zaaraarae zaaraa rae
Om zaarare zaare zaare zaaraarae zaaraa rae
Oh, you are the one who plays no deceitful tricks with women!
You are the one who never strikes a false rhythm!
Chandramukhi herself was completely entranced by you!
What magnificent pride, what incredible courage!
That is you, the wild, untamed bull!
I am the lion, and the gentle golden deer...
You are the master of this grand mansion!
Holding me in love and showering your affection, my darling!
Like the blue bound to the sky, I followed right behind you!
What great penance did I perform to unite with a woman like you?
Where would I ever go, leaving you forever?
Oh... could I live even for a moment without you?
I am like a fish out of water, wilting on dry land!
If I live together with you, even poison tastes like honey!
You are my very life!
If you are the Rogue Queen, then I am the fierce hero!
I am Annamalai, pouring the sweet milk of love!
A great hero of science, a pouncing tiger!
Om zaarare zaare zaare zaaraarae zaaraa rae
Om zaarare zaare zaare zaaraarae zaaraa rae
Hey, I am the one who plays no tricks anywhere!
I am the one who never hits a wrong beat!
Chandramukhi was completely enchanted by me!
What stunning beauty, what graceful curves!
Your walk, your waist, and your attire...
Conquering you, it shall declare first...
It is the majestic force of this Padayappa!
Among the crowd of men, you are the handsome Tamilian!
You worked some magical spell and swept me off my feet!
Struck by the gaze of your devotee, I brushed past and fell for you!
Therefore, I longed to touch you!
Oh... are you honey wrapped in woven gold?
Are you a gentle breeze carrying five-carat diamonds?
Are you the radiant moon draped in lovely garments?
Are you a woman, or is your dress pure gold?
...
Om zaarare zaare zaare zaaraarae zaaraa rae
Om zaarare zaare zaare zaaraarae zaaraa rae
Like a boat made of mirror coins floating along the river,
Not floating on tears, but gliding on pure water,
You and I can live endlessly like the vast sky!
Om zaarare zaare zaare zaaraarae zaaraa rae
Om zaarare zaare zaare zaaraarae zaaraa rae
As time protects us while the years roll by,
May everything we behold turn into vibrant, colorful patterns!
My life, my beloved, will always remain with you!
Om zaarare zaare zaare zaaraarae zaaraa rae
Om zaarare zaare zaare zaaraarae zaaraa rae

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'Om Zaarare' from Kuselan (2008) is an energetic, high-spirited homage track written as a romantic duet between the lead characters. Veteran lyricist Vaali ingeniously weaves iconic movie titles starring Superstar Rajinikanth—such as Pokkiri Raja, Polladhavan, Annamalai, Paayum Puli, Thillu Mullu, Thappu Thaalangal, Chandramukhi, Murattu Kaalai, Ejamaan, and Padayappa—into the courtship dialogue of the song.

Pokkiri raja pollaathavan nee / Annaanthu yaarum parkkum annaamalai nee

Compares living without the beloved to a fish suffering on dry land without water.

Metaphor (Uruvagam)

Unnudan saernthae vaazhnthaal vishamum thaenthaan

Metaphorically states that enduring hardships or hardship (poison) becomes sweet (honey) when shared with the loved one.

Trivia

The song 'Om Zaarare' features an unusual musical combination: Punjabi bhangra pop icon Daler Mehndi was brought in by young composer G. V. Prakash Kumar to sing alongside veteran playback legends K. S. Chithra and Sadhana Sargam. Lyricist Vaali intentionally wrote the song filled with titles of Superstar Rajinikanth's iconic movies as a meta-tribute to Rajinikanth, who played the star character Ashok Kumar in the movie Kuselan.
