Oh, you are someone who never plays tricks with women!
You are someone who never steps to a wrong beat!
Chandramukhi was mesmerized by you!
ஓ பெண்ணிடத்தில் தில்லு முல்லு பண்ணாதவன் நீ
எப்பவும் தப்பு தாளம் போடாதவன் நீ
உன்னிடம் சொக்கி போன சந்திரமுகி
What arrogance, what courage!
That is you, the untamed wild bull!
I am a proud, delicate golden deer.
You are the master of this mansion!
என்ன திமிரு என்ன துணிவு
அது நீதான் மொறட்டு காளை
நான் சிம்மான் சிறு பொன்மான்
இந்த மாடத்து நீ தான் எஜமான்
My love, who holds me in love and makes love,
I followed behind you like the blue in the sky.
What penances did I perform to unite with a woman like you?
Where will I ever go leaving you behind?
காதலில் என்னை வைத்து காதல் புரியும் கண்ணே
வானத்தில் நீலம் போல வந்தேன் உன் பின்னே
உன்னை போல் பெண்ணை சேர என்ன தவங்கள் செய்தேன்
என்றுமே உன்னை விட்டு எங்க செல்வேன்
Oh... can I live even for a moment without you?
I am like a fish wilting on dry land without water.
If I live together with you, even poison becomes honey.
You are my very life!
ஓ......நீ இன்றி கொஞ்ச நேரம் வாழும் நானா
நீர் இன்றி தரையில் மீண்டும் வாடும் மீன்தான்
உன்னுடன் சேர்ந்தே வாழ்ந்தால் விஷமும் தேன்தான்
என்னோட உயிரும் நீயே
If you are the Pokkiri queen, I am the formidable king!
I am Annamalai who pours out the milk of love.
A brave hero like Veera, a pouncing tiger!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'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.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Cinematic Allusion
“Pokkiri raja pollaathavan nee / Annaanthu yaarum parkkum annaamalai nee”
The lyrics explicitly incorporate titles of famous Rajinikanth blockbuster films (Pokkiri Raja, Polladhavan, Annamalai) as wordplay describing the lover's grand personality.
Simile (Upamai)
“Neer indri tharaiyil meendum vaadum meenthaan”
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.
Alliteration (Monai)
“Kaavalil nammai vaiththu kaalangal poga / Kaanpaavai yaavum vanna kolangal aaga”
Repetition of initial consonant sounds ('K' sound) across lines creating a pleasing rhythmic flow.

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.
