My beloved,
There is nothing left in my body.
My beloved,
There is nothing left inside my soul.
My beloved,
Your loved one is all alone here.
My beloved,
Why is there this distance between us?
In this whole world, nothing matters
Compared to the love we hold in our hands.
You do not need to worry at all.
My queen, apart from thoughts of you,
There is nothing else.
My queen,
Only in your thoughts is there no burden.
My queen... my queen,
My queen...
I lost sight of your face,
I withered like a dry leaf without even realizing it.
I forgot all my words,
Like in a dream, I lost my voice.
My darling... oh my darling,
Longing to see you,
Why did my heart ache and yearn so much?
My darling, oh my darling,
Didn't the ticking clock
Choke me with every passing moment?
Even when I stay awake
And forget to sleep,
It is always with you,
All my dreams, my darling.
My queen,
There is nothing left in my body.
My queen,
There is nothing left inside my soul.
In this whole world, nothing matters
Compared to the love we hold in our hands.
You do not need to worry at all.
My beloved,
My queen,
On the days when you were not there,
I suffered in deep agony,
My gentle one.
On the days when you were not there,
I suffered in deep agony,
My handsome love.
Life has returned to me now;
I suffered without your love,
And now my loneliness has ended.
My beloved,
My queen,
I will let you rest your head on my shoulder.
My queen,
I will show you all my love and longing.
My queen,
I will let you rest your head on my shoulder.
My queen, oh my queen,
My queen.

Raasavae / Raasathi is a poignant romantic duet expressing the deep emotional bond, yearning, and ultimate solace shared between two lovers. The lyrics alternate between the male and female perspectives, highlighting how empty and lifeless their existence feels when separated from one another. The world's worries fade into insignificance when compared to the magnitude of their love. Through vivid imagery of withered leaves, restless nights, and breathless longing, the song captures the agony of distance and the immense relief and warmth found upon reuniting in each other's embrace.
