My dancing diamond!
Dancing diamond, dancing diamond!
My beautiful child, my treasure!
My green cooking pot has gone dry.
My raw cooking pot has dried up.
My queen mother.
My raw cooking pot has dried up.
எனை ஆளும் தாய் எங்கே
உனை காணா நான் இங்கே
அன்பறியா மழலையை போல
உனை ஏங்கி தவிக்கின்றேன்
Where is the mother who rules over me?
Here I am, unable to see you.
Like an innocent infant who knows no love,
I long for you and suffer.
எனை ஆளும் தாய் எங்கே
உனை காணா நான் இங்கே
அன்பறியா மழலையை போல
உனை ஏங்கி
Where is the mother who rules over me?
Here I am, unable to see you.
Like an innocent infant who knows no love,
Yearning for you...
என்னை போல எத்தன பேரு
அழுது புரண்டு கதறி
உறவை இழந்து நிக்கிறான் பாரு
விடைகள் அறிந்து
கணக்கை முடிக்க போறேன்டா
Look how many people like me,
Crying, rolling on the ground, and wailing,
Having lost their loved ones,
Are standing right here!
Finding the answers,
I am going to settle the score, man!
ரெடி கெட் டவுன்
Ready, get down!
துப்பறிவாளன் கண்ணு வெச்சா
ரேடார் ஸ்கெட்ச் பத்தி
பதினெட்டு பட்டி
ஊருக்குள்ள சுத்தி
கேட்டு பாரு மச்சி
Once the detective sets his eyes on you,
Check out his radar sketch!
Go around eighteen villages,
Roam around the town,
And ask around, buddy!
ரூட் ஆம் தி ரேடிஸ்
மை அம்மா செட்
ஐ எம் கிரேட்டஸ்ட்
என் உள்ளுக்குள்ள எரியுது
லைக் வைல்டு ஃப்யர்
Rude, I'm the baddest,
My mother said,
I am the greatest!
Burning inside me,
Like a wildfire!
ஆடுபுலி ஆட்டம் ஆட போறேன்
உன் கண்ணை கட்டி
வித்த காட்ட போறேன்
பகை தீரும் வரை
உன்னை விட மாட்டேன்
இனி எவர் குடும்பத்தையும்
தொட மாட்ட நீ
I am going to play the primal tiger game!
Blindfolding you,
I am going to show you my tricks!
Until my enmity is satisfied,
I will not let you go!
From now on, anyone else's family...
You will never lay a hand on!
என் பொடைச்ச அரிசி
பொடைச்ச அரிசி பொடைச்ச அரிசி
பொடைச்ச அரிசி புளுச்சிரிச்சி
பொழுது சாஞ்சி நேரமாச்சி
பொழுது சாஞ்சி நேரமாச்சி
என் பொன்மயிலே உன்ன காணலயே
My winnowed rice, winnowed rice,
Winnowed rice, winnowed rice,
It got infested with worms!
The sun has set, it has gotten late.
The sun has set, it has gotten late.
My golden peacock, I couldn't find you!
பூத கண்ணாடி
தொரத்தி வருவேன் பின்னாடி
சந்து பொந்து சைடு
கேப்பில் ஓட வெப்பேன் டேய்
With a magnifying glass,
I will chase you from behind!
Through alleys, lanes, and side gaps,
I will make you run, hey!
வண்டவால் எல்லாம்
தாண்டவாளம் ஏறுச்சு
வெச்சு செய்ய போறேன்
மண்ண கவ்வ வெப்பேன் டேய்
All your secrets and dirty laundry,
Have boarded the train track,
I am going to teach you a lesson!
I will make you bite the dust, hey!
நான் போற போக்குல ஓடுற
காட்டு ரவி தான்
அதுல மாட்டுனா மவனே நீயும்
கந்த துணி தான்
Running in the path I take,
I am like a wild sun!
Son, if you get caught in it,
You'll turn into a torn rag!
எந்த துப்பாக்கி தோட்டாக்கும்
நான் பயந்ததில்ல
தோ கொண்டாந்தான் பீரங்கி
படை செதறுதில்ல
To any gun's bullet,
I have never been afraid!
Bring on the cannon!
My army will not shatter!
உன்ன பெத்த ராசாத்தி ...(3)

உனை காணா நான் இங்கே
அன்பறியா மழலையை போல
உனை ஏங்கி தவிக்கின்றேன்} (2)

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This track from 'Agent Kannayiram' captures a complex dual narrative blending deep emotional trauma with fierce, fast-paced detective action. At its core lies the devastating loss of a mother—metaphorically expressed through the image of a dried-up cooking pot ('pacha ulai kaanchiruchu') and the helpless yearning of an orphaned child. The protagonist grieves the maternal figure who called him her 'dancing diamond' and treasure.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Simile (Upamai)
“Anbariaya mazhalaiyai pola / Unai yengi thavikindren”
The protagonist compares his grief and helplessness to an innocent infant who does not yet understand love, crying helplessly for his mother.
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“En ullukkulla eriyuthu / Like wild fire”
The burning pain and rage inside his heart are directly equated to a raging wildfire.
Ethugai (Second-letter Rhyming)
“Vandavaal ellaam / Thandavaalam yeruchu”
The second letter consonant sound ('nd' / 'ந்த') in 'Vandavaal' and 'Thandavaalam' matches, producing classical Tamil rhythmic harmony.
Iyaipu (End Rhyming)
“Enai aalum thaai engae / Unai kaanaa naan ingae”
The end words 'engae' and 'ingae' rhyme, enhancing the poetic symmetry of the melancholy chorus.

Trivia
The film 'Agent Kannayiram' (2022) starring Santhanam is the official Tamil remake of the 2019 Telugu comedy-thriller 'Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya'. Composer Yuvan Shankar Raja creatively blended emotional folk/maternal lamentations with urban hip-hop rap (featuring MC Sanaa) to reflect the lead character's dual nature: a grieving son and an eccentric private investigator.
