Chorus: Du ru da da... la la la la

In a town, beauty itself took form
as a girl who lived there.
Born to write the very rules of beauty,
she came into this world.
When you see the warm way she treats everyone,
it feels like you have known her for years.
There is pure affection in everything she does.
At first sight, she captures your heart.
At first sight, she captures your heart.
In a town, beauty itself took form
as a girl who lived there.
Born to write the very rules of beauty,
she came into this world.
She stretches lazily like a fresh green gem,
and shivers with delight like a grassy meadow.
When she talks, gesturing with her fingers,
it feels as though the breeze itself plays a veena (lute).
In the dimple of her cheek,
one could even plant little saplings.
In the dimple of her cheek,
Chorus: Beautifully,
Male: one could even plant little saplings,
Chorus: in so many varieties.
Male: A rare, special charm in her
overflows and overflows!
In a town, beauty, pure beauty...
In a town, beauty itself took form
as a girl who lived there, hey...
Born to write the very rules of beauty,
she came into this world...
Like a flower holding pollen,
a unique fragrance surrounds her.
In the neat pleats of her saree,
fan-shaped banana leaves seem to unfold.
The dark hair swaying on her shoulders
is like vast black-soil forests.
Whenever she walks past,
heads turn by reflex.
Whenever she walks past,
Chorus: Without fail,
Male: heads turn by reflex,
Chorus: toward her!
Male: What more can I say, what more can I say?
Language itself runs out of words to describe her.
No one knows she's a mystery
Shana nan naanaa
When you see the warm way she treats everyone,
Chorus: When you see it,
Male: it feels like you have known her for years.
Chorus: It feels that way!
Male: There is pure affection in everything she does.
At first sight, she captures your heart.
At the very first sight...
she captures your heart...

Poetic devices
Simile (Upamai)
“Pulveli polae silirppalae / Magarandham thaangum malar polae”
Uses the word 'polae' (like/as) to compare her shivering thrill to a breeze sweeping over grassland, and her natural scent to a pollen-laden flower.
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Karisal kaadugal”
Metaphorically compares her long, dark, wavy hair cascading over her shoulders to rich, dark black-soil forests.
Ethugai (Second Letter Rhyme)
“Oru ooril azhagae uruvai / Oruthi irundhalae”
The second letter 'ru' matches in 'Oru' and 'Oruthi', creating a pleasing Tamil poetic cadence.
Monai (First Letter Alliteration)
“Oru ooril azhagae uruvai / Oruthi irundhalae”
The opening vowel sound 'O' repeats at the beginning of 'Oru' and 'Oruthi'.
