Tell me, who is the man whose words bring pure bliss?
Even a little toddler will say, 'He is the Superstar!'
Tell me, tell me, who is the man whose breath is pure joy?
Without even being asked, the whole land says, 'He is our sweet Superstar!'
He is a man full of genuine warmth and love,
Who can ever be compared to him?
There are no words left to praise him.
O his dear friend, to sing your praise,
Brings such overflowing joy!
There can be no greater pride than this.
Oho... Tell me, who is the man whose words bring pure bliss?
Even a little toddler will say, 'He is the Superstar!'
Tell me, tell me, who is the man whose breath is pure joy?
Without even being asked, the whole land says, 'He is our sweet Superstar!'
...
Lord Shiva holds the sacred waters on his head to protect the world,
And so we revere him as God.
And this man who cares for every head on this earth,
Let us forever hold him close in our hearts.
Before lighting a lamp at God's feet
And offering our prayers,
We all seek his skilled hands first
And visit him every single day.
Trusting in the power of his hands,
He wins each day on life's calendar.
Wielding his tools with pride,
He stands tall on his own, our dear brother!
Doesn't the heavy burden of head and mind
Get eased and lightened by him?
In the way he trims this black gold (dark hair),
Isn't his fine art clearly seen?
Tell me, who is the man whose words bring pure bliss?
Even a little toddler will say, 'He is the Superstar!'
Tell me, tell me, who is the man whose breath is pure joy?
Without even being asked, the whole land says, 'He is our sweet Superstar!'
Looking at another person's growth
And genuinely feeling happy for them—
There is no one else like you in this world today.
When people entrust their heads to you,
Without bringing any harm to the head given to you,
You have mastered the art of shaping it neatly.
Styling grown hair into handsome charm,
You learned how to drive poverty away.
You work turning a pair of scissors into a ruler's scepter,
Lathering soap with honest labor,
You conquer life through your trade.
Every handsome face is a gift of your hands.
Your salon is a little kingdom where men gather.
Oh... Tell me, who is the man whose words bring pure bliss?
Even a little toddler will say, 'He is the Superstar!'
Tell me, tell me, who is the man whose breath is pure joy?
Without even being asked, the whole land says, 'He is our sweet Superstar!'
He is a man full of genuine warmth and love,
Who can ever be compared to him?
There are no words left to praise him.
O his dear friend, to sing your praise,
Brings such overflowing joy!
There can be no greater pride than this.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic song from the film 'Kuselan' serves a dual purpose: celebrating the towering charisma of Superstar Rajinikanth while simultaneously paying rich tributes to the humble, noble profession of a barber (represented by Pasupathy's character, Balu, who is a childhood friend of the Superstar). The lyrics elevate the barber's daily labor—sculpting hair, bringing confidence to faces, and earning a honest living through simple tools—comparing his scissors to a king's scepter and his shop to a kingdom. Simultaneously, the song highlights the deep, unpretentious bond of friendship that remains intact despite vast differences in status and wealth.

Trivia
