Milk... A smile as pure as milk,
Honey... A nature as sweet as honey,

Circling through outer space,
O blossom flying kites on the white moon!
I will be right here with you.
Good people will face no sorrow,
With me here, there is nothing to fear!

Whoever wins here,
Cheer and congratulate them!
Let there be no discrimination,
Let there be no arguments,
Just share warm smiles!
Righteousness and justice—
Stand up and protect them!
Underneath a coat of gold,
There may be brass—learn to know the difference!
Playing games like little rabbits,
Singing melodies like sweet cuckoos!

The wide open sky
Will never run dry.
Hearts brimming with love

Anger and restless desire
Do not belong in life.
A mother hen stepping on her chicks
Never causes them harm.
As golden beetles strum their tunes,
And every flower nods its head,

To a brand-new world!

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
Poo Paal Thaen Vaan from Raja Chinna Roja (1989) is an uplifting and pedagogical song sung by Rajinikanth's character to a group of children. Using soft, nature-inspired similes—comparing a child's heart to a flower, a smile to pure milk, character to honey, and infinite potential to the sky—the protagonist reassures the children that good moral standing brings security and joy.
