| Raakkatchi raakkatchi | Night spectacle, night spectacle |
| On azhaga oru thadava | If I see your beauty just once |
| Paathaale parappaene thoongamale | I would fly without sleeping |
| Pookkatchi pookkatchi | Flower spectacle, flower spectacle |
| Pol unadhu asaivugala | Like your delicate movements |
| Kekkama rasippaene oyaamale | I will admire silently without stopping |
| Male | |
| Karikkodum kooda | Even a simple line of charcoal |
| Nee paartha velayil | The moment you glanced at it |
| Color kolamaache pesama | Silently turned into a colorful rangoli pattern |
| Jamukkaalam pola | Like a unrolling carpet mat |
| On pera kettadhum | Upon hearing your name |
| Virinjene naane velangaama | I unrolled myself inexplicably |
| Male | |
| Neethaane neethaane | You alone, you alone |
| Kai veesum neer veelchi neethaane | You are indeed a waving waterfall |
| Neethaane neethaane | You alone, you alone |
| Neengaadha or saatchi neethaane | You are indeed an everlasting witness |

ராக்காட்சி ராக்காட்சி
உன் அழக ஒரு தடவை
பார்த்தாலே பறப்பேனே தூங்காமலே
பூக்காட்சி பூக்காட்சி
போல் உனது அசைவுகள
கேக்காம ரசிப்பேனே ஓயாமலே
Night spectacle, night spectacle
If I see your beauty just once
I would fly without sleeping
Flower spectacle, flower spectacle
Like your delicate movements
I will admire silently without stopping
கரிக்கோலும் கூட
நீ பார்த்த வேலையில்
கலர் கோலமாச்சே பேசாம
ஜமுக்காளம் போல
உன் பேர கேட்டதும்
விரிஞ்சேனே நானே வெளங்காம
Even a simple line of charcoal
The moment you glanced at it
Silently turned into a colorful rangoli pattern
Like a unrolling carpet mat
Upon hearing your name
I unrolled myself inexplicably
நீதானே.....நீதானே.....
கை வீசும் நீர் வீழ்ச்சி நீதானே
நீதானே.....நீதானே....
நீங்காத ஓர் சாட்சி நீதானே
You alone, you alone
You are indeed a waving waterfall
You alone, you alone
You are indeed an everlasting witness
ராக்காட்சி ராக்காட்சி
உன் அழக ஒரு தடவை
பார்த்தாலே பறப்பேனே தூங்காமலே
பூக்காட்சி பூக்காட்சி
போல் உனது அசைவுகள
கேக்காம ரசிப்பேனே ஓயாமலே
Night spectacle, night spectacle
If I see your beauty just once
I would fly without sleeping
Flower spectacle, flower spectacle
Like your delicate movements
I will admire silently without stopping
எனக்காக யாரோ
சாமிய வேண்ட
வரம் போல வாய்த்த நீ
வானவில் தோழி
As if someone prayed to God
On my behalf
You arrived like a blessed boon
Rainbow friend
அளவான பேச்சில்
ஆயிரம் கோடி
சுகம் சேர்த்து போகும் நீ
காதலின் தூளி
In your measured, sweet talk
Thousands of crores
Of joy you gather and bring; you are
The cradle of love
ஒருவரையும் உறவு என
உணராத நானேன்
உனை புகழ துணிந்தேனோ
நடு முதுகில் ஒலி பரவ
உனை பேசி பேசி
இரவு பகல் மறந்தேனோ
Anyone as my own relative
I who never felt before
How did I dare to praise you so?
As light spreads across my spine
Talking endlessly about you
Did I forget the difference between night and day?
ஏதேதோ ஆசை
தோன்றுதே பெண்னே
ஏனோ ஏனோ ஏனோ.....
Various newfound desires
Are arising, my dear girl
Why, oh why, oh why?
நீதானே.....நீதானே.....
கை வீசும் நீர் வீழ்ச்சி நீதானே
நீதானே.....நீதானே....
நீங்காத ஓர் சாட்சி நீதானே
You alone, you alone
You are indeed a waving waterfall
You alone, you alone
You are indeed an everlasting witness
ராக்காட்சி ராக்காட்சி
உன் அழக ஒரு தடவை
பார்த்தாலே பறப்பேனே தூங்காமலே
பூக்காட்சி பூக்காட்சி

விரிஞ்சேனே நானே வெளங்காம
Even a simple line of charcoal
The moment you glanced at it
Silently turned into a colorful rangoli pattern
Like a unrolling carpet mat
Upon hearing your name
I unrolled myself inexplicably
நீதானே.....நீதானே.....
கை வீசும் நீர் வீழ்ச்சி நீதானே
நீதானே.....நீதானே....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Raakkatchi is a soulful romantic track from the 2025 film Ezhumalai, composed by D. Imman and rendered by Sid Sriram. The song portrays a protagonist utterly captivated by the grace and presence of his beloved. He compares her beauty to night-time spectacles and blossoming flowers, expressing how even her subtle glance can turn mundane things into vibrant art. Deeply fascinated by her arrival in his life—which feels like an answered prayer—he finds himself losing track of time, day, and night, completely immersed in his devotion and love for her.
