| Raasa raasa | King, my king |
| Kitta vaayen raasa | Come near me, my king |
| Un pollaadha siripula | In your wicked smile |

| Aanenae oru dhinusa | Became something different |
| Male | |
| Rosaa rosaa | Rose, my rose |
| Konja vaayen rosaa | Come cuddle me, my rose |
| Un kannaadi iduppula | In your glass-like waist |

| Kandene onna perusa | I saw you as something grand |
| Female | |
| Saamiya ullaara poondhu | Entering inside like a deity |
| Sanda yen nee podura? | Why do you pick a fight? |
| Radio illaama kooda | Even without a radio |
| Nenjukulla paateduththu | Taking out a song inside the heart |
| Yen paadura | Why do you sing? |

| Kannakatti kaattula thaan nippaattura | You leave me blindfolded in a forest |
| Mallaandhu naa pogaiyila | As I lie on my back |

ராசா ராசா
கிட்டா வயன் ராசா
உன் பொல்லாத சிரிப்புல
பூவான பயபுள்ள
ஆனேனே ஒரு தினுசா
King, my king
Come near me, my king
In your wicked smile
This flower-like guy
Became something different
ரோசா ரோசா
கொஞ்ச வாயேன் ரோசா
உன் கண்ணாடி இடுப்புல
காட்டேரி தெரிஞ்சிட
கண்டேனே ஒன்னா பெருசா
Rose, my rose
Come cuddle me, my rose
In your glass-like waist
A wild spirit visible
I saw you as something grand
சாமியா உள்ளாற பூந்து
சண்டை ஏன் நீ போடுற
ரேடியோ இல்லாம கூட
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள பாட்டெடுத்து
ஏன் பாடுற
Entering inside like a deity
Why do you pick a fight?
Even without a radio
Taking out a song inside the heart
Why do you sing?
கண்ணைக்கட்டி காட்டுக்குள்ள தான் நிப்பாட்டுற
மல்லாந்து நா போகையில
அங்க இங்க தொட்டெடுத்து சூடேத்துற
You leave me blindfolded in a forest
As I lie on my back
Touching here and there, you heat things up
கோவம் ஏத்துண ..போறபோக்குல
காதல் பூத்தது ..சர்ச் -ரோட்டுல
என் மச்சக்கன்னி வந்தே நிக்க
மூடாகி போகும் மூணாம் பிறை
நட்சத்திரம் அத்தனையும்
ரங்கோலி போடும் நீயும் வர
Anger rose... in passing
Love bloomed... on Church Road
As my mole-marked beauty comes and stands
The crescent moon gets moody and hides
All the stars
Draw rangoli patterns as you arrive
ஒனக்கு நா பொண்டாட்டி டா
இருக்கணும் கண்ட்ரோலு ல
அடியேதும் வாங்காமலே
சொல் பேச்சு நீகேட்டு
I am your wife, man
You must stay in control
Without getting beaten up
Listening to my words
You must live in my lap
ஊதா காதுல ஊசி ஏத்துற
ஆச பேச்சுல ஆழம் காட்டுற
You insert a needle in the chilly wind
In your desire-filled talk, you show depth
Female: On your body like a Mancala board
You throw crackers at me
In the speed of covering up
Why do you drop like an anchor?
Male: Without any understanding, you
Suddenly bloom like a flower
பல்லாங்குழி தேகத்துல
பட்டாச தூக்கி நீ வீசுற
போத்தி விடும் வேகத்துல
நங்கூரமாட்டும் ஏன் பாயுற
Without staying still
Front and back
You conduct an investigation
விவரமே இல்லாம நீ
வெடுக்குன்னு பூ பூக்குற
King, my king
Come near me, my king
Male: Rose, my rose
Come cuddle me, my rose
அடங்கியே நிக்காமலே
முன்னாலும் பின்னாலும்
ஆராய்ச்சி நடத்துற
In your glass-like waist a wild spirit
Was seen, and I saw you as something grand
Female: Entering inside like a deity
Why do you pick a fight?
Even without a radio
Taking out a song inside the heart
Why do you sing?
ராசா ராசா
கிட்டா வயன் ராசா
ரோசா ரோசா
கொஞ்ச வாயேன் ரோசா
You leave me blindfolded in a forest
As I lie on my back
Touching here and there, you heat things up
உன் கண்ணாடி இடுப்புல
காட்டேரி தெரிஞ்சிட
கண்டேனே ஒன்னா பெருசா

மல்லாந்து நா போகையில
அங்க இங்க தொட்டெடுத்து சூடேத்துற
Raasa raasa
King, my king
Kitta vaayen raasa
Come near me, my king
Un pollaadha siripula
In your wicked smile
Poovaana payapulla
This flower-like guy
Aanenae oru dhinusa
Became something different
Rosaa rosaa
Rose, my rose
Konja vaayen rosaa
Come cuddle me, my rose
Un kannaadi iduppula
In your glass-like waist
Kaatteri therinjida
A wild spirit visible
Kandene onna perusa
I saw you as something grand
Saamiya ullaara poondhu
Entering inside like a deity
Sanda yen nee podura?
Why do you pick a fight?
Radio illaama kooda
