Aiya ae aiya aiya aiya

Raise your hand, join your heart, now speak up
Radhima, hey Radhima
Sparks flew near my heart
Radhima, hey Radhima
Does love burn like this?
Hey Radhima, hey Radhima
Are you leaving me and going away? Wait
Hey Radhima, my Radhima
Hey girl, what is to become of me?
Did you let go of my hand?
Are you holding me like you've abandoned me?
Did you push me away?
Where do you even respect my sorrow?
Did you watch?
Are you enjoying the yearning I suffer?
You killed me... you laughed till my heart shattered
Radhima, hey Radhima
Everything you did was a plot
Hey Radhima, hey Radhima
Can you treat me like this?
Radhima, hey Radhima
Everything you did was a plot
Hey Radhima, my Radhima
Can you treat me like this?
If I always compromise, will you like that?
What should I do for you to let get, closer to your heart?
The girl whose heart melted, did she turn away?
Did the little love kept cherished fall into the dust?
I am a guy of pure gold,
What else do you need beyond me?
I will take grand care of you,
Don't you know that, girl?
Hey, having loved beyond all limits,
Beyond all necessities for me
Even if you leave, I should keep smiling
It is written as destiny
I am a guy of pure gold,
What else is there beyond me for you?
I will take grand care of you,
Don't you know that, girl?
Having loved beyond all limits,
Beyond all necessities for me
Even if you go away, I should keep smiling
It is written as destiny
Ya Ali, Ya Ali, zhu
Ya Ali, Ya Ali, zhu
Ya Ali, Ya Ali, zhu
The heart said, zhu
Radhima, hey Radhima
Hey Radhima, hey Radhima...
Aah... aah...
Treating me like currency, she kept me close by
Like a blood relation, she held me tightly
To this guy who came yearning,
She kissed me that day, made me shout out loud
Today, without saying anything, she disappeared somewhere
Writing my dream, that day she drew it as scribbles
Making me wander in style, she made me roam like a fool
Oh girl, a total good-for-nothing
She will come herself, like a parrot that flew away
She will come in the dark, like a lost light
She will return with all that, as past arrogance
Oh no, like a fool!
He is a golden guy,
What do you have beyond him?
He will take grand care of you,
Don't you know that, girl?
Hey, having loved beyond all limits,
What need do you have?
If you leave, who am I,
Have you thought?
I am a guy of pure gold,
What else is there beyond me for you?
I will take grand care of you,
Don't you know that, girl?
Having loved beyond all limits,
Beyond all necessities for me
Even if you kill me, I should keep smiling
It is written as destiny
Radhima, O Radhima
Raise your hand, join your heart, now speak up
I am a guy of pure gold
I will take grand care of you
Having loved beyond all limits
Even if you kill me, I should keep smiling, it is written so

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
'Radhimaa' is an energetic, romantic pop track where the protagonist expresses his intense, chaotic feelings of love, heartbreaks, and devotion towards his beloved, Radhima. He pleads with her while reminiscing about the intimacy they shared, feeling bewildered by her sudden distance and playful cruelty. He asserts his worth as a loyal, loving partner ('thangamaana paiyan' - golden guy) who is ready to smile through pain even if she abandons or breaks his heart. The song blends lighthearted youthfulness, contemporary slang, catchy scatting chorus refrains, and dramatic declarations of affection. It captures the modern heartbreak dynamic, swinging between affectionate banter, longing, and desperate affection.
