| Ragasiyama kannai thirudipputtaa… | She secretly stole my eyes... |
| Rayilu nenja thadam purattiputtaa… | She derailed my train-like heart... |

ரகசியமா கண்ண திருடிப்புட்டா…
ரயிலு நெஞ்ச தடம் புரட்டிப்புட்டா…
இவகூட தான் இனி வாழ்க்கையின்னு
உசிருக்குள்ள உளி அடிச்சுப்புட்டா…
She secretly stole my eyes...
She derailed my train-like heart...
Determining that my future life is with her,
She carved it with a chisel inside my soul...
கண்ணு உடுக்கையா
என்னை அடிக்குதே…
உசுரெடுக்குதே…
Her eyes are like a pellet drum
Beating against me...
Sucking the life out of me...
கத்தி வச்சு மெரட்டுது
கண்டபடி அதட்டுது…
களவாட வந்த கண்ணு
கரும்பாத்தான் இனிக்குது…
Threatening me holding a knife,
Scolding me indiscriminately...
The eyes that came to rob me,
Are as sweet as sugarcane...
ரகசியமா கண்ண திருடிப்புட்டா…
ரயிலு நெஞ்ச தடம் புரட்டிப்புட்டா…
இவகூட தான் இனி வாழ்க்கையின்னு
உசிருக்குள்ள உளி அடிச்சுப்புட்டா…
She secretly stole my eyes...
She derailed my train-like heart...
Determining that my future life is with her,
She carved it with a chisel inside my soul...
மொதமொத பார்த்த கெறக்கத்துல
சடக்குன்னு மூச்சு முறிஞ்சிறுச்சு…
மறுபடி பார்த்த நிமிஷத்துல
மண்ட ஓடு பூத்து குலுங்கிடுச்சு…
In the dizziness of seeing her for the very first time,
My breath snapped instantly...
The moment I looked at her once again,
My skull bloomed and vibrated with excitement...
சேவல் ஒண்ணு நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள
கூவி சொல்லுதவ பேர…
காதல் எனும் ஊரில் மட்டும்
சாமி இழுக்குத்து தேர…
A rooster inside my chest
Crows her name aloud...
Only in the town called Love,
Common men get to pull the divine chariot...
இதயத்த திருடுற
இளைஞர்கள் சங்கத்துல இருந்தும்
நான் இதயத்த தொலைச்சிட்டேன்
அவகிட்ட…
In the association of young men
Who go around stealing hearts,
Even while being a part of it,
I lost my heart to her...
ரகசியமா கண்ண திருடிப்புட்டா…
ரயிலு நெஞ்ச தடம் புரட்டிப்புட்டா…
இவகூட தான் இனி வாழ்க்கையின்னு
உசிருக்குள்ள உளி அடிச்சுப்புட்டா…
She secretly stole my eyes...
She derailed my train-like heart...
Determining that my future life is with her,
She carved it with a chisel inside my soul...
கொஞ்சி கொஞ்சி பேசி நெஞ்ச இழுக்கும்
இரனூறு மாச குழந்தை அவ…
அணு உலை பார்த்து அசந்து நிக்கும்
அஞ்சு லட்சம் வோல்டு பவர் அவ…
Luring my heart with cute baby talk,
She is a two-hundred-month-old child...
Making even a nuclear reactor stand amazed,
She is five hundred thousand volts of power...
காதல் சொல்ல போகும் போது
யானை பலம் வந்து சேரும்…
ஆனா… அவ ஓரபார்வ
பார்க்க பொசுக்குன்னு சாயும்
When going to confess love,
The strength of an elephant builds up...
But when she casts a single side glance,
It instantly crumbles away...
இதயத்த திருடுற
இளைஞர்கள் சங்கத்துல இருந்தும்
நான் இதயத்த தொலைச்சிட்டேன்
அவகிட்ட…
In the association of young men
Who go around stealing hearts,
Even while being a part of it,
I lost my heart to her...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Ragasiyama' from Kabadi Bro (2023) is a vibrant romantic track expressing the overwhelming feeling of falling head-over-heels in love. The protagonist describes how the heroine's presence mesmerizes him, derailing his peaceful mind like a train running off its tracks, and carving her place into his very soul. Through lively Tamil colloquialisms, he conveys his helplessness against her charms—hyperbolically describing her as a 500,000-volt power surge and a child of 200 months old who commands his entire existence. The lyrics playfully contrast the hero's tough exterior with his complete surrender to her simple side glances, portraying love as an irresistible force that completely steals away one's heart and mind.

Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Rayilu nenja thadam purattiputtaa…”
'Rayilu nenja' compares the heart's rhythm and momentum directly to a moving train that gets derailed by love.
Simile (Uvamai)
“Karumbaathan inikkudhu…”
'Karumbaathan inikkudhu' compares the sweet sensation caused by her stealing eyes to the sweetness of sugarcane.
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navitchi)
“Anju lacham voltu poweru ava…”
'Anju lacham voltu poweru ava' uses grand exaggeration, describing her irresistible aura as five hundred thousand volts of electric power that stuns even a nuclear reactor.
Monai (Alliteration)
“Idhayatha thirudura / Ilainjarkal sangathula / Irundhum naan idhayatha”
Repetition of the initial letter 'I' in consecutive lines ('Idhayatha', 'Ilainjarkal', 'Irundhum') creates a rhythmic phonetic harmony.
