ராஜனே யுவராஜனே
உனைக் கண்டு உயிர் வந்தது
பூமியும் வந்து நின்றது
உனைக் கண்டுதான் சுழல்கின்றது
Oh King, oh Prince,
Life returned to me upon seeing you.
Male: The earth also came to a standstill,
And revolves only upon seeing you.
கண்ணா நீ தொட்ட இடம்
துடிக்கின்றது மின்னல் தெரிக்கின்றது
நெஞ்சு விம்மி விம்மி வெடிக்கின்றது
Oh lover, the spot you touched
Is throbbing, and lightning sparks out!
My heart swells and bursts with emotion!
உன் கையில்
ஏதோ வித்தை இருக்கின்றது
என்னை இழுக்கின்றது
என்னைத் தொட்டு தொட்டு
துவைக்கின்றது
In your hands,
There is some kind of magic skill,
That pulls me towards you,
And touching me again and again,
Washes over me completely.
கண்ணில் உயிர் வைத்து
காத்திருந்தேனே
கண்ணா கண்ணா நீ வா
Keeping my soul in my eyes,
I was waiting.
Oh lover, oh darling, come to me!
ராஜனே யுவராஜனே
உனைக் கண்டு உயிர் வந்தது
Oh King, oh Prince,
Life returned to me upon seeing you.
சுவாசக் காற்றைப் போல்
ஊனுக்குள் சென்று கலந்து போகிறேன்
உனது மார்பிலே
வீடு கட்டி வசிக்கப் போகிறேன்
Like the breath of air,
I enter deep into your flesh and merge.
Female: Upon your chest,
I am going to build a home and live.
காதல் தாகம்
என்னை வாட்டும் பொழுது
உன்னை உருக்கி குடிக்க
சொல்லும் மனது
When the thirst of love
Torments me,
To melt you and drink you,
My heart tells me.
வா மன்னவா
இதழ் தேன் கொள்ளவா
இது பூப் பூத்திடும்
நேரம் அல்லவா
Come, my king,
Shall I partake of the nectar of your lips?
Male: Is this not the time
When flowers bloom?
ராஜனே யுவராஜனே
உனைக் கண்டு உயிர் வந்தது
Oh King, oh Prince,
Life returned to me upon seeing you.

காற்றை நிறுத்தியே
அதன் முதுகில் ஏறிக் கொள்ளலாம்
நிலவை தாண்டியே
விண்வெளியில் பயணம் செய்யலாம்
By stopping the wind,
We can ride on its back!
Female: Crossing beyond the moon,
We can journey into deep space!
போகும் வழியில்
நிலவில் இறங்கி குளிப்போம்
விண்ணில் நின்று மண்ணை
கொஞ்சம் ரசிப்போம்
On the way,
We shall step down onto the moon and bathe,
Standing in the heavens,
We shall admire the earth a little.
வா நண்பனே
இன்று நீ வம்பனே
உன்னைப் பார்த்தால்
நான் பாதி கம்பனே...
Come, my friend,
Today you are playful and mischievous!
Male: Looking at you,
I become half a poet like Kamban!
ராஜனே யுவராஜனே
உனைக் கண்டு உயிர் வந்தது
பூமியும் வந்து நின்றது
உனைக் கண்டுதான் சுழல்கின்றது
Oh King, oh Prince,

காதல் நிலவுக்கு தேய்பிறை இல்லை
கண்ணே கண்ணே நீ வா
For the moon of love, there is no waning phase!
Oh darling, oh beloved, come to me!
ராஜனே யுவராஜனே
உனைக் கண்டு உயிர் வந்தது

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Rajane Yuvarajane' from the 1997 Tamil film Pagaivan is a romantic duet expressing intense passion and mutual devotion between two lovers. The lyrics highlight how love revives the soul and makes the world revolve around their intimate connection, using royal titles like 'Rajane Yuvarajane' as terms of endearment. Through imaginative cosmic metaphors—such as riding on the wind, traveling beyond space, and bathing on the moon—lyricist Vairamuthu captures the feeling of weightlessness and euphoria associated with true romance. The song balances sensory intimacy with grand, fantastical imagery.
