ராஜாத்தி ராஜா இல்ல
ஆனாலும் அடங்கிட மாட்டோம்
ராக்கோழி நாங்க இல்ல
ஆனாலும் தூங்கிட மாட்டோம்
We are not kings of kings,
Yet we will not be subdued.
We are not night owls,
Yet we will not sleep.
அட மீசை வந்தா
நெஞ்சில் ஆசை வரும்
இந்த இளமைக்கு தடை ஏதடா
When a mustache grows,
Desire enters the heart.
What obstacle can stop this youth?
When you play
Stay so sweet
Life is firm
The people you meet
Personality alone
Latch up the room
Whether ones gonna make your heart
Go boom boom
Livin it
While smooth and kicking
The girls go by and the
Clock gets tickle
See the king in
And the world are markings
Come on lets get this party rocking
party rocking party rocking
We are not kings of kings,
Yet we will not be subdued.
No we won't, no we won't.
ராஜாத்தி ராஜா இல்ல
ஆனாலும் அடங்கிட மாட்டோம்
மாட்டோம் மாட்டோம்
At the corner petty shop on the street,
This is the age to smoke cigarettes,
Every day sitting on low walls,
The heart loves to check out girls.
Chorus: Oh yeah
where’s the beat
And groove to the pearls now
She is the tempo
Like catching rose now
We the guys gonna rock and roll now
rock now roll now
Every day, bikes race on ECR,
And once evening arrives, beer flows.
Conversations flow without track of time,
At the sight of a pretty girl, the heart races.
Eyes glance around to switch targets,
After talking to them, feet run away!
Let this day alone
Be in our hands,
Ah, let us not worry about yesterday or tomorrow!
தெருமுனை பெட்டி கடையில்
தம் அடிக்கும் வயசு
தினம் தினம் குட்டி சுவரில்
சைட் அடிக்கும் மனசு
குழு :
ஓ யெஹ்
We are not kings of kings,
Yet we will not be subdued.
We are not night owls,
Yet we will not sleep.
தினம் ஈசிஆர்ல பைக் ஓடும்
அட ஈவினிங் ஆனதும் பீர் ஓடும்
நேரம் காலம் இன்றி பேச்சோடும்...ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்
ஒரு பிகுற பார்த்ததும் நெஞ்சோடும்
அட மத்து போடவே கண்ணோடும்
பேசி பார்த்த பின்னால் கால் ஓடும்....ம்ம்ம்ம்
இந்த நாள் மட்டும்
கையில் இருக்கட்டும்
அட நேற்று நாளை கவலை வேண்டாமே...ஏ
[Instrumental Break]
ராஜாத்தி ராஜா இல்ல
ஆனாலும் அடங்கிட மாட்டோம்
ராக்கோழி நாங்க இல்ல
ஆனாலும் தூங்கிட மாட்டோம்
Jumping out through the window,
We will fly out onto the streets.
Holding a lightning-like slender waist in hand,
We yearn to weave a garland.
ஜன்னல் விட்டு தாண்டி குதித்து
வீதியிலே பறப்போம்
மின்னல் இடை கையில் பிடித்து
மாலை கட்ட துடிப்போம்
Hey, song and dance
Are not wrong.
Once you cross this age,
There is no feeling left.
If you stay within boundaries,
There is no mistake made.
அட ஆட்ட பாட்டங்கள்
தவறில்லை
இந்த வயதை தாண்டினால்
வலி இல்லை
எல்லை கோட்டில் நின்றால்
பிழை இல்லை
In the fuse wire of an atom bomb,
There is no thread of laughter,
Just like that, there is no fear in our hearts.
Victory is not very far away.
அணுகுண்டின் நாற்றில்
சிறிதில்லை
அதை போல நெஞ்சில் பயம் இல்லை
வெற்றி ஒன்றும் ரொம்ப தொலைவில்லை
Just by holding an umbrella,
Can you hide the rain?
To lock up our youth,
There is no lock at all!
குடை பிடிப்பதால்
மழை மறையுமா
நம் வயதை பூட்ட
பூட்டே இங்கில்லை....
We are not kings of kings,
Yet we will not be subdued.
We are not night owls,
Yet we will not sleep.
ராஜாத்தி ராஜா இல்ல
ஆனாலும் அடங்கிட மாட்டோம்
ராக்கோழி நாங்க இல்ல
ஆனாலும் தூங்கிட மாட்டோம்
When a mustache grows,
Desire enters the heart.
For this youth,
What obstacle is there? ...aaa...aaa...aaa...
அட மீசை வந்தா
நெஞ்சில் ஆசை வரும்
இந்த இளமைக்கு
தடை ஏதடா....ஆஅ.....ஆஅ....ஆஅ....
Here comes young man
Snow man
Super man
Lightning man
Lock and key man
Party man
Colors of the rainbow
VIBGYOR
Living it
While smooth and kicking
The girls go by and the
Clock gets tickle
See the king in
And the world are markings
Come on lets get this party rocking

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This high-energy youth anthem from the 2009 movie 'Solla Solla Inikkum', written by lyricist Na. Muthu Kumar, celebrates the carefree spirit, independence, and enthusiasm of youth. The lyrics depict the everyday lifestyle of young men—hanging out at street corners ('kutti chuvaru'), riding bikes along Chennai's East Coast Road (ECR), admiring girls, and living entirely in the present without dwelling on yesterday's regrets or tomorrow's worries. The song argues that youth is a passing phase that should be experienced without oppressive restrictions. Through bold imagery, it conveys that true youth cannot be locked down or contained, urging listeners to shed fear and embrace life joyfully because victory and freedom belong to those who live boldly.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Monorime / End Rhyme (Iyaibu)
“Thavarillai / Vali illai / Pizhai illai / bayam illai”
The repetitive ending word 'illai' across consecutive lines creates an echoing, rhythmic pattern emphasizing lack of fear or restriction.
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Minnal idai kaiyil pidithu”
Describing a slender waist as 'minnal' (lightning) metaphorically captures striking physical beauty.
Rhetorical Question
“Kudai pidippathaal / Mazhai maraiyuma”
The lyricist asks if an umbrella can conceal rain to state that youth's natural urge cannot be suppressed by rules.
Initial Rhyme / Alliteration (Moonaai)
“Raajathi raaja illa / Raakkozhi naanga illa”
Matching opening consonants in lines like 'Raajathi raaja' and 'Raakkozhi naanga' establishes a rhythmic flow.

Trivia
The film 'Solla Solla Inikkum' (2009) was directed by G. M. Kumar and featured music composed by Bharadwaj. Lyricist Na. Muthu Kumar incorporated authentic local Chennai slang and youth culture references, such as 'kutti chuvaru' (low hangout walls) and 'ECR' (East Coast Road), which made the track popular among college students upon release.
