ஓ நிலா நிலா
பறந்து வாயேன் உலகினை
மறந்து வாயேன் அழகினை
நெருங்கி வாயேன்
அலை அலையாய்
Oh moon, come flying by
Forgetting the world, come by
Getting close to beauty, come like waves...
தொடாமலே
அணைக்குறானே தடால்
என இழுக்கிறானே
விடாமலே துரத்துறானே
அடாவடியா
He embraces me without even touching
He pulls me suddenly with force
He chases me relentlessly, what a ruffian!
நான் ஒரு தல
ராவண புள்ள உன்னை
மணந்திட உடைக்கவா
வில்ல குருங்கடல் போல
குதிக்குது ஆசை குளிக்கலாம்
வா மெல்ல
I am a single-headed Ravana lad
To marry you, haven't I broken the bow?
Desire leaps like a small sea
Come slowly, let's take a dip
என் இடுப்புல
குலுங்குது சாவி அத
வெடக்குன்னு எடுக்கிற
பாவி கைகளை தொட்டு
கசமுசா செஞ்சா கத்திடுவேன்
கூவி
The key is jingling at my waist
And you snap it away, you sinner
If you touch my hands and do mischief
I will scream out loud!

திருடுறானே உயிரினை
நெருடுறானே சுகம் சுகமா
He caresses my youthfulness
He steals my heart away
He touches my soul
So pleasantly, so sweetly
ஓ தளிர் என
இருக்குறாளே பளீர்
என சிரிக்குறாளே
சுளீர் என முறைக்குறாளே
அழகழகாய்
Oh she feels as soft as a tender leaf
She laughs brightly and brilliantly
She stares sharply with annoyance
So beautifully...
உன் மனக்கடி
வண்டி மீது நான்
மெனக்கெட்டு ஏறும்
போது கட கட வென்று
தட தட வென்று இழுத்தவன்
நீதானே
Upon your wedding cart
When I go out of my way to climb
With a rattling sound and a heavy thud
You are the one who pulled me
நான் சடுகுடு
ஆடும் போது நீ தொடுகிற
எல்லைக் கோடு விடு விடு
என்று பட பட வென்று
பறந்தவள் நீ தானே
When I play Kabaddi with you
You are the boundary line I touch
Rapidly and fluttering with excitement
You are the one who flew away

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Rangola' (often titled 'Rangola Hola') is a high-energy, playful duet from the blockbuster film Ghajini (2005), composed by Harris Jayaraj and penned by lyricist Kabilan. The song captures a flirtatious banter between two lovers, using colorful metaphors of Rangoli patterns, vibrant hues, and playful challenges to celebrate their blossoming romance and physical chemistry.

Metaphor
“Unnai muththam ittu otti konda / Vannam naan thaano”
Comparing oneself to the vibrant color attached to the partner after an intimate kiss ('Vannam naan thaano').

“Thodamalae anaikuranae / Thadaal ena ilukiranae”

Trivia
Although Ghajini (2005) is best known for its chartbusters like 'Suttum Vizhi' and 'Oru Kili', 'Rangola' serves as a vibrant energetic track rendered by Shankar Mahadevan and Sujatha Mohan. The soundtrack album went on to become one of the highest-selling Tamil albums of 2005.
