I wanna be with you
But baby you don’t know it
And when i look into your eyes
I wanna show it
Girl i just wanna tell you
How i feel
And i know that
We can be something real
So baby give us a chance
Maybe you will see
I’m the king to your queen
Yeah girl you’ve got everything that i need
You got me dreaming
About what we could be
But you don’t no even know
So take my hand and we can go
Where ever you wanna go
Girl you’re one of a kind
Why can’t i just get you out of my mind
Being that beautiful should be a crime
You can be my jasmine,
And i’mma be aladdin
And we can see what happening

Slow down, slow down...
Even if I think about it calmly,
Without stopping, without stopping...
Even if I think while rushing without a pause,
I am the noble man you are searching for...
The king who will hold you tenderly like a flower...
The groom who rests in your lap...
That is how it truly feels to me...
{Senthooran (radiant beloved)...
I have come to be with you,
Senthooran...
Bright as a flame lily,
your companion...
Taking all five arrows
of the god of love,
I release them together into the breeze} (2)
I wanna be with you,
But baby, you don't know it,
And when I look into your eyes,
I wanna show it.
Girl, I just wanna tell you
How I feel,
And I know that
We can be something real.
So baby, give us a chance,
Maybe you will see,
I'm the king to your queen.
Yeah girl, you've got everything that I need.
You've got me dreaming
About what we could be,
But you don't, you don't even know.
So take my hand and we can go
Wherever you wanna go.
Girl, you're one of a kind,
Why can't I just get you out of my mind?
Being that beautiful should be a crime.
You can be my Jasmine,
And I'ma be Aladdin,
And we can see what's happening.
Holding you close as we walk,
that is how I want to go.
Interlocking our fingers,
that is how I want to talk.
When I wake up in the morning...
I want you..
When sleep comes calling..
I want your shoulder..
If you grant me the blessing
of never being parted,
that alone is enough...
{Senthooran (radiant beloved)...
I have come to be with you,
Senthooran...
Bright as a flame lily,
your companion...
Taking all five arrows
of the god of love,
I release them together into the breeze} (2)

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Senthooran from the film Bogan is a romantic ballad in which the male protagonist passionately conveys his devotion to his beloved. He reflects on how, whether thinking calmly or impulsively, he realizes he is destined to be her partner and protector. The lyrics combine classical Tamil poetic imagery—such as Cupid's five floral arrows and the vibrant Sengaandhal (glory lily) flower—with modern urban English verses, depicting a deep desire for lifelong companionship, warmth, and togetherness.

Nidha nidha / Nidhanamaaga yositthalum

You can be my jasmine, And i’mma be aladdin
