அட ஊரெல்லாம்
இவன் முரட்டு காளை
ஒரு பச்சை பாலகன்போல
Hey, to the whole town
He is a fierce wild bull
But in front of me
He is like an innocent young child
அட நாடெல்லாம்
பிடிவாதக்காரன்
அவனை வந்து பாரு
என் வீட்டில் கன்னுகுட்டி போல
Hey, to the entire country
He is a stubborn man
But come and look at him
In my house, he is like a little calf
ஓஹ் பாக்க தான் பாறை
உள்ளேயோ வேற
கல்லு போல் உள்ள ஆளுக்குள்ள உள்ள
கடவுளை பார்த்தது நான் தானே
Oh, to look at, he is like a rock
Inside, he is entirely different
Inside the man who seems like stone
I am the only one who saw a god
சூடான தீ கங்கு மாதிரி இருப்பானே
என் சாமி
லேசான பூம் பஞ்சு மாதிரி பட்சப்புள்ள
என் சாமி
He remains like a hot burning ember
My lord
Yet like light flower-soft cotton, he is a tender child
My lord
முனங்கல் :
……………..
Standing with eyes turned red while speaking
The town knows only his anger
The moisture and tenderness in his eyes
Only I get to know it
ஓஹ் கண்ணு செவக்க நின்னு பேசும்
கோவம் தான் ஊரு அறியும்
கண்ணுக்குள்ள உள்ள ஈரம்
எனக்கு மட்டும் தானே தெரியும்
Twirling his mustache with pride
The town knows his heroism
The loving smile beneath his mustache
Only I get to know it
மீசை முறுக்கும் ரோஷக்கார
வீரனை ஊரு அறியும்
மீசை அடியில் ஆசை சிரிப்பு
எனக்கு மட்டும் தானே தெரியும்
Like a tiger in the jungle
With a heavy pounding stride
The town knows his chasing nature
In a soft, trembling voice
Placing his head on my lap
Only this Sreevalli knows his melting heart
காட்டுல புலியா
தட தட தட தட
தொரத்துற குணம் தான் ஊர் அறியும்
தழு தழு குரலில்
தல வச்சு மடியில்
உறங்குற குணமும் இந்த ஸ்ரீ வள்ளிக்கு தெரியும்
He remains like a hot burning ember
My lord
Yet like light flower-soft cotton, he is a tender child
My lord
சூடான தீ கங்கு மாதிரி இருப்பானே
என் சாமி
லேசான பூம் பஞ்சு மாதிரி பட்சப்புள்ள
என் சாமி
Oh, like the great patron Paari
He generously gives everything to the town
Poor thing, asking for a tiny kiss
He begs and pleads with me
முனங்கல் :
……………..
Huge and complex tasks
He finishes discussing in a flash
Asking me to find the shirt he wears
He waits in front of me
ஓஹ் பாரிவள்லல் போல எதையும்
ஊருக்கே வாரி தருவான்
பாவம் சின்ன முத்தம் கேட்டு
என்கிட்டே கெஞ்சி கிடப்பான்
Any enemy appearing before him
My man takes on and finishes off
Seeing me as a daily auspicious omen
He steps out only after looking at me
பெரிய பெரிய வேலையெல்லாம்
சட்டுனு பேசி முடிப்பான்
போடும் சட்டை தேடச் சொல்லி
என் முன்னே காத்து கிடப்பான்
He remains like a hot burning ember
My lord
If any woman gets a husband like this
She is a queen
எதுறுல தெரியும் எதிரியை எல்லாம்
எதிர்த்தே முடிக்கும் என் ஆளு
எதுறுல தினமும் நான் வரும் சகுனம்
பார்த்தே எங்கேயும் பொறப்படுவான்
சூடான தீ கங்கு மாதிரி இருப்பானே
என் சாமி
இதுபோல புருஷன் இருந்தா எந்த பொண்ணும்
மஹாராணி

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from Pushpa 2: The Rule offers an intimate look into the relationship between Sreevalli and Pushpa Raj from the heroine's perspective. To the rest of the world, Pushpa is a dangerous, hot-tempered hero, a stubborn force, and a fierce wild bull who takes down any enemy in his path. However, Sreevalli reveals that behind his rough and stony exterior lies a gentle, innocent child and a loving soul. She contrasts how the world views his wrath and pride with how he behaves in private—resting his head on her lap, begging for a kiss, and waiting for her to find his clothes. The song beautifully captures the idea that while Pushpa is a king to his people, Sreevalli's devotion and unique place in his heart make her a queen.
