வாராய் ஆருயிர் ராதா
என் வாழ்வின் செல்வம் வேறுண்டோ
உயர் வைர மாளிகை நீயன்றோ
Come, my precious soul Radha
Is there any other wealth in my life?
Aren't you a grand diamond palace?
போதும் போதும் கிருஷ்ணா
நீ பொல்லாத மாயன் அல்லவோ
இங்கு நில்லாமல் அங்கு செல்லுவீர்
Enough, enough, Krishna
Aren't you a wicked illusionist?
Without staying here, you keep going over there
கோபிமார் உன் அழகில்லை பாராய்
கோரினேன் என் கண்ணே நீ வாராய்
Look, the Gopis do not match your beauty
I said, my darling, come to me
கோபிமார் உன் அழகில்லை பாராய்
கோரினேன் என் கண்ணே நீ வாராய்
கோபமேனோ குறையே தீராய்
தாப மீறுதே இன்பமே தாராய்.....
Look, the Gopis do not match your beauty
I said, my darling, come to me
Why this anger? Resolve my grievances
Longing overflows, grant me bliss
இதயம் ஒரு நிலை இல்லாததேனோ
யாரைக் கண்டும் இதே நிலைதானோ
Why is your heart so fickle and unsteady?
Is this same state present upon seeing anyone?
Will I still foolishly trust you anymore?
Will I get tricked again in your deceptive net?
இதயம் ஒரு நிலை இல்லாததேனோ
யாரைக் கண்டும் இதே நிலைதானோ
இனியும் நானே உன்னை நம்புவேனோ
ஏய்க்கும் வலைதனில் ஏமாறுவேனோ....
Come, my precious soul Radha
Is there any other wealth in my life?
Aren't you a grand diamond palace?
வாராய் ஆருயிர் ராதா
என் வாழ்வின் செல்வம் வேறுண்டோ
உயர் வைர மாளிகை நீயன்றோ
Enough, enough, Krishna
Aren't you a wicked illusionist?
Without staying here, you keep going over there
போதும் போதும் கிருஷ்ணா
நீ பொல்லாத மாயன் அல்லவோ
இங்கு நில்லாமல் அங்கு செல்லுவீர்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This classic duet depicts a playful romantic banter between Lord Krishna and Radha. Krishna passionately calls out to Radha, praising her unmatched beauty above all the Gopis and elevating her status as the supreme wealth and diamond palace of his life. He pleads with her to shed her anger and grant him love. Radha, on the other hand, responds with playful skepticism, calling him a cunning magician whose heart is fickle and untrustworthy. She teasingly questions his loyalty and resists falling into his trap, creating a charming contrast between romantic devotion and playful banter.

Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uruvagaim)
“Uyar vaira maaligai neeyandro”
Radha is metaphorically praised as 'vaira maaligai' (a diamond palace) and 'en vaazhvin selvam' (the wealth of my life), expressing her priceless worth to Krishna.
Epizeuxis / Repetition (Adukku Thodhar)
“Podhum podhum krishna”
The word 'Podhum' (enough) is repeated consecutively to emphasize Radha's playful annoyance and feigned resistance.
Monai / Alliteration
“Kobam yeno kuraiyae theeraai”
Repetition of the 'K' sound in 'Kobam' and 'kuraiyae' creates a melodic rhythmic flow.
Iyaibu / Rhyming
“Koorinen en kannae nee vaaraai”
End rhymes such as 'paaraai' and 'vaaraai', as well as 'theeraai' and 'thaaraai', add musicality to the dialogue.
