Don't push away the good fortune that came to you on her own,
Don't leap and snarl like an angry tiger!
Don't push away the good fortune that came to you on her own,
Don't leap and snarl like an angry tiger!
Leaving behind the ripe fruit in your hand,
and longing for the unripe one far away,
Leaving behind the ripe fruit in your hand,
and longing for the unripe one far away,
don't end up disappointed in the end!
Don't end up disappointed in the end!
Don't push away the good fortune that came to you on her own,
Don't leap and snarl like an angry tiger!
The stubborn pride of your youth hasn't faded yet,
you still don't truly understand the girl standing before you.
The stubborn pride of your youth hasn't faded yet,
you still don't truly understand the girl standing before you.
You get angry with a girl who speaks to you with a smile!
You get angry with a girl who speaks to you with a smile!
Your mind isn't clear, and that is why you keep hesitating!
Your mind isn't clear, and that is why you keep hesitating...
Don't push away the good fortune that came to you on her own,
Don't leap and snarl like an angry tiger!
You and I are a perfect match,
so why keep old sorrows in your heart anymore?
You and I are a perfect match,
so why keep old sorrows in your heart anymore?
In this rare moment we have found to be alone together,
In this rare moment we have found to be alone together,
should two simpletons just sit awkwardly side by side?
Should two simpletons just sit awkwardly side by side...?
Don't push away the good fortune that came to you on her own,
Don't leap and snarl like an angry tiger!
Don't push away the good fortune that came to you on her own,
Don't leap and snarl like an angry tiger!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This playful and teasing song features a female protagonist advising her lover not to reject good fortune and love when it presents itself naturally. She uses the metaphor of 'Seedevi' (Goddess Sridevi, symbolizing auspiciousness and prosperity) coming uninvited, cautioning him against reacting with aggressive hesitation like a leaping tiger or foolishly ignoring a ripe fruit in hand for an unattainable raw one. She gently calls out his youthful stubbornness and confusion, urging him to drop old grievances since they are perfectly matched for each other. Rather than sitting idly or acting foolish when given a rare quiet moment together, she encourages him to embrace their romance and enjoy the present moment.
