Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song is a charming and poetic romantic expression of a man captivated by a timid, innocent woman attempting to cross a busy road. Affectionately calling her a 'muyal kutty' (bunny rabbit), he is overwhelmed by her pure appearance and nervous demeanor amidst the surrounding urban chaos. The lyricist paints vivid pictures comparing her to a stray butterfly, a drifting cloud, and a child who lost a balloon. As the narrative unfolds, the protagonist expresses his deep fascination and protectiveness toward her. He declares that her frightened glances have completely captivated his heart, asserting that if she takes a step or asks for help, he is willing to cross not just the physical road, but even the great ocean of rebirths to be with her.
