{Yaar indha muyal kuttiee
Un per enna muyal Kuttiee} (2)
Vellai vellayai vidyasamai
Vidhi kadakum thundu megamai
Theeyil yeriyum moongil kaatil
Thisayai marantha pattaampoochiyai
Para parapaana pokku varathil
Balloonai tholaitha pacha pillaiyai
Azhagai neeti.. aalai izhuthaii
Acchathaale aasirvathithai
Paartha parvaiyil pachai kuthinai
Bayantha vizhiyinal paithiyam seithai
Salaikadaka muyidum munnal
Unna kadakka mudiyathu ennal
Mudiyathu ennal
Oru kai kaati ennai azhaithaal
Iru kai neeti yenthi kolven
Penne neeyum saalai kadanthaal
Piravi perungadal naanum kadapen
Salaikadaka muyidum munnal
Unna kadakka mudiyathu ennal
Mudiyathu ennal
Yaar indha muyal kuttieee
Un per enna muyal kuttiee
Vellai vellayai vidyasamai
Vidhi kadakum thundu megamai
Theeyil yeriyum moongil kaatil
Thisayai marantha pattaampoochiyai
Para parapaana pokku varathil
Balloonai tholaitha pacha pillaiyai
Who is this little bunny?
What is your name, little bunny?
So pure white and special,
like a piece of cloud crossing the street.
In a burning bamboo forest,
like a butterfly that has lost its way.
In the middle of bustling traffic,
like an innocent child who lost a balloon.
You stretched out your beauty and pulled me in,
you blessed me with your innocent fear.
With just a glance, you tattooed your mark on me,
with your scared eyes, you drove me crazy.
Before you try to cross the road,
I cannot just walk past you.
I really cannot.
If you gesture with one hand and call me,
I will open both arms and hold you.
Girl, if you cross this road,
I will cross the vast ocean of lifetimes.
Before you try to cross the road,
I cannot just walk past you.
I really cannot.
Who is this little bunny?
What is your name, little bunny?
So pure white and special,
like a piece of cloud crossing the street.
In a burning bamboo forest,
like a butterfly that has lost its way.
In the middle of bustling traffic,
like an innocent child who lost a balloon.

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.
