“Kaakarattan” from Coke Studio Tamil isn’t your typical upbeat anthem. Instead, it’s a delicate tapestry woven with threads of simple joy, painted vividly through Yugabharathi’s evocative lyrics. Translated from Tamil, the song celebrates the beauty of rural life, transporting you to sun-drenched fields and bustling village squares.
Imagine the morning glory unfurling its petals and the sun greeting it with a golden kiss. That’s the scene the opening lyrics set, each word bursting with vibrant imagery. Roosters crow their joyous chorus, mirroring the “desiring heart” that dances to the rhythm of life. It’s a celebration of the mundane, finding beauty in a chariot’s sway or birds’ chirping.
Vidya Vox’s verse injects a playful energy, painting a picture of a rural idyll. She casts a line in a dancing canal, listens to the whispers of flowers, and joins hands with grazing animals. Translated from Tamil, the lyrics reveal a childlike wonder at the simplest things, a reminder that true joy lies in embracing the everyday.
KAAKARATTAN COKE STUDIO TAMIL SONG LYRICS ENGLISH MEANING
Kakkaratan Pooththiruche
The morning glory has blossomed,
Kan Thorandhe Sooriyandhan Paththiruche
and the sun has woken up to it.
Katu Thatan Kootuvache
Feasting on the dragonfly
Sevalellam Koovuthamma Kooththadiche
The roosters are crowing in celebration
Aadi Varum Therazhaga
Like the beauty of the swaying chariot
Aasamanam Thandhanathom Poattiruche
The desiring heart rejoices musically
Koodi Varum Oorusanam
The gathered villagers
Nenjula Than Mavilaka Yethiruche Jora
Have splendidly lit a lamp in their hearts
Kakkaratan Pooththiruche
The morning glory has blossomed
Kan Thorandhe Sooriyandhan Paththiruche
And the sun has woken up to it
Neerodum Vaikalil Thoondil Poatu,
In the canal where water dances, I throw a bait.
Oayamal Ketpane Meenin Pattu
Only to listen to the song of the fish
Aavaram Poopesum Varthai Keatu,
I hear out the flower (Avarampoo)
Aattodum Mattodum Vaipen Koottu
And join hands with the Sheep & Cow
Pananthoappin Oram Rail Odum Kagam,
In the Palm farm, where the crows play
Adhai Parthe Nindral Poadhadho
Isn’t that enough to enjoy the scenic beauty?
Vayarkatil Vesum Oru Thayin Vasam,
The farm is filled with a mother fragrance
Atharkeedai Inge Veredho
Will there be anything equivalent to that?
Poonguruviye Un Mudhugile, Van Yezhudhudho Azhagiya Kavidhai
Does the Sky write poems on your back?
Oor Muzhudhume Perazhagile
The entire village is filled with such scenic beauty
Yar Thaduppatho Tholaigira Manathai
Who could stop the mind from getting lost in all this beauty?
Vellandhi Sollamma, Vetkandhan Ennamma
Tell me, Oh my pure heart! Why so shy, my dear?
Kakkaratan Pooththiruche
The morning glory has blossomed,
Kan Thorandhe Sooriyandhan Paththiruche
and the sun has woken up to it.
Katu Thatan Kootuvache
Feasting on the dragonfly
Sevalellam Koovuthamma Kooththadiche
The roosters are crowing in celebration
