Ru Ru Ru Lyrics Translation (from “Pennum Porattum”)
The lyrics describe a chaotic scene: ‘The forest fire’s bloom is burning, and the wild queen’s eyes are blazing.’ Dawn Vincent uses this imagery to create a sense of urgency and rebellion. The repeated calls to ‘run, run, run’ and ‘burn, burn, burn’ add to the song’s intensity.

Kaattaranikkannuand the wild queen’s eyes
