Pushpa The Rise’s Srivalli Tamil Lyrics English Meaning
Viveka shows the admirer lowering his head to view Srivalli’s anklets, a gesture reserved solely for her. Sid Sriram sings the character admitting her beauty stands uniquely in crowds, not by conventional standards.
Nan Pakkuren PakkurenI keep looking and looking,
Pakkama Nee Enga Porabut where are you going without a single glance?
Nee Pakkura PakkuraYou look and look,
Ellam Pakkura Enna Thavirayou see everything except for me.
Kanadha DeivathaiYou gaze upon gods you can’t even see,
Kan Moodama Pakkuriyewith your eyes wide open.
Kan Munne Nan IrundhumBut even when I’m right in front of you,
Kadandhu Poguriyeyou just walk on by.
Hey Parvai Karpoora DeebamaHey, is your gaze a sacred ‘camphor flame’,
SrivalliSrivalli?
Peche Kalyani RagamaIs your voice a ‘Kalyani raga’ melody?
Parvai Karpoora Deebama SrivalliIs your gaze a sacred ‘camphor flame’, Srivalli?
Vasam Kasthoori VasamaIs your fragrance the scent of musk?
Koottathula PonaIf I’m in a crowd,
Nan Nadappen MunneI’ll walk right at the front.
Nee Nadandha MattumBut if you’re walking there,
Varuven Un PinneI’ll follow right behind you.
Evanaiyume ParthuI’ve never bowed my head for anyone,
Thalai Kunijathu Illanot once.
Un Kolusa Pakka ThanBut just to see your anklets,
Thalai Kuninjendi PullaI’ve bowed my head, girl.
Pathagathi Unna NanYou little wretch, I keep circling you,
Pakka Suththi Vandhalumtrying to get a look.
Pathidama PoriyeBut you just slip away,
Pavam Pakkamawithout showing any pity.

Perazhagu Illanot at all.
Theradha KootathilaIt’s just that in a faceless crowd,
Azhaga Theriyuradi Pullayou’re the one who looks beautiful to me, girl.
Padhinettu VayasaOnce a girl turns eighteen,
Thottale Podhumthat’s all it takes.
Nee Illai Ellam PonnumAny girl, not just you,
Dhinusa Than Thonumstarts to seem special in her own way.
Kuththu Kallukku Selai KattiEven a stone pillar would look pretty,
Vitta Kooda Sitta Theriyumif you just wrapped a ‘saree’ around it.
Koththu Poova Koondhalil VachaWith a cluster of flowers in her hair,
Endha Ponnum Bodhai Yethumany girl can be intoxicating.
AanaBut…
