Uploaded by MTV India on its Twitter handle, as a part of MTV Unplugged, the song went viral in no time! The new version features Rahman with Suresh Peters and composer Ranjit Barot.

The Oscar-winning composer, on December 1, last year, had asked his fans to contribute fresh lyrics for the song and upon receiving more than a 1,000 comments on his Facebook page, he picked up handful of them.

For the new version, the 50-year-old musician left no socio-political issue unmentioned in the reprised lyrics- from Donald Trump's victory to demonetised India.

Some of the lyrics go like this:

Hillary Clinton Thoothu Poonal, Take it easy policyDonald Trump presidentaanal,Take it easy policy Ainooru ruba sella poonal, Take it easy policyAaiyaram ruba sella poonal, Take it easy policy

So here we have a translation for those who do not understand the Tamil lyrics of the song - 

Urvashi (new)

Urvashi Urvashi take it easy Urvashi

If you are thin as a needle, don’t need pharmacyTo succeed in life, take it easy policyLike the rainbow, in life, youth is a fantasy

Hey Beautiful (like Goddess of love Rathi), say something, there are 3 lakh words in TamilYou are my only Hope (salvation), at least say two words.

To succeed in life, take it easy policy

If Hilary Clinton loses, take it easy policyIf Donald Trump becomes president, take it easy policy

If 500 rupees note becomes worthless, take it easy policyIf 100 rupees note becomes worthless, take it easy policy

Urvashi Urvashi take it easy, Urvashi

Listen Beautiful! There are 6 lakh nerves in the bodyDo you know, friend, where is the nerve for love?

To succeed in life, take it easy policy

Like the rainbow, in life, youth is a fantasyLove won’t happen passionately at first sight nor will you lose virginity by setting eyes (looking)There are no vegetarians among cats nor is there a (man like) Ram among menIf there are no revolutionary changes, no good can happen for womenOnly Kannagi has a statue, where does Sita by herself have a statue?

Deep into the sea if battery charge is over, take it easy policyDespite wearing a helmet if the Police catches you, take it easy policyIf someone says a torn pant is fashionable, take it easy policyDespite wearing belt if the dhoti falls, take it easy policy

Urvashi Urvashi take it easy Urvashi

If you are thin as a needle, don’t need pharmacyTo succeed in life, take it easy policyLike the rainbow, in life, youth is a fantasy

During the day if you don’t notice an attractive girl then what’s the use in winking (flirting) at night? (aankh maarna)

If you don’t have freedom, what is the use of even being in heaven?If there are no girls, what is the use of classrooms?If you don’t dance at 20, what is the use of dancing at 60?

Urvashi (Original)

Urvashi Urvashi take it easy Urvashi

If you are thin as a needle, don’t need pharmacyTo succeed in life, take it easy policyLike the rainbow, in life, youth is a fantasy

Hey Beautiful (like Goddess of love Rathi), say something, there are 3 lakh words in TamilYou are my only Hope (salvation), at least say two words.

To succeed in life, take it easy policyLike the rainbow, in life, youth is a fantasy

During Oliyum Oliyum (film song programme on DD) if the power fails, take it easy policyDespite studying well if you fail, take it easy policyIf father calls you good for nothing, take it easy policyIf the bald man goes to Tirupati, take it easy policy

Urvashi..

Listen Beautiful! There are 6 lakh nerves in the bodyDo you know, friend, where is the nerve for love?To succeed in life, take it easy policy

Love won’t happen passionately at first sight nor in first sight will you lose shyness.There are no vegetarians among cats nor is there a (man like) Ram among menIf there are no revolutionary changes, no good can happen for womenOnly Kannagi has a statue, where does Sita by herself have a statue?

If a girl entices and then loses interest, take it easy policyIf old lady sits next to you, take it easy policyIf festivals fall on Sundays, take it easy policyIf lover breaks up calling you brother, take it easy policy

Urvashi Urvashi take it easy Urvashi

If you are thin as a needle, don’t need pharmacyTo succeed in life, take it easy policyLike the rainbow, in life, youth is a fantasy

During the day if you don’t notice an attractive girl then what’s the use in winking (flirting) at night? (aankh maarna)

If you don’t have freedom, what is the use of even being in heaven?If there are no girls, what is the use of classrooms?If you don’t dance at 20, what is the use of dancing at 60?
