Without looking here and there,
Look at me, my king!
A rose full of desire
Is dancing with delight!

Is dancing with delight!
When a charming girl dances,
A charming girl,
When a charming girl dances,
Is there any heart on this earth that doesn't feel thrilled?
Look at the love in my eyes!
Is there any heart on this earth that doesn't feel thrilled?
Look at the love in my eyes!
Without looking here and there,
Look at me, my king!
A rose full of desire
Is dancing with delight!
Through me, this graceful girl, unmatched joy
Will overflow in your life,
And stay with you forever.
Come close and give me happiness!
Through me, this graceful girl, unmatched joy
Will overflow in your life,
And stay with you forever.
Come close and give me happiness!
Without looking here and there,
Look at me, my king!
A rose full of desire
Is dancing with delight!
Playing with flowers and singing sweet folk tunes,
Come, let us live happily together!
Satisfy my endless longing!
Playing with flowers and singing sweet folk tunes,
Come, let us live happily together!
Satisfy my endless longing!
Longing for the fragrant screw-pine flower,
You seek it out and drink its sweet honey,
So do not fly away like a fickle bee later, my king!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Angum ingum paarthidaamal from the 1956 film Satharam is a lively and romantic dance song sung by Jikki. The female protagonist captivates her beloved king, asking him to focus solely on her dance rather than letting his gaze wander. Metaphorically referring to herself as a blooming rose, she promises that her performance and affection will fill his life with boundless, everlasting bliss. She lovingly invites him to share sweet folk melodies and build a harmonious, prosperous life together. At the same time, she playfully cautions him using the imagery of a honeybee: while he is welcome to taste the sweet honey of her love, he should remain faithful and not fly away like a fickle beetle.
