அந்த அறையினிலே ஒரு ரகசியம்
அதன் நடுவினிலே ஒரு அதிசயம்
அதை நீயும் பார்ப்பது அவசியம்
அந்தப் பார்வை சுகமல்லவா…
In that room, there is a secret
In the middle of it, there is a wonder

மை போட்ட கண்களில் நெய் போட்டு பார்க்கவா
கை போட்டு பார்க்கவா கண்ணாடி பார்க்கவா
பெண்ணோடு செண்டுகள் செண்டோடு வண்டுகள்
ஒன்றாகக் கூட்டவா கையோடு காட்டவா
நினைத்ததும் நடந்து விடும்
நெருங்கினால் முடிந்து விடும்…
Should I apply shine to kohl-lined eyes and look?
Should I touch and feel, or look into the mirror?
Flowers with a woman, and bees with flowers
Shall I bring them together and tie them close?
Whatever you wish for will come to pass
If you come close, it will be completed

அழகான பாத்திரம் நான் கேட்ட சாத்திரம்
உனக்காக மாத்திரம் நடை போடும் சீக்கிரம்
அப்போது கேட்டது இப்போது வந்தது
இப்போது தூங்கினால் எப்போது பார்ப்பது
நினைத்ததும் நடந்து விடும்
நெருங்கினால் முடிந்து விடும்
In that room, there is a secret
In the middle of it, there is a wonder

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from CID Sankar (1970) is a quintessential Tamil club/cabaret track performed enticingly by playback singer L. R. Eswari. Lyricist Kannadasan uses suggestive, playful, and mysterious phrasing to tease the listener about a secret hidden inside a room. The lyrics blend romantic allure with the suspenseful tone required for a spy thriller.

Trivia
CID Sankar (1970) was an adaptation of the 1965 French-Italian spy film 'A 009: Missione Hong Kong'. Jaishankar's portrayal in such detective thrillers earned him the popular title 'South Indian James Bond', and seductive numbers sung by L. R. Eswari became a signature element of his action films.
