Andha araiyinile oru ragasiyam
Adhan naduvinile oru adhisayam
Adhai neeyum paarpadhu avasiyam
Andha paarvai sugamallavaa
Andha araiyinile oru ragasiyam
Adhan naduvinile oru adhisayam
Adhai neeyum paarpadhu avasiyam

Mai potta kangalil nei pottu paarkkava
Kai pottu paarkkava kannadi paarkkava
Pennodu sendugal sendoodu vandugal
Ondraaga kootavaa kaiyodu kattava
Ninaithadhum nadanthu vidum

There is a secret inside that room,
And right in the middle, a wonder.
It is a must that you see it,
Isn't that sight pure pleasure?
There is a secret inside that room,
And right in the middle, a wonder.
It is a must that you see it,
Isn't that sight pure pleasure?
Shall I touch up my kohl-lined eyes with ghee and look at you?
Shall I wrap my arm around you, or look into the mirror?
Bouquets of flowers with this girl, and bees humming around the bouquets,
Shall I gather them together and hold them in hand?
Whatever you wish for will happen,
Once you come close, it will all be fulfilled.
There is a secret inside that room,
And right in the middle, a wonder.
It is a must that you see it,
Isn't that sight pure pleasure?
There is a secret inside that room,
And right in the middle, a wonder.
It is a must that you see it,
Isn't that sight pure pleasure?
There is a secret inside that room,
And right in the middle, a wonder.
It is a must that you see it,
Isn't that sight pure pleasure?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

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.

“Andha araiyinile oru ragasiyam / Adhan naduvinile oru adhisayam / Adhai neeyum paarpadhu avasiyam”

The words 'ragasiyam', 'adhisayam', and 'avasiyam' end with identical rhythmic suffixes across consecutive lines, creating a smooth, musical flow.

“Ninaithadhum nadanthu vidum / Nerunginaal mudinthu vidum”

The second consonant sound 'n' is repeated in 'Ninaithadhum' and 'Nerunginaal'.

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.
