கண்டவர் மனசைக்
கொள்ளை கொள்ளும்
அழகி இல்லையா கூறு
அண்டையிலே எட்டிப் பாக்கும்
ஆளையே பாரு அந்த ஆம்பிள்ளை யாரு
அவர் பேரையும் கூறு....
The hearts of anyone who beholds
Stealing away completely
Tell me, am I not a beauty?

Look at that person, who is that man?

அப்பாவி சுப்பண்ணா
Don't look this way and that way
Innocent Suppanna
என்னை நோக்கியே கண்ணை காட்டுறார்
ரகசியமாக ஏதேதோ சொல்லுறார்
ஏமாளியல்ல நான் கோமாளி வீரரே
Looking towards me, he signals with his eyes
He is whispering something secretly
I am no fool, oh brave jester!
அப்படியும் இப்படியும் பாக்காதே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful song features a dancer addressing an innocent companion named Suppanna, urging him to focus and pay attention to her dance instead of looking around absent-mindedly. She draws attention to the rhythmic jingle of her anklets and ornamentations, boasting about her captivating beauty that steals the hearts of onlookers. She then points out a man nearby who is attempting to flirt with her secretly through glances and whispers. Confident and sharp, she dismisses the flirter's tricks, declaring that she is far too clever to be easily fooled by anyone.
