When you look at her, she looks gorgeous
Chorus: Who is she, buddy?
Male: Flaunting her beauty, she conquers the world
Chorus: Which area is she from, buddy?
Hey, she's with brothers over there
She's with uncles and in-laws over here
Even when crumpled, she nurtures love
Le le le
In her two shades—black and white
Le le le
Who is she, folks?
Chorus: Money!
Male: It's all about love, my friend!
Chorus: Money, money!
Male: If we chase her, she runs away
If she threatens us...
Okay-ay-ay
Money, money
Give me the money
Hey
You want the money
You want the girl
The best is
To make you laugh at the world
So cool, so slow
Just stretch
Wanna feel real good
Bring the nation down
Or build the brotherhood
Funny, funny
Life is so sunny
It's the only thing
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
A couple in love
A married couple
What makes them bond and thrive
Is only money
Even among the gods
Who is small and who is big
What decides that
Is only money
In the political marketplace
Power and position are bought with money
Hey, shall I tell you the truth?
Even relationships depend on money
Even to draw a breath
Costs money
If that breath stops
It still costs money
The beginning and the end
Is only money
Hey money, hey money
Without money, you're just dust
Boss, you're the boss
They've even given money a pass!
Money for the bus
Money for a kiss
Money to climb up
Money to step down
Money, money at an eatery
Money, money at the restroom
Money, money to commit a crime
Money, money to do charity
Money, money for a concert
Money, money for a funeral wail
Money, money to buy a nation
Money, money even for a cup of tea
Oh man, money!
When you look at her, she looks gorgeous
Gorgeous, yes!
Flaunting her beauty, she conquers the world
Conquers, yes!
Hey, she's with brothers over there
She's with uncles and in-laws over here
Even when crumpled, she nurtures love
Le le le
In her two shades—black and white
Le le le
If you get money
You will get everything
The whole town will walk
Right behind you
Chorus: Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
What gives you wisdom
And what ruins your mind
Is abundantly filled
By money alone
Chorus: Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
An ordinary student
I became a don
Once hitting singles
I turned into a king
Money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money
Money, money, money
When you look at her, she looks gorgeous
Flaunting her beauty, she conquers the world
Hey, brothers will be over there
Uncles and in-laws will be over here
Even when crumpled, she nurtures love
Le le le
In her two shades—black and white

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song 'Kaasae' from 'Thiruttu Payale' personifies money as an irresistible, beautiful woman who drives the entire world. It lists currencies from around the globe to emphasize the universal reign of money, illustrating how it impacts every human endeavor—from birth, marriage, and political power, to basic necessities, crime, charity, and death.

Poetic devices
Personification (Uruvagandhu)
“Avala paartha azhaga iruppa”
Money is personified as a woman ('Ava', 'Azhaga iruppa') who tempts people, nurtures relationships, and holds power over everyone.
Antithesis / Oxymoron (Edhirsol)
“Moochu Vidavum Kaasae thaan / Moochu ponaal Kaasae thaan”
Contrasting pairs like life/death, bus/kiss, toilet/dining, concert/funeral showcase the omnipresence of money across all extremes of life.
Emonai / Alliteration (Monai)
“Kaadhal jodi / Kalyana jodi / Kaninthida vaippadhum / Kaasae thaan”
Repetition of initial consonant sounds like 'Ka' in 'Kaadhal', 'Kalyana', 'Kaninthida', 'Kaasae'.

Trivia
'Thiruttu Payale' (2006) was directed by Susi Ganeshan with music composed by Bharathwaj. The lyrics written by Vairamuthu satirically personify money to reflect the central theme of greed in the film's blackmail narrative.
