All you people in the house
Come on let us dance
Hoooo...oooo

Come on
சும்மா சும்மா நீ பார்க்காதே
சும்மா சும்மா நீ சொக்காதே
பூக்காத பூவெல்லாம்

Do not get swooned
சும்மா சும்மா நீ பார்க்காதே
சும்மா சும்மா நீ சொக்காதே
All unbloomed flowers
Will turn into thorns
All eyes that do not look at me
Will turn to stone
அழகான மேனி
இத காட்டிட்டா அபச்சாரம்
காட்டாதே என்று நம்மை
திட்டுதே கலாச்சாரம்
Just casually

ம்ம்ம்.....வெள்ளை
கழுத்தோரம் கண்டாலே
சொக்கி போகின்றாய்
கொஞ்சம் கீழ் நோக்கி கண்டாலே
விக்கி போகின்றாய்
...
தொப்புள் ரிங் போட்ட
அழகைதான்
கண்ணில் உற்று பார்
டிசர்ட் உடம்போடு ஒட்டினால்
உண்மை தெரியும் பார்
Near the fair neck
You swoon just by looking
Looking a bit lower
You choke with hiccups just by looking
தினம் மாநில அறிக்கை
எந்தன் வரவில் தானே
நான் எல்லார்க்கும் எப்போதும்
காதல் சொல்லுவேனே
Wearing a ring on the navel
She is a true beauty
Look closely into the eyes
When the t-shirt clings to the body
Look, the truth will be revealed
அழகான மேனி
இத காட்டிட்டா அபச்சாரம்
காட்டாதே என்று நம்மை
திட்டுதே கலாச்சாரம்
Daily weather reports

I will always to everyone

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Chumma Chumma' from the film Kedi (2006) is a glamorous and high-energy dance track. In the song, the female protagonist playfully taunts men, warning them not to stare or get captivated casually because her sheer allure causes emotional chaos and excitement. She uses bold metaphors comparing her influence to a global phenomenon that outshines conventional glamour standard across global cinema. The lyrics also tease societal norms regarding modesty and culture, celebrating female confidence, glamour, and youthful charm while keeping the atmosphere lighthearted and rhythmically energetic.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Anaphora / Repetition
“Chumma chumma / Nee paarkathae”
The phrase 'Chumma chumma' is repeated at the start of multiple couplets to establish rhythm and underscore the casual teasing tone.
Etukai (Second letter agreement / Rhyme)
“Mullaagumae / Kallaagumae”
The second consonant sound 'll' matches across lines ('Mullaagumae' and 'Kallaagumae'), creating traditional Tamil musical rhyme.
Hyperbole / Metaphor
“Moondraam ulagap poar”
Exaggeration comparing the romantic passion and turmoil caused in men's hearts to a 'World War III' (Moondraam ulagap poar).
