என்னப் பார்த்துச் சுத்திச்சுத்தி
வந்தவர்கள் எத்தனையோ
கண்ணப் பார்த்து சொக்கிச்சொக்கி
போனவர்கள் எத்தனையோ
How many people hovered around looking at me,
So many came around!
Looking into my eyes and getting mesmerized,
So many went away spellbound!
கண்ணடிச்சுட்டா மன்னர் இங்கேதான்
கை அசச்சுட்டா காலடியில்தான்
ஆ உன்னப் பார்த்துக்
கெட்டுப் போனேன் கட்டழகு ராசா
எண்ணம் தவிப்பதனாலே
கட்டிக்கொள்ளு லேசா
With just a wink, kings are...
Right here at my feet,
With a wave of my hand, they fall right at my feet!
Looking at you, I lost myself,
My handsome king!
Because my heart is yearning in restlessness,
Hold me tight gently.

So many came around!
Looking into my eyes and getting mesmerized,
So many went away spellbound!
சிங்காரத் தோணியத் தேடு

சொக்காத ஆம்பள யாரு
சொல்லாம நீ வந்து சேரு
Seek the beautiful boat,
Set up the fragrant stage of civet,
Who is the man that doesn't fall under my spell?
Come join me without needing any words!

Sweet honey for the bed,
Come up to the mattress, come, come,

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses the alluring and romantic banter of a confident woman who boasts about how countless men fall for her looks and charm at just a glance or a hand gesture. However, despite all the admirer attention, she admits to having lost her heart exclusively to her handsome lover ('Kattazhagu raasaa'). She invites him affectionately to embrace her and share intimate moments.
