You wear mascara and enchant me,
You talk so charmingly and sweep me off my feet.
Female: Am I charming you by wearing mascara?
Am I sweeping you off your feet by talking so charmingly?
Hey, enchantingly gorgeous girl,
You are the leading minister in my alliance!
Hey, enchantingly handsome man,
The shining moon in my night!
You wear mascara and enchant me,
You talk so charmingly and sweep me off my feet.
Female: Am I charming you by wearing mascara?
Am I sweeping you off your feet by talking so charmingly?
Hey, it gives an electric shock, an electric shock,
It gives such a shock, a shock!
I am gasping for breath, gasping for breath,
Ever since you bumped into me yesterday.
Hey, the wind is blowing, the wind is blowing,
A wild breeze is blowing!
Hey, I am breaking into a sweat, sweating all over,
Just looking at the way you stare at me.
Hey, an ocean, an ocean, an ocean,
An ocean with surging waves.
I am a boat, a boat, a boat,
A boat floating on top of it.
My lips are sweet like sugar,
My body is like fire,
I am total glamour,
If you look at me,
A fever will rise in you!
Mascara, mascara...
Mascara, mascara... mascara, mascara...
You wear mascara and enchant me,
You talk so charmingly and sweep me off my feet.
Female: Am I charming you by wearing mascara?
Am I sweeping you off your feet by talking so charmingly?
Hey, by your sexy waist, your sexy waist,
I am standing completely spellbound.
If that dress slips up just a tiny bit,
A hundred men are going to drop dead!
Hey, on this hot night, this hot night,
The moon is swaying and drumming away.
Hey, to bring down the heat,
To cool off the warmth,
I am your cool air conditioner.
Attitude, attitude, attitude,
There is such attitude in your beauty.
Drop it, drop it, drop it,
Drop that hesitation a little bit.
Gold, silver, and diamond,
A sculpted statue blended from all three,
Is roaming like pure gold right before you!
Mascara, mascara...
Mascara, mascara... mascara, mascara...
You wear mascara and enchant me,
You talk so charmingly and sweep me off my feet.
Female: Am I charming you by wearing mascara?
Am I sweeping you off your feet by talking so charmingly?
Hey, enchantingly gorgeous girl,
You are the leading minister in my alliance!
Hey, enchantingly handsome man,
The shining moon in my night!
You wear mascara and enchant me,
You talk so charmingly and sweep me off my feet.
Female: Am I charming you by wearing mascara?
Am I sweeping you off your feet by talking so charmingly?

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
'Mascara Pottu' is a popular, upbeat dance song from the 2014 Tamil action thriller film Salim, starring Vijay Antony. The song features a lively romantic dialogue between the two lovers, filled with flirtatious compliments, rhythmic wordplay, and playful teasing. The male lead expresses his total enchantment with the woman's mascara-adorned eyes and stunning appearance, while the female lead playfully acknowledges her own dazzling beauty and charm.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Adukkuthodar (Repetition for Emphasis)
“Ye shock-adikkudhu shock-adikkudhu / Ye kadalu kadalu kadalu”
Repetition of words like 'shock-adikkudhu', 'kadalu', and 'padagu' creates an energetic, rhythmic beat and heightens emotional intensity.
Metaphor (Uruvagaimai)
“Ye kadalu kadalu kadalu / Naan padagu padagu padagu”
The female protagonist compares herself to an ocean overflowing with waves, while describing her lover as a boat floating on it.
Etukai (Second-Letter Rhyme)
“Ye kadalu kadalu kadalu / Naan padagu padagu padagu”
Consonantal similarity in the second letter across consecutive lines ('kadalu' and 'padagu') creates traditional Tamil poetic harmony.
