My name is Sundaramoorthy
My wishes have all come true
My name is Sundaramoorthy
My wishes have all come true
Because a queen entered my life,
Today I have become a king in this town!
Because a queen entered my life,
Today I have become a king in this town!
...
My name is Sathyavathi
I am always a queen
My name is Sathyavathi
I am always a queen
The king married me
And blossomed every day in my lap
He tasted the sweet joy of love
The king married me
And blossomed every day in my lap
He tasted the sweet joy of love
My name is Sundaramoorthy
My wishes have all come true
Fear and hesitation,
Fear and hesitation,
And modesty exist in the world,
Yet even those are not found here!
What is left, what is remaining?
What limit is there to pleasure?
There is no joy quite like this...
There is no joy quite like this...
Women born delicate like flowers,
Male: With eyes skilled in the arts of love,
Female: Why do we even need turmeric anymore?
My name is Sundaramoorthy
My wishes have all come true
Even after giving birth to seven children,
Even after giving birth to seven children,
There is nothing wrong with being that way!
There is nothing wrong with being that way!
Can one ever forget the heart?
Female: Should one wear shorter clothes?
Male: Should one stop the flow of art?
Moving from one lover to another,
That kind of lifestyle must change!
It has turned into a Western culture, hey hey!
Where are the Tamil traditions?
Male: Where is the modesty of women?
Female: Everything here is an upside-down craze!
My name is Sathyavathi
I am always a queen
The king married me
And blossomed every day in my lap
My name is Sundaramoorthy
My wishes have all come true
Because a queen entered my life,
Today I have become a king in this town!
