| Male | |
| Sundari …sundari | Beautiful girl... beautiful girl |
| Un thenavattu iduppa kaatti | Showing off your stylish waist |
| Izhuthu pothi maracha | Pulling and covering it up |
| Naa summangatti morachen | I stood staring intently |
| Enna paarvaiyala adicha | You struck me with your glance |
| Male | |
| Naan sokki sokki vizhundhen | I fell down intoxicated in love |
| Nee kokki pottu izhutha | You hooked and pulled me in |
| Thai thakka attam aadi | Dancing wildly to a lively rhythm |
| Un thimira kaati pudicha | Showing off your pride, you captured me |
| Male | |
| Nee cheppaal pottu nadantha | When you walk wearing slippers |
| Kadalula kappal kavundhu pogum | Even a ship in the ocean would capsize |
| Pudhu ettu muzhathu saela | Wearing a brand new eight-cubit saree |
| Uduthina nenappu unnai thaedum | My thoughts constantly seek you |
| Male | |
| Sundari …sundari | Beautiful girl... beautiful girl |
| Male | |
| Kaalukku seruppa maaridadaa | Turn into footwear for your feet |
| Kaalamum iruppenae meritta | I will remain forever if you command |
| Yaaru naanu vaaya thorandhu | Who am I? Open your mouth |
| Sollividu oru vaatti | And tell me just once |
| Male | |
| Colorula kadaiya poduriyae | You are setting up a colorful shop |
| Thavanaiya usura vanguriyae | Taking my life away in installments |
| Theva patta neramellaam | Whenever it is required |
| Polisha vechukkiven | I will keep myself polished |
| Male | |
| Adikadi heartu pakkama | Frequently near my heart |
| Boots satham ketkum | The sound of boots is heard |
| Adhukulla motha nerambhu thaan | Inside, all my nerves |
| Thaalam thatti paadum | Beat the rhythm and sing |
| Male | |
| Sittigai signal kaatinaal | If you show a signal with a snap of your fingers |
| Manasu mazhaiyil eriyum | My mind burns even in the rain |
| Adhuvarai pakka solliyae | Until then, standing by your side |
| Kadhal kenji neliyum | Love squirms while begging |
| Male | |
| Un lookku padichadhaala | Because I studied your look |
| Vera booka padichathilla | I haven't read any other book |
| Un angam pudichadhaala | Because I liked your presence |
| Sondham bandham theva illa | I don't need any relatives or bonds |
| Male | |
| Naa immathundu nool | I am just a tiny thread |
| Kaadhalil sikki konda aalu | A guy trapped in love |
| Un kaalukku yetha seruppu | A slipper fitting right for your feet |
| En mela kattadha veruppu | Do not display hatred towards me |

Beautiful girl... beautiful girl
Showing off your stylish waist
Pulling and covering it up
I stood staring intently
You struck me with your glance
சுந்தரி சுந்தரி
உன் தெனாவெட்டு இடுப்ப
காட்டி இழுத்து போத்தி மாறச்ச
நா சும்மாங்காட்டி மொறச்சேன்
என்ன பார்வையால அடிச்ச
I fell down intoxicated in love
You hooked and pulled me in
Dancing wildly to a lively rhythm
Showing off your pride, you captured me
நான் சொக்கி சொக்கி விழுந்தேன்
நீ கொக்கி போட்டு இழுத்த
தை தக்க ஆட்டமாடி
உன் திமிருகாட்டி புடிச்ச
When you walk wearing slippers
Even a ship in the ocean would capsize
Wearing a brand new eight-cubit saree
My thoughts constantly seek you
நீ செப்பல் போட்டு நடந்தா
கடலுல கப்பல் கவுந்து போகும்
புது எட்டு முழத்து சேலா உடுத்தினா
நெனப்பு உன்னை தேடும்
ஆண் : சுந்தரி… சுந்தரி…
Beautiful girl... beautiful girl
...................
Turn into footwear for your feet
I will remain forever if you command
Who am I? Open your mouth
And tell me just once
காலுக்கு செருப்பா மாறிடட்டா
காலமும் இருப்பேனே மெரிட்டா
யாரு நானு…? வாய தொறந்து
சொல்லிவிடு ஒரு வாட்டி
You are setting up a colorful shop
Taking my life away in installments
Whenever it is required
I will keep myself polished
கலர்ருல கடையே போடுறியே
தவணையா உசுர வாங்குறியே
தேவப்பட்ட நேரமெல்லாம்
பாலிசா வச்சிக்குவேன்
Frequently near my heart
The sound of boots is heard
Inside, all my nerves
Beat the rhythm and sing
அடிக்கடி ஹார்ட்டு பக்கம்மா
பூட்ஸ் சத்தம் கேட்கும்
அதுக்குள்ள மொத்த நரம்பு தான்
தாளம் தட்டி பாடும்
If you show a signal with a snap of your fingers
My mind burns even in the rain
Until then, standing by your side
Love squirms while begging
சிட்டிகை சிக்னல் காட்டினால்
மனசு மழையில் எரியும்
அதுவரை பாக்க சொல்லியே
காதல் கெஞ்சி நெழியும்
Because I studied your look
I haven't read any other book
Because I liked your presence
I don't need any relatives or bonds
உன் லுக்கு படிச்சதால
வேற புக்கு படிச்சதில்ல
உன் அங்கம் புடிச்சதால
சொந்தம் பந்தம் தேவ இல்ல
I am just a tiny thread
A guy trapped in love
A slipper fitting right for your feet
Do not display hatred towards me
நா இம்மாத்துண்டு நூல்
காதலில் சிக்கிக்கொண்ட ஆளு
உன் காலுக்கு ஏத்த செருப்பு
என் மேல காட்டாத வெறுப்பு
Beautiful girl... beautiful girl
சுந்தரி… சுந்தரி…

Sundari …sundari
Beautiful girl... beautiful girl
Un thenavattu iduppa kaatti
Showing off your stylish waist
Izhuthu pothi maracha
Pulling and covering it up
Naa summangatti morachen
I stood staring intently
Enna paarvaiyala adicha
You struck me with your glance
Naan sokki sokki vizhundhen
I fell down intoxicated in love
Nee kokki pottu izhutha
You hooked and pulled me in
Thai thakka attam aadi
Dancing wildly to a lively rhythm
Un thimira kaati pudicha
Showing off your pride, you captured me
Nee cheppaal pottu nadantha
When you walk wearing slippers
Kadalula kappal kavundhu pogum
Even a ship in the ocean would capsize
Pudhu ettu muzhathu saela
Wearing a brand new eight-cubit saree
Uduthina nenappu unnai thaedum
My thoughts constantly seek you
Sundari …sundari
Beautiful girl... beautiful girl
Kaalukku seruppa maaridadaa
Turn into footwear for your feet
Kaalamum iruppenae meritta
I will remain forever if you command
Yaaru naanu vaaya thorandhu
Who am I? Open your mouth
Sollividu oru vaatti
And tell me just once
Colorula kadaiya poduriyae
You are setting up a colorful shop
Thavanaiya usura vanguriyae
Taking my life away in installments
Theva patta neramellaam
Whenever it is required
Polisha vechukkiven
I will keep myself polished
Adikadi heartu pakkama
Frequently near my heart
Boots satham ketkum
The sound of boots is heard
Adhukulla motha nerambhu thaan
Inside, all my nerves
Thaalam thatti paadum
Beat the rhythm and sing
Sittigai signal kaatinaal
If you show a signal with a snap of your fingers
Manasu mazhaiyil eriyum
My mind burns even in the rain
Adhuvarai pakka solliyae
Until then, standing by your side
Kadhal kenji neliyum
Love squirms while begging
Un lookku padichadhaala
Because I studied your look
Vera booka padichathilla
I haven't read any other book
Un angam pudichadhaala
Because I liked your presence
Sondham bandham theva illa
I don't need any relatives or bonds
Naa immathundu nool
I am just a tiny thread
Kaadhalil sikki konda aalu
A guy trapped in love
Un kaalukku yetha seruppu
A slipper fitting right for your feet
En mela kattadha veruppu
Do not display hatred towards me
Sundari …..sundari
Beautiful girl... beautiful girl
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Sundari' from the movie Vimanam is a lively and passionate folk-pop expression of romantic devotion. The male protagonist playfully sings about his intense affection for his love interest, expressing admiration for her beauty, her walking style, and her charming attitude. He describes how completely her gaze and presence have captivated him, driving away all other desires and ties. Throughout the track, the lyricist uses self-deprecating yet deeply devoted imagery, as the protagonist offers to humble himself completely—even comparing his submission to becoming footwear for her or a simple thread caught in the web of love. The song balances rhythmic folk humor with sincere adoration.
