Anuragam’s Anuraga Sundari Lyrics Translation
The lyrics combine modern English terms with traditional Malayalam descriptions. He calls his love interest a “Hottie Naughty Lady” and a “Selfie Perazhagi,” or selfie beauty. Another line introduces “elusive doves” cooing on the steps of his mind to show a fluttering internal excitement.
