Kathanayaki’s Kodi Naattuven Lyrics Translation
The singer first pictures a future where fans line up for her autograph. She then pivots to demonstrate her skills. Her performance shifts to despair as she questions if this is the “limit of all happiness,” proving she can embody tragedy instantly.

The song works as a live audition, moving between genres on command. It presents a confident vision, then a moment of sorrow, and finally a display of valor with sharp insults. This structure presents a complete showcase of the character’s acting talent.
