Othapana Kaatteri Lyrics Translation – Udanpirappe Soundtrack
Yugabharathi writes the woman as a ‘Katteri’ whose gaze strikes like a ten-headed serpent. Sid Sriram portrays her deceptive act, where she mimics goodness but robs him of calm. His torment grows from her close presence.
Oththa Panai KatteriYou’re like a ‘Katteri,’ a lone palm tree demon,
Oththathu Than Un Parvaiand your gaze is just as wild.
Paththu Thala PambattamLike a ten-headed snake,
Koththuriye Vazhvayou keep striking at my life.
Oththa Panai KatteriYou’re like a ‘Katteri,’ a lone palm tree demon,
Oththathu Than Un Parvaiand your gaze is just as wild.
Paththu Thala PambattamLike a ten-headed snake,
Koththuriye Vazhvayou keep striking at my life.
Kannazhagu PodhamaWasn’t the beauty of your eyes enough?
Kai Azhaga KettendiYou demanded a beautiful hand next, didn’t you.
Kai Azhaga Ketta NeeAnd you, who asked for that hand,
Katuriye Poochandiare showing me a ‘Poochandi,’ a monster, instead.
Nallavala Pole Than Romba NadippaYou’re so good at pretending to be a good person,
Kitta Vara Yemathi Kollai Adippabut you cheat and rob me blind when I get close.
Oththa Panai KatteriYou’re like a ‘Katteri,’ a lone palm tree demon,
Oththathu Than Un Parvaiand your gaze is just as wild.
Paththu Thala PambattamLike a ten-headed snake,
Koththuriye Vazhvayou keep striking at my life.
Oththa Panai KatteriYou’re like a ‘Katteri,’ a lone palm tree demon,
Oththathu Than Un Parvaiand your gaze is just as wild.
Paththu Thala PambattamLike a ten-headed snake,
Koththuriye Vazhvayou keep striking at my life.
Aa AaAh, ah…
Sami Patha Ezha PolaLike a poor soul who’s just seen a god,
Kadhal Neeyum Katayou showed me what love could be.
Andha Nodiyila Manam Norungiya KadhaIn that one moment, it became the story of a heart crushed to pieces,
Aanivera Attashaking me down to my very roots.

Podhum Podhum Settaibut enough, enough of your mischief.
Oththa Usuraiyum Ini UnakenaFrom now on, this single soul of mine,
Tharuvene ThalattaI will offer it to you, just to soothe you.
Azhagula Enai Yendi ArukkuraWhy are you slicing me up with your beauty?
Pasichadhum Elai Poda MarukkuraJust when I’m starving, you refuse to even serve the leaf.
Pudhusa Velainja PayalaYou look at this freshly grown crop of a boy,
Vedhai Nellunnu Pakkuraand see him as just seed for planting.
