Hey beautiful fire
You are tormenting me
In those eyes that are like Haiku poetry
As you keep singing
A hyper tension
Rushes to my head, come on man
{ ஹே அழகிய தீயே
என்னை வாட்டுகிறாயே
ஒரு ஹைக்கு கவிதை
விழிகளில் நீதான் பாட
பாட ஒரு ஹைப்பா்
டென்ஷன் தலைக்கேறுதே
நானும் வாட } (2)
Hey beautiful fire
You are tormenting me
In those eyes that are like Haiku poetry
As you keep singing
A hyper tension
பாவைகள் உனக்கொரு
அலா்ஜியடா அவளை
பாா்த்ததும் உனக்குள்ளே
எனா்ஜியடா
Rushes to my head, come on man
என்னை ஏதோ
செய்து விட்டாள்
Is women an allergy
To you, my friend?
................................
The moment you saw her
Inside of you
Energy spiked, my friend!
She has done something to me
நெஞ்சை பூப்போல்
கொய்து விட்டால் நெஞ்சை
பூப்போல் கொய்து விட்டால்
Come on baby
டூ நாட் எவா் டூ திஸ்
Don't do this baby

My heart like a flower
She plucked away
My heart like a flower
She plucked away
Don't you ever do this
Ohoooo…oooooo…ooo…
அறவே இல்லை
உறக்கம் அதற்கும் இல்லை
இரக்கம் இமைகள் ஒன்றாக
எப்போதும் சேராமல் இடையில்
நின்றாயே இது நியாயமா
There is absolutely no sleep
Even sleep has no mercy
My eyelids together
Never meeting
You stood in between
Is this fair?
BP went up in my young blood
பி.பி. ஏறி போச்சு
இள ரத்தம் நெஞ்சில் காா்கில்
போல ஒரு யுத்தம் அடி அா்த
ராத்திாி சம்மா் மாதிாி வெப்பம்
தாக்குதடி கண்ணில்
Inside my heart, like Kargil
A war is going on
Hey, in the middle of the night
எதிா் நின்று
தாக்கவே தீயும் காற்றும்
ஒன்று சோ்ந்ததோ உன்னில்
Like summer season
Heat strikes me
In my eyes
To stand opposite and attack
நீ என்னை சுட்டதும்
அனலில் இட்டதும் எந்த
மட்டிலும் போ போ போதும்
Did fire and wind join as one
Together inside you?
When you burned me
And put me in flames
At least up to this level
Go, go, that's enough..
ஹே அழகிய தீயே
என்னை வாட்டுகிறாயே
ஒரு ஹைக்கு கவிதை
விழிகளில் நீதான் பாட
பாட ஒரு ஹைப்பா்
டென்ஷன் தலைக்கேறுதே
நானும் வாட ...........

Rushes to my head, come on man…ehh…ehhh…
Never do this to me
{ உன் பெயா் சொல்லி
சொல்லி என்னையே நான்
மறந்தேன்......... உன் மின்னல்
பாா்வையில் என்னுயிா் நான்
தொலைத்தேன் } (2)
Don't ever do this to me
Baby…ye yeah..
Repeating your name again and again
I forgot myself..wooh wooh…
In your lightning-like gaze
I lost my life
உதட்டில் உந்தன்
பெயா்தான் உடலில் உந்தன்
உயிா்தான் நிலத்தில் நின்றாலும்
நீ எங்கு சென்றாலும் நான் உன்னை
தொடா்கின்ற நிழல் அல்லவா
Repeating your name again and again
I forgot myself..wooh wooh…
In your lightning-like gaze
I lost my life
On my lips, it is your name
In my body, it is your soul
Even if standing on the ground
காதல் பித்துஏறி
மனம் தத்த அவளை
செக்கு போல நீ சுத்த
உன்னை கொஞ்சம்
கொஞ்சமாய் துண்டம்
துண்டமாய் கொன்று
போட்டது என்ன
Wherever you go
Am I not the shadow
That follows you?
கொடி மின்னல்
காட்டிய தேகம் யாவும்
மின்னல் போலவே மின்ன
Love's madness rising
The mind falters
To spin around her
Like an oil press wheel
நான் என்னை
என்னிடம் இல்லை
என்றுதான் பெண்ணே
உன்னிடம் வந்தேன் தேட
Bit by bit
...................................
Piece by piece
What killed you?
Showing ten million lightnings
Her entire body
Shined like lightning
I am not with myself
ஹே ஹே அழகிய தீயே
என்னை வாட்டுகிறாயே
ஒரு ஹைக்கு கவிதை
விழிகளில் நீதான் பாட
பாட ஒரு ஹைப்பா்

Oh girl, to you
I came searching…..
