| Azhagaagha sirichaalae | She smiled so beautifully. |
| Ava kannum rendum pammbaram | Her two eyes are like spinning tops. |
| Adhilae poi vilundhalae | If one falls into them, |
| Thala suthi mayakkam | Head spinning and dizziness... |
| vandhidum | ...will surely arrive. |

ஆஹா காதல்
என்ன அடிச்சி துவைக்க
அடடா தப்பி செல்ல
நினைச்சேன் ஆனா ஆசை
ஒன்னு மனசில் குதிக்க
தானா மாட்டிகிட்டு முழிச்சேன்
Aha, is love something...
...to beat and wash like clothes?
Oh dear, I thought of escaping from it.
அழகாக சிரிச்சாளே
அவ கண்ணு ரெண்டும்
பம்பரம் அதிலே போய்
விழுந்தாலே தலை சுத்தி
மயக்கம் வந்திடும் தெரிஞ்சே
நான் தொலைஞ்சே போனேன்
She smiled so beautifully.
Her two eyes are like spinning tops.
If one falls into them,
Head spinning and dizziness...
...will surely arrive.
ஆஹா காதல்
என்ன அடிச்சி துவைக்க
அடடா தப்பி செல்ல
நினைச்சேன் ஆனா ஆசை
ஒன்னு மனசில் குதிக்க
தானா மாட்டிகிட்டு முழிச்சேன்
Aha, is love something...
...to beat and wash like clothes?
Oh dear, I thought of escaping from it.
தேவதை அழகில்
அவள் ராட்சசி அன்பில்
அவள் நொடியினில்
வருவாள் உடன் மறைவாள்
மின்னலே காலையின் கதிரும்
அவள் குழப்பிடும் புதிரும் அவள்
என் மன கதவை திறந்து விடும்
ஜன்னலே
She is an angel in her beauty,
A demoness in her affection.
She appears in a second,
And vanishes immediately.
Oh lightning-like girl!
என்னோட
எதிர்காலம் நீதானே
நில் உன் நெஞ்சில்
நான் வாழ இடம்
உண்டா சொல்
என்னாச்சு எனக்கு
புடிச்சாச்சு கிறுக்கு
தெரிஞ்சே நான்
தொலைஞ்சே போனேன்
My future...
...is you, wait!
For me to live in your heart,
Tell me if there is space?
What happened to me?
I have caught a madness!
ஆஹா காதல்
என்ன அடிச்சி துவைக்க
அடடா தப்பி செல்ல
நினைச்சேன் ஆஹா
ஆஹா ஆஹா ஆஹா
ஆஹா
Aha, is love something...
...to beat and wash like clothes?
Oh dear, I thought of escaping from it.. aha... aha
Aha aha aha
அடிக்கடி தூக்கம்
கெட அடிதடி நெஞ்சில்
வர இது என்ன வலியா
இல்ல சுகமா சொல்லிடு
மேல் இமை காய்ச்சல் தர
கீழ் இமை மருந்தை தர
உன் முகவரியை
மறைப்பதென்ன தந்திடு
Sleep gets disturbed often,
A conflict erupts inside my heart.
Is this pain,
Or is it pleasure?
Tell me!
ஆளில்லா தீவாக
ஆனேனே நான் அங்கே
நீ வந்தாலே பிழைப்பேனே
வா பேர் தெரியா பூவே
பொய் பேசும் அழகே
தெரிஞ்சே நான்
தொலைஞ்சே போனேன்
Like an uninhabited island,
I have become.
If you come there,
I will survive, come!
ஆஹா காதல்
என்ன அடிச்சி துவைக்க
அடடா தப்பி செல்ல
நினைச்சேன் ஆனா ஆசை
ஒன்னு மனசில் குதிக்க
தானா மாட்டிகிட்டு முழிச்சேன்
தெரிஞ்சே நான் தொலைஞ்சே
போனேன் ஆஹா ஆஹா
யே ஆஹா
