Aasai kaiya korthu kolla aasai
Nenjil enakkulla aasai..aasai
Sikkaama nikkaama pandhaaduthae
Aasai mutham koduthida aasai
Katti pidithida aasai..aasai
Sonnaalum en pecha ketkkathadi
Neeyum kitta vara
Thola thottu pakkamaa
Izhuthu katti kolla aasai vandhadhae
Idippil kaiya vechu
Innum konjam pakkama
Muthangal veikka thaan theeradha aasai
Naanum etti nikka
Neeyum vandhu pakkamaa
Urasi nikka ulla aasai vandhadhae
Sundu vral pattu shock adicha maadhiri
High voltage touchukku
Line poda aasai
Thulli thulli varum
Ottu vaangi yekkam thangi
Kann rendum kangaaroo pol thaavudhae
Neeyum paarkka naanum paarkka
Ullara alladudhae
Thaen sottum kaadhal podhadhadi
Tightaana huggum venumadi
Kann pesum kaadhal podhadhadi
En aasai per aasai di
Nee pesum bothu thallai nikka
Naan onnum buththan illaiyadi
Un moochu kaathu enakku
Oxygen pol venumadi
Naan unakkaaga mulusa enna maathika paathen
On kannu rendum en sabadham kalaikudhadi
Yedhyedho panna neram paaarthu kaalam paarthu
Kann rendum thoongaama paarthirukken
Kaiyum odala kaalum odala stuck aagi nikkurendi
Aasai mutham koduthida aasai
Katti pidithida aasai..aasai
Sonnaalum en pecha ..hmm hmm hmm..
A desire, I desire to hold your hand
Inside my heart, a desire... a desire
Without stopping or getting caught, it bounces around
A desire, I desire to give you a kiss
A desire to hold you tight... a desire
Even if I tell it to stop, it won't listen to me, girl
As you come closer
Touching your shoulder, pulling you near
A desire rises to pull you in and hold you tight
Placing my hand on your waist
Drawing you a little closer
There is an endless desire to kiss you
While I stand a little away
You come right beside me
And a desire rises inside to brush against you
Like an electric shock when our little fingers touch
For that high-voltage touch
I desire to make a connection
Leaping and bounding with excitement
Holding on and bearing this yearning
Both my eyes jump around like a kangaroo
When you look and I look back
My heart is tossing and turning inside
Sweet love dripping like honey isn't enough, girl
I need a tight hug, girl
Love spoken only through the eyes isn't enough, girl
My desire is overwhelming greed, girl
To stay far away while you talk
I am no Buddha, girl
The air of your breath
Is needed like oxygen for me, girl
I tried to change myself completely for you
Yet your eyes break every resolution I made, girl
Waiting for the right time and moment to do so many things
I have been watching with wide-awake eyes without sleep
My hands won't move, my legs won't move, I'm standing completely stuck, girl
A desire, I desire to give you a kiss
A desire to hold you tight... a desire
Even if I tell it, it won't listen... hmm hmm hmm...
