{ அடடா அடடா
உனை போல் தேவதையே
ஹே இதுநாள் வரை என்

Ah, oh my!
An angel like you, hey
Until this day, my
Eyelids have never seen (repeat twice)
ஆசைகளை இருவரும்
பேசும் நேரம் இதுதானே
பேரழகில் அனுஅனுவாக
நாளும் கரைவேனே
Where both of us speak of our desires
Is this the time?
In your immense beauty, atom by atom
I melt every day
ஆண் & பெண் :
என் அன்பே
நீ எந்தன் பிறவியின் பெறும்
பயனே

Ah, oh my!
An angel like you, hey
Until this day, my
Eyelids have never seen
அடடா அடடா
உனை போல் தேவதையே
ஹே இதுநாள் வரை என்
இமைகள் காணலையே
Morning and evening
We will roam holding hands
We will spend time just talking
We will lie down in the lap of smiles
காலையும் மாலையும்
கைகளை கோர்த்து திரிவோம்
பேசியே பொழுதை கழிப்போம்
புன்னகை மடியில் படுப்போம்
You are half, I am half
In our union, we will discover the rest
We will walk leaning on each other's shoulders
We will completely forget even to sleep
பாதி நீ பாதி நான்
கூடலில் மீதி அறிவோம்
தோளிலே சரிந்தே நடப்போம்
தூங்கவும் மறவே மறப்போம்
Closing our eyes
We will search for ourselves
In the street of moonlight
We will run like children
கண்களை மூடியே
நம்மை நாம் தேடுவோம்
வெண்ணிலா வீதியில்
பிள்ளைபோல் ஓடுவோம்
Without parting even for a second
Without knowing an end, we will love
நொடியும் விலகாமல்
முடிவே தெரியாமல்
விரும்புவோம்
Ah, oh my!
An angel like you, hey
Until this day, my
Eyelids have never seen
அடடா அடடா
உனை போல் தேவதையே
