Aila aila ai aila aila ai
Aila aila ai aila aila ai
Aila aila ai aila aila ai
Aila aila ai aila aila ai
Made in vennilaaaa…
Un pidiyilae en uyirum irukka
Oar urasalil en vergal siluka
Nee ennil muttkal koithaai
Enathu romanae
Siridhu keerava vizhiyin koorilae manadhai koorava
Mugathin moodiyai thirudi pogava neengaadhae
Enn romanae vaa
Aila aila ai aila aila ai
Aila aila ai aila aila ai
Aila aila ai aila aila ai
Aila aila ai aila aila ai
Konjam konjamai ennai pidhuki
Aila aila eduppayaa..Female :Aila
Thoorigayile ennai kidathi
Vinmeengal vellai adippaya..Female :Aila
Thuppu thulaka varuvaaya
Muthu sithargal hoya
Poo illamal aila vaasam hoya
Nee ingu siruthuvitaai athanaala
Marubadi sirithida nilavugal guthithida
Boomi engilum oli
Ini minsara panjam theerpom sirut huli

Etti paarthidum kaakaigalum

Un keezhae pookum venn pookal
Pookal illai nizhal

Aadai ena un maarbil udutha
Hey veri unnil kandennnn..

Aila Aila Ai Aila Aila Ai
Aila Aila Ai Aila Aila Ai
Aila Aila Ai Aila Aila Ai
Aila Aila Ai Aila Aila Ai
Made in the moonlight...
With my very life resting in your hold,
With a single brush sending chills through my roots,
You plucked away the thorns inside me,
My Roman.
Shall I scratch gently? With the sharpness of your gaze, shall I speak my heart?
Shall I steal away the mask from your face? Do not leave,
Come, my Roman!
Aila Aila Ai Aila Aila Ai
Aila Aila Ai Aila Aila Ai
Aila Aila Ai Aila Aila Ai
Aila Aila Ai Aila Aila Ai
Squeezing me out little by little,
Will you take me, Aila Aila? (Female: Aila)
Placing me upon a paintbrush,
Will you paint the stars white? (Female: Aila)
Will you come to solve this mystery?
O mystic masters of pearl, hoya!
Fragrance without a flower, hoya!
Is it because you shrank in size here?
For you to smile again and moons to bounce around,
Light spreads all over the earth.
From now on, let us solve the power shortage with just a tiny drop!
Aila Aila Ai Aila Aila Ai
Aila Aila Ai Aila Aila Ai
Aila Aila Ai Aila Aila Ai
Aila Aila Ai Aila Aila Ai
Made in the moonlight
Taking me all over your body,
As you apply me, Aila Aila,
Even the crows peeking from afar
Will shut their eyes, dazzled by the shine!
At the edge of the sky, heya,
In soft pink, hoya,
From the rose flower, Aila,
The vibrant color, hoya,
I will sift from the moonlight just for you.
What appears in the glow and shine of your skin
Is a gathering of angels.
The white flowers blooming beneath your feet
Are not flowers, but your shadow.
Aila Aila Ai Aila Aila Ai
Aila Aila Ai, made in the moonlight
Aila Aila Ai Aila Aila Ai
Made in the moonlight
Squeezing the sky dry like crushed pulp,
Crossing the depths of that ocean,
I received my eyes,
To capture the blue from Aila's gaze.
To wear it like a garment across your chest,
Hey, I saw a wild passion in you...
Shall I draw threads from the outline of your lips?
Shall I peel away layers on the wick of love?
Shall sparks scatter upon this cotton wick?
Do not run away,
Come, my genetically made deer... come!
