Natpilae kaadhal thondrinaal yogam
Ingae ingae ingae
Alai paayum nenjilae kodi aasaigal machi machi

Natpilae kaadhal thondrinaal yogam
Kaadhalai sernthaal koodumae yaavum
Natpilae kaadhal thondrinaal yogam
Ingae ingae ingae
Nee sollaadha bothum unai
Kaiyodu thaanga oru natpillaiyel

In my restless heart, there are millions of desires, buddy, buddy!
Are there even words to express them, buddy?
If love blossoms in friendship, it is a blessing.
When you unite in love, everything falls into place.
If love blossoms in friendship, it is a blessing,
Right here, right here, right here.
In my restless heart, there are millions of desires, buddy, buddy!
Are there even words to express them, buddy?
If love blossoms in friendship, it is a blessing.
When you unite in love, everything falls into place.
If love blossoms in friendship, it is a blessing,
Right here, right here, right here.
Even when you say nothing,
without a friend to hold and support you,
happiness will never be yours.
No matter what anyone says,
a shadow never drowns in water.
Just like that, this love
will never fade, even if life ends.
The acquaintance that began just keeps growing.
This tiny bubble is expanding into an ocean!
Hey, the hesitant eyes are shedding their shyness.
The distance between two hearts is shrinking.
That is why, in friendship, love truly exists, exists, exists!
When you are sleeping on thorns,
it steps forward and tells you to lie on a mat;
and that is truly called love.
When you yearn all by yourself,
it embraces you and finds its fulfillment;
and its beginning is physical desire.
Why do goosebumps rise from head to toe?
It gets confused whether even fingers touching is right.
Secret unspoken words are understood.
The whole body is dripping with sweat.
That is why, in love, desire truly exists, exists, exists!
