Ayayayayo aanandhamae

Unnai mudhal murai kanda nodiyinil
Thanni kulla vizhunthen
Andru vizhunthavan innum ezhumbala
Mella mella karainthen
Karai sera neeyum kaiyil yentha vaa .. aa
Uyir kaadhalodu naanum neendhava .. aa

Oh, what pure joy!
Has just begun deep in my heart!
A billion rainbows
Are gathering one after another!
In this gentle drizzle of love,
My whole body is drenched!
A sudden longing rises in me,
Come, come, let us talk!
Oh my... oh my...
Oh my...
The moment I saw you for the first time,
I fell deep into the water!
Having fallen that day, I haven't risen since,
Slowly, slowly, I have melted away.
Come, lift me in your hands to reach the shore,
Or shall I keep swimming with love in my soul?
What my eyes saw was only half,
My imagination made up the rest!
It touches me... it burns me... oh, my heart...
Oh, what pure joy!
Has just begun deep in my heart!
My eyes exist only to admire you—
I was born just to say that!
My arms exist to touch and embrace you—
I gathered the courage to hold you close!
"What are my feet for?" I ask myself,
Looking for the date we can walk together!
To place the kumkum (sacred red powder) on your forehead,
And let joy overflow in our young hearts,
Shall I come slowly... and give it to you?
Oh, what pure joy!
Has just begun deep in my heart!
A billion rainbows
Are gathering one after another!
In this gentle drizzle of love,
My whole body is drenched!
A sudden longing rises in me,
Come, come, let us talk!
Oh my...
