இரு கன்னங்களில் மழை பொழிந்தாள்
லாலலலாலா......லாலாலாலா....
Listening to secrets in the darkness of night
Placing one heart into another
Playful intimacy until dawn broke
That song did not end on that day
இரவினில் ரகசியம் கேட்டு
ஓர் இதயத்தில் இதயத்தைப் போட்டு
விடியும் வரை விளையாட்டு
அன்று முடியவில்லை அந்தப் பாட்டு.....
