En bodhai da nee
I’m high on you
Rap goddess…
Arugil nee varum antha

Thaangi pidikka pazhagi kadhaikka
Uyira kudukka unnai rasikka
Ennai vitta yaarum illai
Un manadhai vendru sella
Vaarthaigalil pesa pesa
Saaral pola en mel veesa
Minnal pola vanthavanae
Manasil bodhai thandhavanae

I’m high on you
I’m high on you
En bodhai neeyae…
You are my addiction, boy
I'm high on you
Rap Goddess…
In the moment when
you come near, I fly
I slowly forget myself
I fall into your dimples
I blossom with your smile
I blush and turn red with shyness
I lose my sleep because of you, hey
To hold you close, to talk and get to know you,
To give my life, to admire you,
There is no one other than me
to win over your heart
As you speak in sweet words,
raining over me like a gentle drizzle,
You came like a flash of lightning,
and made my heart intoxicated!
Don't leave me,
Don't walk away,
You are my addiction,
You are my addiction,
You are my addiction!
What magic did you cast
to sweep me off my feet?
With a silent kiss,
you made me fall completely for you.
A little plant of love inside me,
you have nurtured and grown.
Everything I wished to say,
you have spoken it yourself.
It was your love that made me
understand the sound of silence.
Playing some magical trick,
you slipped into my heart.
Every single day and for all of time,
we must live together as one.
I feel it
Believe it
Breathe it
High on you
I'm crucified
Even when I close my eyes and think,
the one standing before me is you.
In those moments when I lean my head
and rest against you, it is you.
Not knowing if it's a dream or reality, I am confused.
I float in my desires,
I yearn to hold your hand,
I melt whenever I look at you.
I pray that you and I stay together,
walking without parting for a lifetime.
I only want you,
you are all I need,
I only want you.
Don't leave me,
Don't walk away,
You are my addiction,
You are my addiction,
You are my addiction!
I'm high on you
I'm high on you
I'm high on you
Love... this blind,
reckless love!
My hair being tousled
by your fingers is pure bliss.
When you hold me tight in an embrace,
I find my strength.
Your voice now sounds like sweet music.
Don't raise your eyebrows,
don't make me lose my balance,
Don't wink and walk away,
don't slowly kill me with love.
Love the way you look at me
When I'm gazing back at you
The way you breathe, a symphony
You take me out to ecstasy
Don't leave me,
Don't walk away,
You are my addiction,
You are my addiction,
You are my addiction!
I'm high on you
I'm high on you
You are my addiction…
