என் போதைடா நீ
ஐ ஆம் ஹை ஆன் யூ
You are my intoxication, man
I’m high on you
............................
Rap goddess…
அருகில் நீ வரும்
அந்த நொடியில் நான் பறக்கிறேன்
மெல்ல என்னை மறக்கிறேன்
உன் கன்னம் குழியில் விழுகிறேன்
சிரிப்பாலே மலர்கிறேன்
வெட்கத்திலே சிவக்கிறேன்
தூக்கம் உன்னால் தொலைக்கிறேன் ஹே
The moment you come near me
In that moment I fly
I slowly forget myself
I fall into your dimples
I bloom through your smile
I turn red out of shyness
I lose my sleep because of you, hey
தாங்கி பிடிக்க பழகி கதைக்க
உயிரை குடுக்க உன்னை ரசிக்க
என்னை விட்டா யாரும் இல்லை
உன் மனதை வென்று செல்ல
வார்த்தைகளில் பேச பேச
சாரல் போல என் மேல் வீச
மின்னல் போல வந்தவனே
மனசில் போதை தந்தவனே
To hold you, get used to talking with you
To give my life, to admire you
There is no one except me
To win over your heart
As words keep flowing
Blowing over me like a gentle drizzle
O one who came like lightning
O one who intoxicated my heart
{விட்டு போகதே
தள்ளி செல்லாதே
என் போதை நீயே
என் போதை நீயே
என் போதை நீயே} (2)
Do not leave me
Do not move away
You alone are my intoxication
You alone are my intoxication
You alone are my intoxication
என்ன மாயம் செய்து
எனை மயக்கி விட்டாய்
சத்தம் இல்லா ஒரு முத்தத்தால்
என்னை கவுத்து விட்டாய்
காதல் செடி ஒன்று எனக்குள்ளே
வளர்த்து விட்டாய்
நான் பேச நினைப்பதெல்லாம்
நீயே பேசி விட்டாய்
Do not leave me
Do not move away
You alone are my intoxication
You alone are my intoxication
You alone are my intoxication
What magic did you perform
And cast a spell on me
With a silent kiss
மௌனத்தின் சத்தம் புரிய வைத்தது
உந்தன் காதலே
ஏதோ மந்திரம் தந்திரம் செய்து
உள்ளே நுழைந்துட்டியே
நாளும் பொழுதும் காலம் முழுக்கும்
வாழனும் ஒன்றாகத்தான்
You made me fall head over heels
A plant of love inside me
You have cultivated
Everything I thought of speaking
You spoke it yourself
It made me understand the sound of silence
I feel it
Believe it
Breathe it
High on you
I’m crucified
That love of yours
By performing some magic and trickery
You entered inside
Every day, every moment, for a lifetime
We must live together as one
விழி மூடி யோசித்தாலும்
முன் நிற்பது நீயே
தலை சாய்ந்து ஒதுங்கும்
அந்த நேரங்களில் நீயே
கனவா நிஜமா தெரியாம குழம்புறேன்
ஆசையிலே மிதக்குறேன்
பார்க்கும்போது கரையிறேன்
வேண்டிக்கிறேன் நீயும் நானும் தொடரனும்
பிரியாமல் நடக்கணும் ஜென்மத்துக்கும்
நீ மட்டும் வேண்டும்
நீ மட்டும் போதும்
நீ மட்டும் வேண்டும்
I feel it
Believe it
Breathe it
High on you
I’m crucified
Even if I think with closed eyes
You are the one standing before me
When leaning my head and relaxing
During those times, it is you
I get confused not knowing if it's a dream or reality
I float in desires
I yearn to hold your hand
I melt when I look at you
{விட்டு போகதே
தள்ளி செல்லாதே
என் போதை நீயே
என் போதை நீயே
என் போதை நீயே} (2)
I pray that you and I should continue together
Walking without separating for lifetimes
I want only you
Only you are enough
I want only you
I’m high on you
Do not leave me
I’m high on you
Do not move away
I’m high on you
You alone are my intoxication
காதலே கண்மூடிதனமான
இந்த காதலே
என் கூந்தல் உன் விரல்கள்
கலைவது ஒரு சுகமே
கட்டி அணைக்கும்போது
கிடைக்கும் எனக்கு பலமே
உன் குரல் இனி இனிமை இசையாக ஒலிக்கிறதே
You alone are my intoxication
You alone are my intoxication
Do not leave me
Do not move away
You alone are my intoxication
You alone are my intoxication
You alone are my intoxication
புருவங்கள் தூக்காதே
அங்கே என்னை சாய்க்காதே
கண்ணடித்து போகாதே
மெல்ல என்னை கொள்ளாதே
I’m high on you
I’m high on you
I’m high on you
Love, blind and intense
Love the way you look at me
When I’m gazin’ back at you
The way you breathe a symphony
You take me out to ecstasy
This love
My hair, by your fingers
Being messied is a bliss
When hugging tightly
{விட்டு போகதே
தள்ளி செல்லாதே
என் போதை நீயே
என் போதை நீயே
என் போதை நீயே} (2)
The strength I receive
Your voice sounds like sweet music now
Do not raise your eyebrows
Do not tilt me with your palms
Do not winking and walk away
I’m high on you
Do not kill me slowly
I’m high on you
Love the way you look at me
என் போதை நீயே....
When I’m gazin’ back at you
En bodhai da nee
You are my intoxication, man
I’m high on you
I’m high on you

Beyond the translation

The lyrics blend urban English expressions with romantic Tamil verses, comparing the lover's impact to magic, lightning, and a gentle drizzle.
