Onne onnu kanne kannu chella kuttiye..
En kadhal thutta sethu vecha kalla pettiye
Thottu paaka kitta vandha mitta mirase
Un veralu patta vedikkum intha vella pattase
: I for you, you for me sendhaakka tsunami
You for me, I for you sendhakkaa I love you
Hey thulli oodum meenu
Thoondil poduvene
Pulli vecha maane
Kolam poduvene
Koodakulla naanthaan
Kokarakko neethaan
Oosi vedi naanthaan
Oothu vathi neethaan
Oor ooril kaadhal illai endraal
Andha vaanam illai
Indha boomi illai
Nam nenjil kaadhal illai endraal
Aangal aangal illai
Pengal pengal illai
Malayala poovukku maaraapu
Naan ketta yen indha veeraapu
Achani kannale machana saaikatha
Unna pol sevaala ullathil kaaikaathe
Nee aah kaati kitta vandha
Mutha soru thaan ooti viduven
Moonu velaikku baby
Hey thulli oodum meenu
Thoondil poduvene
Pulli vecha maane
Kolam poduvene
Koodakulla naanthaan
Kokarakko neethaan
Oosi vedi naanthaan
Oothu vathi neethaan
Pannadhe nee ennai makkaru
Pakkathil nee vandhu ukkaru
Oru poovil pala vaasam

Irunthaalum avai yaavum
Unai pola manakaathe
Hey mia mia meesakaara
Buddi paalathaan ooti vidava
Poonai kuttikku baby
Onne onnu kanne kannu chella kuttiye..

My one and only, the apple of my eye, my sweet darling...
The secret safe where I keep all my savings of love!
You came close to touch me, my wealthy landlord!
If your finger touches it, this white firecracker will explode!
I for you, you for me, together we are a tsunami!
You for me, I for you, together it is "I love you"!
Hey, you are a fish leaping away...
I will cast my fishing hook to catch you!
You are my spotted deer...
I will connect the dots to draw a kolam (floor pattern)!
I am inside the basket...
And you are the rooster crowing "cock-a-doodle-doo"!
I am the little firecracker...
And you are the incense stick to light it!
If there were no love anywhere in this world,
That sky would not exist,
This earth would not exist.
If there were no love in our hearts,
Men would not truly be men,
Women would not truly be women.
Why drape a veil over a sweet blossom from Kerala?
When I ask for a glance, why this stubborn pride?
Do not knock me over with those sharp, captivating eyes!
Nothing as sweet as you has ever bloomed in my heart!
If you open your mouth wide and come near,
I will feed you mouthfuls of sweet kisses,
Three times a day, baby!
Hey, you are a fish leaping away...
I will cast my fishing hook to catch you!
You are my spotted deer...
I will connect the dots to draw a kolam (floor pattern)!
I am inside the basket...
And you are the rooster crowing "cock-a-doodle-doo"!
I am the little firecracker...
And you are the incense stick to light it!
Do not play stubborn with me,
Come and sit right by my side.
Multiple fragrances in a single flower
Can never exist in this world.
Even if they somehow did,
None would ever smell as sweet as you!
Hey, cat with a cute moustache,
Shall I bottle-feed warm milk,
To my little kitten, baby?
My one and only, the apple of my eye, my sweet darling...
The secret safe where I keep all my savings of love!
Oy oy, you came close to touch me, my wealthy landlord!
Hey, if my finger touches it, this white firecracker will explode!
I for you, you for me, together we are a tsunami!
Ah ah ha... You for me, I for you, together it is "I love you"!
Darling, hey, you are a fish leaping away...
I will cast my fishing hook to catch you!
You are my spotted deer...
I will connect the dots to draw a kolam (floor pattern)!
I am inside the basket...
And you are the rooster crowing "cock-a-doodle-doo"!
I am the little firecracker...
And you are the incense stick to light it!
What is it, darling?
Tell me, my sweet darling...
