ஐ லவ் யூ
I love you...
...............
...
ஏ காதல்
ஜன்னல்கள் மூடாமல்
நேற்று பூவே
சொன்னாயே ஐ லவ் யூ
காம்பில் பூக்கின்ற பூவெல்லாம்
பாவம் கண்ணே
சொல்வாயா ஹவ் ஆர் யூ
Yeah love
Without closing the windows
Oh flower, you said yesterday
I love you
All the flowers blooming on stalks
Are so innocent, my dear
Will you tell me, how are you?
சுவாசமே வா...
சொர்க்கமே வா....
சுற்றலாம் வா....
தேசம் தாண்டி வா.....
காதலே பேஷன்
வாலிப சீசன்
மாறும் உன்னாலே
வாசம் கொண்டு வா
Come, my breath...
Come, my paradise...
Come, let's wander around...
Come, crossing countries...
Love is fashion...
Youth is a season...
Before it changes
Bring fragrance and come...
கிளியோபாட்ரா எந்தன்
கண்ணில் அல்ட்ரா
மாடர்ன் லேசர் கீற்றா
என்னை காதலி
கிளியோபாட்ரா எந்தன்
கண்ணில் அல்ட்ரா
மாடர்ன் லேசர் கீற்றா
என்னை காதலி

Hey hey heyhey eyyy
Hey hey heyhey eyyy
Hey hey heyhey eyyy
Hey hey heyhey eyyy
கண்கள் ரெண்டும் சேர்ந்து
காதல் சொன்ன போதும்
வார்த்தைக்காக தடுமாறினாய்
Even when both eyes met
And spoke of love
You stumbled for words
காற்றை போல வாழ்ந்தேன்
கட்டி போட்ட பின்னே
எந்தன் நெஞ்சை இடம் மாற்றினாய்
I lived freely like the wind
After tying me up
You shifted the place of my heart
வானிலே மேகம்
பாடுதே தாகம்
காதல்தான் இங்கே
காணவில்லையா
The clouds in the sky
Sing of yearning
The lover here,
Can't you see him?
ஜுவாலையாய் நெஞ்சில்
வீசினாய் பெண்ணே
நாளை நாம் வாழ
ஜீவன் கொண்டு வா
Like a flame in my heart
You blew over me, girl
For us to live tomorrow
Bring life and come
கிளியோபாட்ரா எந்தன்
கண்ணில் அல்ட்ரா
மாடர்ன் லேசர் கீற்றா

மாடர்ன் லேசர் கீற்றா
என்னை காதலி
Cleopatra in my eyes, ultra-
Modern laser beam, love me!
Cleopatra in my eyes, ultra-
Modern laser beam, love me!
கொஞ்சம் நின்று பேசி
கொல்லை செய்யும் அன்பே
முத்தம் வைக்க முகம் காட்டவா
Talking a little bit here
Oh beloved who robs my heart
To place a kiss
Shall I show my face?
புது சாரல் போல வீசும்
ஜாக்கெட் போட்ட பூவே
நேரில் வந்தால் முகம் வேர்க்குமா
Breezing like a fresh drizzle
Oh flower wearing a jacket
If you come in person
Will your face sweat?
பூவிலே வாசம்
தோனலாம் நேசம்
வாலிப தேசம் பார்த்தும் ஓடிவா
Fragrance in the flower
Love can be seen
Seeing the country of youth
Run and come here
காதலி பேசும்
வார்த்தை சந்தோசம்
ஆதலால் பூவே வா வா பேச வா
The words spoken by the lover
Bring happiness
Therefore, oh flower,
Come, come, come to talk...
கிளியோபாட்ரா எந்தன்
கண்ணில் அல்ட்ரா
