Why am I feeling dizzy?
Why am I trembling?
Why, what has happened to me?
Why am I sweating?
Why am I so restless?
Why am I breathing so heavily?
Hey, in this moment I fell for you
Today I felt true bliss in you
I traced my shyness with my toes
And I took flight, ooh oh
Until yesterday, I was sensible
Seeing you, I wandered around crazy in love
At night, I lost my sleep and came undone
Why am I feeling dizzy?
Why am I trembling?
Why, what has happened to me?
Hey hey hey, why am I sweating?
Why am I so restless?
Why am I breathing so heavily?
Do you agree to wrap yourself
in my saree like a blanket and sleep?
Do you agree to cast away shyness
and deepen this longing?
Do you agree to let me
make a home in your hair?
Do you agree to come close to me
and give me sweet shivers?
Holding each other close with our hands intertwined,
I agree to sleep.
When death arrives, to search only for you,
I agree.
Holding you gently in my palm,
I agree to live.
Resting you on my shoulder,
I agree to walk along.
Why am I feeling dizzy?
Why am I trembling?
Why, what has happened to me?
Hey hey hey, why am I sweating?
Why am I so restless?
Why am I breathing so heavily?
...
In this flower garden called love,
shall we become butterflies?
Hopping from flower to flower,
shall we drown in joy?
Locked inside the cage called love,
shall we become lifelong prisoners?
Committing crimes of desire every single day,
shall we break every rule?
The dazzling sight of a hundred thousand lightning flashes,
I see in you.
The girl deeply in love,
I see right in front of me.
Whenever I look at any woman,
I see only you.
Loving you again and again,
I am going to kill you with love.
Why am I feeling dizzy?
Why am I trembling?
Why, what has happened to me?
Why am I sweating?
Why am I so restless?
Why am I breathing so heavily?
Hey, in this moment I fell for you
Today I felt true bliss in you
At night, I lost my sleep and came undone
Why am I feeling dizzy?
Why am I trembling?
Why, what has happened to me?
Hey hey hey, why am I sweating?
Why am I so restless?
Why am I breathing so heavily?

Love is directly compared to a garden ('Kaadhal ennum poongaavanathil') and a cage ('Kaadhal ennum koondil').

“Latcham minnal thondrum kaatchi”

The visual sensation of seeing a partner is exaggerated as seeing a hundred thousand flashes of lightning.
