She mingled into my heart
Just like a twinkling star
And my life has become fulfilled
She opened the ventilator of my heart
So the smoke of worry could drift away
The two of us have become one now
She scanned
The flower of my heart with her thoughts
She gave a meaning
To my life with her love
Lai la lai la lai la lai lai
Lai la lai la lai lai
Lai la lai la lai la lai lai la lai
Hoowa hoowa.. hoowa hoowa...
Hoowa hoowa.. hoowa hoowa...
Hoowa hoowa.. hoowa hoowa...
...
Stepping onto the moon as my stage
I will sing a song
The stars will wink
And clap their hands
(Claps...)
The rainbow will encircle me
With seven rings of welcome
As I sing, the soft clouds
Will be filled with joy
The cloud's thunder is a string of firecrackers
And lightning will snap a photograph
The joy of my life
Has arrived at last!
Heaven and earth are right here...
Lai la lai la lai la lai lai
Lai la lai la lai lai
Lai la lai la lai la lai lai la lai
...
Because I heard some happy news
My heart is singing a song here
My body bounces around
Like a ball upon the ocean waves
When my soul gets trapped
In her sharp, spear-like eyes
It makes me see
Everything turned upside down
I was all alone on a one-way street
Now I will take off like a jet on the runway
For all of time,
With all our love,
We will live together, my darling
Lai la lai la lai la lai lai
Lai la lai la lai lai
Lai la lai la lai la lai lai la lai
She mingled into my heart
Just like a twinkling star
And my life has become fulfilled
Wo.. hooo...
She opened the ventilator of my heart
So the smoke of worry could drift away
The two of us have become one now
Aahaa...
She scanned
The flower of my heart with her thoughts
Chorus: The flower
She gave a meaning
Chorus: She gave
To my life with her love
Chorus: To my life...
Lai la lai la lai la lai lai

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic song expresses the protagonist's jubilant feelings upon falling in love. Using modern Tanglish terms and playful metaphors (like ventilator, scanning, jet, runway, and twinkle star), the protagonist celebrates how love cleared out his worries and brought new purpose and ecstasy to his existence. He imagines nature—the moon, stars, thunder, and lightning—celebrating his joy alongside him.
