எனக்கொரு ஆசை
எனக்கொரு ஆசை
எனக்கொரு ஆசை இருக்கு
I have a desire
I have a desire...
I have a desire
எனக்கொரு ஆசை
எனக்கொரு ஆசை
எனக்கொரு ஆசை இருக்கு
To talk, spend time together, and understand each other
And once we like each other, to fall in love
To kiss and hold each other tightly until morning
She is my desire
பேசி பழகி பார்த்து புரிஞ்சுக்கனும்
புடிச்ச அப்புறம் கா.....தலிக்கோனும்
முத்தம் குடுத்து காலம்பூரா அணைச்சிக்கனும்
என் ஆச அவள
I have a desire
I have a desire...
I have a desire
எனக்கொரு ஆசை
எனக்கொரு ஆசை
எனக்கொரு ஆசை இருக்கு
I have a desire
I have a desire...

எனக்கொரு ஆசை
எனக்கொரு ஆசை
எனக்கொரு ஆசை இருக்கு
I saw her
She is none other than... you...
You took a place in my heart
Both: The desires I harbored
I will always keep them
அவள கண்டேனே அவ வேற
யாரும் இல்ல......நீதான்.....
இடம் புடிச்ச மனசில
இருவர் :
ஆசை ஆசை வச்சிருந்தேன்
அத எப்பவும் வச்சிருப்பேன்
Look over there, a river is flowing
Along the riverbank, me with you
Shedding shyness and letting desires flow
Yet the heart hesitates
அதோ அங்கே ஓடுது ஆறு
ஆத்தோரமா உன்கூட நான்
வெட்கம் விட்டு ஆசைய வீச
மனசும் தயங்குதே
Who expressed love first?
Asking questions, we waited
Without fear, holding our heads high
When the truth was spoken...
Is this a dream or reality...
I pinched myself and checked...
I have a desire
காதல் முதல் சொன்னது யாரு.....
கேள்வி கேட்டு காத்திருந்தோம்
பயம் இல்லாம நெஞ்ச நிமித்தி
உண்மைய பேசுன....
கனவா இது நிஜமாயின்னு
கிள்ளி பார்த்தும் கேட்டேன்
எனக்கு ஒரு ஆசை இருக்கு
[Vocalizing]

ஹா......ஆஅ.....ஆ....ஆ......ஆஅ....

ஹா.....ஆ....ஆ....

அவ கழுத்தில முடிச்சிக்க ஆசை

I held so many desires in my heart
I will cherish them forever
ஆசை ஆசை வச்சிருந்தேன்
அத எப்பவும் வச்சிருப்பேன்
Falling onto your lap, my affectionate one
I will tell you stories...
பாச கார உன் மடியில் விழுந்து
கதைகள் சொல்லுவேன்.....
A little baby just like you
Will you give birth to one for me, dear?
If you say no to this, it would be a pity
Will this boy even survive?
உன்ன போல ஒரு சின்ன பாப்பா
பெத்து தருவியாப்பா
இல்லனுதா சொன்ன பாவம்
பையன் தாங்குவேன் நான்
When begged and lovingly coaxed,
You held my hand tightly...
I have a desire
Both: I have a desire...
Female: I have a desire
