Why is it that my eyes keep asking only for your face?
Why is it that my feet keep walking to your place?
The words that came to speak with longing today...
...are taking a vacation.
At the speed of a hundred crore running deer,
like that, my heart is beating.
Hey girl, on the tongue, nose, speech, and breath,
don't you understand this?
In your ways, style, walk, and attire,
I am swooning, don't you know?
Hey girl, standing, squirming, crushing, approaching...
don't you see a fire?
Everyday languishing, tucking, hiccuping, pulling away...
is there no release?
Desire is uncontrollable, and that fire too will not subside.
Hey girl, rice without salt has no taste.
Is time being spent just staring at the mirror?
Is it happening like this every day at your home?
Is this change in daily routine because of love?
Are all the nights dawning so quickly?
Has a demon descended violently with age?
Does it start its work when one is off guard?
Just by looking, it feels like Pazhamuthircholai,
oh, it asks one to taste it.
Come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come.
..............................
Does a silence slowly speak to the heart?
Does a shyness usually cast a smile?
At times when one falters,
a change in weather walking in the breeze,
does a cold fever strike?
Does an incomprehensible yearning bloom like a flower?
If a flower is touched, does it burn like fire?
There are no rituals for a closed flower; it must be worn.
Come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come.
Why is it that my eyes keep asking only for your face?
Why is it that my feet keep walking to your place?
The words that came to speak with longing today...
...are taking a vacation.
At the speed of a hundred crore running deer,
like that, my heart is beating.
Hey girl, on the tongue, nose, speech, and breath,
don't you understand this?
In your ways, style, walk, and attire,
I am swooning, don't you know?
Hey girl, standing, squirming, crushing, approaching...
don't you see a fire?
Everyday languishing, tucking, hiccuping, pulling away...
is there no release?
Desire is uncontrollable, and that fire too will not subside.
Hey girl, rice without salt has no taste.
