Eah vaanam ellam kaadhal grafitte
Izhukkudhadee undhan heartil ulla gravity
Parandhidavaa naan vaan melae
Vilundhidavaa un nenjullae
Kutti kutti kannu rendum portal aah?..
Illa rendum en bodhai bottle aah?..
Aval vali unil vilundhen total aah

Harla farla
Baby girl !
When you look into my eyes
I can feel my heart skipping a beat
Oh you got the move, so sweet..
You dont know what you’re doing to mee
Hello mister millitary

Oru kanam oru kaavalkaariyaai

When you look into my eyes
I can feel my heart skipping a beat
Oh you got the move, so sweet
You dont know what you’re doing to mee

…………………………..
Hey, the whole sky is covered in love graffiti!
The gravity in your heart is pulling me in, girl!
Shall I fly up into the sky?
Shall I fall right into your heart?
Are those cute little eyes portals?
Or are they bottles of intoxication for me?
Through them, I fell for you completely!
Harla farla
Is that rat-a-tat-tat the racing rate of my heart?
Is it a sudden burst of fire?
Or no, is this a battle of love?
Harla farla
Baby girl!
When you look into my eyes,
I can feel my heart skipping a beat.
Oh, you got the moves, so sweet...
You don't know what you're doing to me!
Hello, Mr. Military!
What happened to your proud, swaggering walk?
Aha... my lover in the khaki uniform,
You've completely crushed and crumpled it!
...
My body belongs to the nation,
But my heart belongs entirely to you, girl!
Though thorns line the entire path,
Your heart is my soft resting bed, girl!
Shall I stand back-to-back with you?
Shall I look at my reflection in your eyes and feel beautiful?
There may be chaos behind our backs,
Yet the whole world is right in front of me!
One moment, a guardian on duty,
The next moment, a girl in love,
You enchant me with your playful roles!
Harla farla
Hmm-mmm
All day long in the chariot of war,
And in the moonlit night, a gentle shower of kisses!
Shall we cross the boundaries in between?
Harla farla
Baby girl!
When you look into my eyes,
I can feel my heart skipping a beat.
Oh, you got the moves, so sweet
You don't know what you're doing to me!
Baby girl, the moment I saw you,
I was completely dazed and swept off my feet!
If you ever walk away from me,
My heart will surely shatter into pieces...
