ஹே....சா சா சா காதலிச்சா
சம்மதிச்சா இந்த மோனலிசா
அட மெல்ல சிரிச்சா..... என்ன அள்ளி குடிச்சா
நான் கட்டி புடிச்சா......மெல்ல மூச்சடச்சா
கனவு கொடுத்து உறக்கம் பறிச்சா
முத்தம் கொடுத்து மொத்தமா நனைச்சா
Hey.. cha cha cha, she fell in love
She agreed, this Mona Lisa
Ah, she smiled softly... and drank me up whole
When I hugged her tight – she softly lost her breath
She gave me dreams and stole away my sleep
She gave me a kiss and drenched me completely

மடியிலே விழுந்ததே ஒரு நிலா ஹே
இளமைக்கு இன்றுதான் திருவிழா ஹே
A moon fell right into my lap, hey...
Female: Today is truly a festival for youth, hey...
உறவில் விழுந்தாள் இதயம் கலந்தாள்
மயக்கம் வருமோ இங்கே
When one falls into a relationship and hearts mingle
Will a sweet trance overcome us here?
பருவ விருந்தாய் அருவியில் நனைந்தாய்
வெட்கம் போனது இங்கே
You drenched in the waterfall as a youthful feast
Shyness vanished right here
முத்தத்தில் கரையாமல்
சொர்க்கத்தில் திரியாமல்
அம்மம்மா காதலுக்குள்
இன்பம் இங்கு இல்லையே
Without dissolving in kisses
Without wandering in heaven
Oh my, is there no bliss inside love here?
ஹே....சா சா சா காதலிச்சா
சம்மதிச்சா இந்த மோனலிசா
அட மெல்ல சிரிச்சா..... உன்ன அள்ளி குடிச்சா
நீ கட்டி புடிச்சா......கொஞ்சம் மூச்சடச்சா
Hey.. cha cha cha, she fell in love
She agreed, this Mona Lisa
Ah, she smiled softly... and drank you up whole
You embraced me tightly – I lost my breath a little
நெருக்கமாய் இருக்கலாம் அணைக்கலாம் ஹே
உதட்டினால் உயிரையே நனைக்கலாம் ஹேய்
We can stay close and embrace each other, hey...
Female: Drench the very soul with our lips, hey...
கொதிக்கும் உடம்பும் தவிக்கும் மனசும்
எனக்கு தந்தாய் நீயே
A burning body and a longing heart
You gave them both to me
குளிர குளிர குளிக்கும் பொழுதும்
எனக்குள் இருக்கும் தீயே
Even when taking a cold, refreshing bath
The fire inside me still burns
கண்ணோடு துயில் இல்லை
என்னோடு நான் இல்லை
இப்போதும் எனகென்று
ஏதும் இங்கே இல்லையே
There is no sleep in my eyes
I am no longer myself
Even now, nothing here belongs to me alone...
ஹே....சா சா சா காதலிச்சா
சம்மதிச்சா இந்த மோனலிசா
அட மெல்ல சிரிச்சா..... என்ன அள்ளி குடிச்சா
நீ கட்டி புடிச்சா......கொஞ்சம் மூச்சடச்சா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Cha Cha Cha Kaadhalicha' from the movie Janakiraman (1997) is an upbeat and playful romantic duet celebrating the exhilaration of youthful love. The lovers express their deep attraction to one another, comparing the female partner to an alluring 'Mona Lisa' whose simple smile and tight embrace leave the male lead breathless and enchanted. Throughout the track, the lyrics emphasize the overwhelming passion of romance—sleepless nights filled with dreams, stolen kisses, and a fiery longing that cold water cannot extinguish. The song captures a sense of abandonment to love, where shyness disappears and two hearts blend into a festive celebration of youth and passion.
