லுக் இன்டூ மை ஐஸ், லுக் இன்டூ மை ஐஸ்
ஐ ஃபீல் ஹை, ஐ ஃபீல் ஹை, ஐ ஃபீல் ஹை, ஆம் ஐ ஆன் ஸ்கை
ஐ ஃபீல் ஹை, ஐ ஃபீல் ஹை, ஐ ஃபீல் ஹை, ஆம் ஐ ஆன் ஸ்கை
Look into my eyes
Look into my eyes
I feel high, I feel high
I feel high, am I in the sky?
I feel high, I feel high
I feel high, am I in the sky?
என் உயிரே
என் நிகரே
உன் அருகே
என் நிழலே
My life
My equal
Near you
My shadow
இமைக்காறியே என்னை இழைத்தாயடி
கடை பார்வையால் எண்ணம் கரைத்தாயடி
மழை சாரலே என்னை அழைத்தாயடி
நனைக்காமலே நெஞ்சம் நிறைத்தாயடி
O dark-eyelashed girl, you carved me
With a side glance, you dissolved my thoughts
O rain drizzle, you called out to me
Without even drenching me, you filled my heart
கோதும் உன் கைவிரல்
போதும் பேரன்பே
யாதும் நீ என்பதால்
சோகம் ஏதிங்கே
Your fingers caressing me
Is enough, my supreme love
Since you are everything to me
Where is room for sadness here?
ஓ மொழி ஏதும் முனகாமல்
பசிதாகம் உணராமல்
உன் கண்கள்
பார்த்து கிடக்கவா
Oh, without muttering any words
Without feeling hunger or thirst
Shall I lie down staring into your eyes?
பிடிவாதம் குறையாமல் நொடி நேரம்
விலகாமல் காதோரம் முத்தம் பதிக்கவா
சேரும் கடல்... ஆகும் ஊடல்
Without reducing my stubbornness
Without moving away even for a moment
Shall I imprint a kiss near your ear?
காற்றில் நீராகவே
மூச்சில் மோதிடவா
நேரம் பாராமலே
காதல் செய்திடவா
Bodies merging like joining seas
ஏய் உரையாடல் குறையாமல்
வயதோடும் வளையாமல் காலங்கள்
தின்று தீர்க்கவா
அதிகாரம் எனதாகி அதிகாலை
நமதாகி தேநீர் நீ போட்டு கொண்டு வா
Becoming water floating in the wind
Shall I collide with your breath?
Without keeping track of time
Shall we make love?
என் மூச்சிலே..உன் கூச்சலே
Hey, without our conversations fading
Without bending to the weight of age
Shall we consume time itself?
With authority becoming mine
And the early morning belonging to us
Will you make and bring me some tea?
லுக் இன்டூ மை ஐஸ், லுக் இன்டூ மை ஐஸ்
ஐ ஃபீல் ஹை, ஐ ஃபீல் ஹை, ஐ ஃபீல் ஹை, வென் யூ ஆர் மை சைட்
ஐ ஃபீல் ஹை, ஐ ஃபீல் ஹை, ஐ ஃபீல் ஹை, வென் யூ ஆர் மை சைட்
My breath holds your shy excitement...
என் உயிரே
என் நிகரே
உன் அருகே
என் நிழலே
Look into my eyes
Look into my eyes
I feel high, I feel high
I feel high, when you are by my side
I feel high, I feel high
I feel high, when you are by my side

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This track from the movie 'Selfie' (2022) captures an intoxicating, euphoric celebration of romance and intimacy. The narrator describes love as a state of feeling 'high', where time loses its meaning and physical sensations blend into pure emotion. Through delicate imagery of gentle rain, quiet early mornings, caresses, and shared tea, the song celebrates finding a soulful partner who completes one's identity.

“Imaikkariyae ennai izhaithaayadi / Kadai paarvaiyal ennam karaithaayadi / Mazhai charalae ennai azhaithaayadi / Nanaikamalae nenjam niraithaayadi”
