இன்பலோக சிங்காரி நெம்பர் ஒண்ணு லேடி
Chalo Delhi, come on Lilly, what?
Delhi is the capital of India,
From now on, Lilly is the queen of my heart forever!
A beauty from the world of bliss, the number one lady,
நீ பந்துபோல எகிறிப்பாயும் வல்லி!
உன் அன்பு வார்த்தைதான் எனக்கு மியூசிக்கு
உன் அழகுமுகம் செய்வதெல்லாம் மேஜிக்கு
You bounce like a ball, you stylish trickster!
Your loving words are music to me,
Everything your beautiful face does is magic to me!
Your loving words are music to me,
Everything your beautiful face does is magic to me!
உன் பார்வை பாடிக்கு வெரி ஹீட்டு
தெரிஞ்சுக்கோ மீறிப் போனா
எரிஞ்சுபோகும் புஷ்கோட்டு
இங்கிலாண்டுக்கு ராஜதானி லண்டன்
என் இதயத்துக்கு உன் அன்பு எம்டன்!
Your gaze gives my body intense heat,
Understand this well!
If it exceeds the limit, even the coat will burn!
London is the capital of England,
And your love is like an Emden ship to my heart!
எதுக்கு இப்படி ஆடுறே
என்ன நெனச்சு வாடுறே
நெருங்கி வந்தா ரெண்டு மனசும் தனாதன்!
Why are you dancing like this?
What are you thinking that makes you wither?
When two hearts come together, they become unified.
கண்களுக்கு இமயமலை வெரி ஹைட்டு
மெய்க் காதலுக்கு நீயும் நானும் சரிவெய்ட்டு!
For the eyes, even the Himalayas feel very hot,
For true love, both you and I...
Are an equal match!
அப்படியே வாழ்ந்திடலாம் ஆல்ரைட்டு
நீ அன்புமீறிச் சொன்னசொல்லு ஹைலைட்டு
அவர் இந்தியாவின் ராஜதானி டில்லி
இனி என்றும் என் இதயராணி லில்லி!
யூ சில்லி!
We can live just like this, alright!
The word you spoke out of abundant love is the highlight!
He says Delhi is the capital of India,
Male: From now on, Lilly is the queen of my heart forever...
Female: You silly!
ஹெல்புக்காக வந்த லில்லி ஒய்பு
இனி பல்பு அண்டு சுச்சு நம்ப லைப்பு
சிங்கார ரிங்கு நான் ரங்கூனு வைரம் நீ
நம் ஜோடி உலகில் புது டைப்பு!
Lilly, who came for help, is now my wife,
From now on, our life is bright pulp and joyful match!
Female: I am a decorative ring, a diamond from Rangoon,
You and I are a unique type of couple in this world!
காஷ்மீருக்கு ராஜதானி ஸ்ரீநகர்
நம் காதல் வாழ்வின் ராஜதானி அன்பு நகர்
கலகலவென சிரித்து நாம் மனசுபோல நடக்கலாம்
கலந்தே பின்னே வளரும் ஹேப்பி பார் எவர்...
Srinagar is the capital of Kashmir,
The capital of our love life is the City of Affection!
Let us laugh joyfully and act according to our hearts' desire,
Together, our growth will be happy forever!
