Iravugalil iravugalil

Mudhal muraiyaai yengugiren

Female :Aaaaa…….aa.aaa……aaa…

Male :Nilavoliyil unai ninaithu

Thuli thuliyaai thungugiren

Podhum vedhanai

Pennae unai

Ipothae paarthaaga vendum

Pongum kaadhalai

Sollum varai

Kaatrodu kaatraaga vendum

Aruginilae un aruginilae

Mudhal muraiyaai yengugiren

Nilavoliyil unai ninaithu

Thuli thuliyaai thungugiren

This is a bluesy song

You got bluey eyes

Vendum vendum nee

But dont hypnotize

I will pay the price

Mamakku neram right

Oh..oh..right right right

Ne enthan lover girl

Unnodu i want to dance

Nee enthan icy swirl

Ennodu why dont u dance

Un kangal enai kavarndhu..

Oh..dhu dhu dhu ..kolluthae…

Oru sol nee sonnaal

Vendam endra solven

Nee ketkum ondrai

Vaanga engum selven

Vidai vendaamalae

Kelvi naan ketkiren

Bathil vanthaalumae

Vaangaamal pogiren

Kazhuthu changiliyil en peyarai

Ezhuthi nee korkanum

Thudikkum un idhayam pesuvathai

Arugil naan ketkanum

Nerungi naan varugiren

Virumbiyae karaigiren

Podhum vedhanai

Pennae unai

Ipothae paarthaaga vendum

Pongum kaadhalai

Sollum varai

Kaatrodu kaatraaga vendum

Iravugalil iravugalil

Mudhal muraiyaai yengugiren

Nilavoliyil unai ninaithu

Thuli thuliyaai thungugiren..ohh..

...

Through the nights, in the lonely nights,

for the first time, I am longing.

Female: Ah... ah... ah...

Male: Thinking of you in the moonlight,

I drift off to sleep, bit by bit.

Enough of this heartache!

Girl, I must

see you right now.

Until I express

my overflowing love,

I want to become one with the breeze.

Near you, right beside you,

for the first time, I am yearning.

Thinking of you in the moonlight,

I drift off to sleep, bit by bit.

This is a bluesy song,

you got blue-ish eyes.

I want you, I need you,

but don't hypnotize.

I will pay the price,

the time is right for this guy.

Oh... oh... right, right, right!

You are my lover girl,

with you, I want to dance.

You are my icy swirl,

why don't you dance with me?

Your eyes captivate me,

oh... and take my breath away...

If you ask me for anything,

would I ever refuse?

Whatever you wish for,

I will go anywhere to get it.

Without even needing an answer,

I keep asking questions.

Even when an answer arrives,

I walk away without taking it.

Engraved on your necklace chain,

you must wear my name.

To the whispers of your beating heart,

I want to listen from up close.

I am drawing closer,

happily melting away.

Enough of this heartache!

Girl, I must

see you right now.

Until I express

my overflowing love,

I want to become one with the breeze.

Through the nights, in the lonely nights,

for the first time, I am longing.

Thinking of you in the moonlight,

I drift off to sleep, bit by bit... oh...
