இவ என் ஆளு....இவ என் ஆளு
இவ என் ஆளு....இவ என் ஆளு
எப்பேர்பட்ட அழகு அழகு
ரிப்பேர் ஆச்சு மனசு மனசு
ஓரக்கண்ணால் சிரிச்சு உசுர
ஓட்டி போனாலே
She is my girl... she is my girl
She is my girl... she is my girl
What a grand beauty, beauty
My mind got repaired, repaired
Smiling from the corner of her eyes
She took my soul away
சென்டிமீட்டர் வெலகி இருந்தால்
சென்டிமென்டா கலங்கி போவேன்
கண்ணா பின்னா உலகம் ஒன்னு
காட்டிபுட்டாலே
If she stays even a centimeter away
I get emotionally distressed
A chaotic, crazy world
She tied me up in
பழைய ரசம் போன கண்ணாடி
பிம்பம் போல் இருந்தேன்
இப்போ ஹை பிக்ஸ்சல் போட்டோவா
ஆளே மாறிபுட்டேன்
Like an image in an old mirror with faded coating
That was how I used to be
Now like a high-pixel photograph
My entire self has transformed
கவலை இவள பார்க்கும்போது
பறந்தே போகும்
கவிதை எழுது தீர்க்க போறேன்
விதவிதம்மா
When I look at her, my worries
Fly away completely
I am going to finish writing poems
In various ways and styles
இவ என் ஆளு....இவ என் ஆளு
இவ என் ஆளு....
காம்பௌண்டு சுவரில் எழுதி வைப்பேன்
இவ என் ஆளு....இவ என் ஆளு
இவ என் ஆளு....
கவர்ன்மெண்ட் பஸ்சில் எழுதி வைப்பேன்
இவ என் ஆளு
She is my girl... she is my girl
She is my girl...
I will write it on compound walls
She is my girl... she is my girl
She is my girl...
I will write it on government buses
She is my girl
எப்பேர்பட்ட அழகு அழகு
ரிப்பேர் ஆச்சு மனசு மனசு
ஓரக்கண்ணால் சிரிச்சு உசுர
ஓட்டி போனாலே....இவ என் ஆளு
What a grand beauty, beauty
My mind got repaired, repaired
Smiling from the corner of her eyes
She took my soul away... she is my girl
என் ஆளு என் ஆளு
இவ என் ஆளு
என் ஆளு என் ஆளு
இவ என் ஆளு
My girl, my girl
She is my girl
My girl, my girl
She is my girl
ஏழு எட்டு வாழ்க்கை
நம் கையில் இல்லை
ஆர்வ கோளாறில் மீறாதே எல்லை
காதலா வெறும் கண்ணாமூச்சியா
காலம்தான் அதில் சொல்ல வேண்டும்
வ வா ஆஅ....ஹா.....
Life's ups and downs
Are not in our hands
Out of overenthusiasm, do not cross boundaries
Is love just a game of hide-and-seek?
Only time must answer
Come, come... ah...
ஹா....ஆ....ஹா...ஆஅ...
முட்டாளுன்னு திட்டிடுற
மிட்டாய போல் இனிக்குதே
சட்டைக்குள்ள இதயமோ
சடவ்ன் பிரேக் அடிக்குதே
Ha... ah... ha...
She calls me a fool when scolding me
Yet it tastes sweet like candy
Inside my shirt, my heart
Slams sudden brakes
ரோல்லர் காஸ்டரில்
என் நாட்கள் ஓட
காலர் தூக்கியே விட்டு
நானும் ஆட
On a roller coaster
As my days rush by
Popping my collar up
I dance along too
பிபோர் லவ் என் வாழ்க்கையே
சும்மா சவ்வுதான்
ஆப்டர் லவ் என் லைப்ல
எல்லாம் ஜிவ்வுதான்
Before love, my life was
Just dull and stretched out like rubber
After love, in my life
Everything is full of energy and speed
மொறைக்கிறவன் மொறச்சிகட்டும்
கொறைக்குற நாய் கொறைச்சுகட்டும்
Let whoever stares glare back
Let a barking dog keep barking
இவ என் ஆளு....இவ என் ஆளு
இவ என் ஆளு....
உலகம் கேட்க்க கூவி சொல்வேன்
இவ என் ஆளு....இவ என் ஆளு
இவ என் ஆளு....
கடவுள பார்த்து சொல்ல போறேன்
She is my girl... she is my girl
She is my girl...
I will shout for the world to hear
She is my girl... she is my girl
She is my girl...
I am going to look at God and say
எப்பேர்பட்ட அழகு அழகு
ரிப்பேர் ஆச்சு மனசு மனசு
ஓரக்கண்ணால் சிரிச்சு உசுர
ஓட்டி போனாலே....
What a grand beauty, beauty
My mind got repaired, repaired
Smiling from the corner of her eyes
She took my soul away...
பழைய ரசம் போன கண்ணாடி
பிம்பம் போல் இருந்தேன்
இப்போ ஹை பிக்ஸ்சல் போட்டோவா
