ஆத்தா ஆத்தா கண்ணால பாத்தா

ஸ்லிப் ஆன லிப்பால கொக்கா மக்கா
Oh my, she looked at me with her eyes
She gave a super hot look
She came like a rhythmic beat, a complete treat
Stunned completely by her slippery lips
ஹே! ஜிமிக்கி ஜிமிக்கி ஜிமிக்கி பொண்ணு

வாக்கிங் வரும் சாக்லேட் செலையாட்டம்
Hey girl wearing jiggling jhumkas
With glittering, shining eyes
She sways like rolling ocean waves
Like a walking chocolate statue in motion
ஹே! டஸ்கி டஸ்கி டஸ்கி ரோஸூ
ஹஸ்கி ஹஸ்கி ஹஸ்கி வாய்சு

ஊருக்குள்ள ஏஞ்சல் நடமாட்டம்
A dusky-toned rose
With a husky, alluring voice
Beautiful like a gentle drizzle
An angel walking around in town
என்ன கட்டி இழுத்தவன் நீ தானே
நானும் இப்போ உனக்கொரு ஃபேன் தானே
You are the one who pulled me towards you
And now I am a big fan of yours
Male: On the pretext of coming close and brushing against me
You strike my soul, being a spear of chaos

உயிருல தாக்குற கலவர கோள் நீயே
You are insanely handsome
I should get to know you little by little
Male: In the hands that draw your beauty
He sprinkled nectar into the dissolving ink
எக்க சக்க அழகனும் நீ தானே
கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சம் பழகணும் நான் தானே
உன் அழக வரையுற கையில
கரையுர மையுல அமுதத்த தெளிச்சானே
Is it this moon that appeared there back then?
Is it that moon that appeared here today?
For the eyes of both who experience bliss
Isn't the white moon one and the same?
அன்றங்கே வந்ததும் இந்த நிலவா
இன்றிங்கே வந்ததும் அந்த நிலவா
இன்பம் பெறும் இருவர் கண்ணுக்கும்
வெண்ணிலவு ஒன்றே அல்லவா
Hey hey, you you
Hey, if you wear makeup
It creates a spot on the moon
Hey, you are my sweetheart
I am melting here
On your house's name board
Where is your lover's name?
ஹே! ஹே! நீ நீ ஹே! மேக்கப் பண்ண
நிலாவில் கர ஒண்ணு உண்டாக்குதே
ஹே! கண்ணாடி நீ தான் டி
உடையுறேன் நான் இங்க
உங்க வீட்டு நேம் போர்டில்
மாமனோட பேரெங்க
The friend zone is being cut from its roots
My life is getting set with you
Your heart is becoming my cozy hut
Don't run away, I am slipping because of you
ஃப்ரெண்ட் சோனு வேரோட கட் ஆகுது
உன்னோட என் லைஃபு செட் ஆகுது
உன் ஹார்ட் என்னோட ஹட் ஆகுது
ஓடாதே ஒன்னாலே ஸ்லிப் ஆகுது
A cup of your kiss for dinner
Hand yourself over to the doctor, what is wrong with that?
Female: You warm things up and gaze intently at me
You tip me over with your mischief, your hype is soaring
டின்னருக்கு உன் முத்தம் ஒரு கப்பு
டாக்டருக்கு உன்ன குடு என்ன தப்பு
ஹீட் பண்ணி குறு குறு பாக்குற
குறும்புல சாய்க்குற எகுறுது உன் ஹைப்பு
Oh my, she looked at me with her eyes
She gave a neat, classy look
She came like a beat, Preetha
