Ennai katti izhupadhu thingal vizhi thaano

Is it those moon-like eyes that pull me in?
Why does this fire twist within me?
It wrestles here and there, and my words slowly falter,
My feet are not on the ground today.
As playful games in love win over the heart,
As playful games in love win over the heart,
I am filled as yours, I have melted away completely.
The flute melody wandering within to caress and overwhelm—it is all Krishna's doing.
As playful games in love win over the heart,
As playful games in love win over the heart,
I am filled as yours, I have melted away completely.
The flute melody wandering within to caress and overwhelm—it is all Krishna's doing.
(It is all Krishna's doing, it is all Krishna's doing)
Drizzles at the window, deep longings for Krishna,
My heart yearns to love without holding anything back.
Female: One moment is romantic passion, the next a gentle humming,
My heart yearns to swim across both.
Wherever this body rests turns into an enchanting forest,
Shall I keep following and walk along this path?
Female: O sky that holds tomorrow, across countless ages,
My heart will keep searching and following after you.
For some reason, in a moment, the crescent yearns to be a full moon,
As distances shift, it longs for closeness.
To come again and again, to wrap myself around you,
Everything in me is woven into you.
As playful games in love win over the heart,
As playful games in love win over the heart,
I am filled as yours, I have melted away completely.
The flute melody wandering within to caress and overwhelm—it is all Krishna's doing.
Krishna, you have returned again today,
Why did you return again today, Krishna?
In a single moment, I would blend colors into our bond.
There is a question, but why is there no answer, my friend? Ah!
There is a question, but why is there no answer, my friend?
Even if it pierces my body, oh, will I survive?
Even if it pierces my body, oh, will I survive?
My heart will keep pleading every single day.
There is a question, but why is there no answer, my friend?
As playful games in love win over the heart,
As playful games in love win over the heart,
I am filled as yours, I have melted away completely.
The flute melody wandering within to caress and overwhelm—it is all Krishna's doing.
As playful games in love win over the heart,
As playful games in love win over the heart,
I am filled as yours, I have melted away completely.
The flute melody wandering within to caress and overwhelm—it is all Krishna's doing.
