Enough of just love,
Enough of just love,
When will you gather me in your arms?
Enough of just love,
Enough of just love,
When will you kiss me?
When my eyes close,
You enter even into my dreams,
Yet to join hands with me,
You always forget.
Fall into me like a raindrop,
I will give myself to you like a fresh flower.
Enough of just love,
Enough of just love,
When will you gather me in your arms?
Among all the men here,
You are the most handsome!
I have told the whole world.
Even roses would lose to your glowing skin;
I would admire you even in the dark.
Aishwarya Rai would ask
For an autograph from you,
And Salman Khan would come
To file a complaint against me!
Against your bare chest,
I will bury my face.
In your heartbeat,
I will listen for my name.
Don't keep moving away from me,
Give yourself to me.
Enough of just love,
Enough of just love,
When will you gather me in your arms?
...
If your heart slips away
And falls into my hands,
I will be born anew.
If you flutter your eyes
And give me a signal,
I will fall in love with this whole world.
Seeing how handsome you are,
Even Ajith might feel jealous!
If you walk with your stylish swagger,
You could outshine even Vijay!
Even the moon
Would ask you for light.
Even the sun
Would ask you for warmth.
Don't keep moving away from me,
Give yourself to me.
Enough of just love,
Enough of just love,
When will you gather me in your arms?
Enough of just love,
Enough of just love,
When will you kiss me?
When my eyes close,
You enter even into my dreams,
Yet to join hands with me,
You always forget.
Fall into me like a raindrop,
I will give myself to you like a fresh flower.
Enough of just love,
Enough of just love,
When will you gather me in your arms?
