Kadhavai thirandhaaye
Nuzhaindhaen paayum kaattraaga
Uyirai thirandhaaye
Vedithen seerum ootraaga

Hey nodiyil nee theeradhe

Kuzhalai kuzhalai vari nee vari
Idhazhai idhazhaal ari nee ari

Vizhiyaal endhan maeniyil poopari
Kaiyaal theendu pinnale
Kadhavai thirandhaaye
Nuzhaindhaen paayum kaattraaga
Uyirai thirandhaaye

You opened the door
I rushed in like a gust of wind
You unlocked my soul
I burst out like a surging spring
Do not just drift like a gentle breeze
Will you enter like a storm?
Hey, do not end in an instant
Will you keep coming like waves?
Burn shadow with shadow, burn it away
Comb through my hair, strand by strand
Graze lips against lips, nibble gently
Even before a kiss blossoms
Strip away the fear and the clothes, peel them off
Unwrap me like a mystery gift, unwrap it
Pluck flowers across my body with your eyes
Touch me with your hands only after that
You opened the door
I rushed in like a gust of wind
You unlocked my soul
I burst out like a surging spring
Where should my first touch land?
My love, my love, will you tell me?
Wherever you feel afraid to touch
Will you go there first?
Just placing a finger on your chest
Electricity shoots through my head
Just a kiss for a single moment
A drizzle moistens the corner of my eyes
Grip my hair with your fingers, hold it tight
Drink my soul with your lips, drink it down
Bite into my body with your nails, dig in
Let a little blood drizzle out
Bathe in this raining fire, bathe in it
If it boils over, sprinkle down like rain
Tear whatever is untorn, tear it open
Let the heavens rise inside me
Do not finish so soon
If you end it, the world will stop spinning
Even if we drink it all
The body's thirst will never fade
You opened the door
I rushed in like a gust of wind
You unlocked my soul
I burst out like a surging spring
