முதல் முறை நான் காணும்போதே
நண்பன் என்று நீ மாறினாய்
பார்த்ததும் என்ன வேண்டும் கேட்கிறேன்
எனது உயிர் பொறி கேட்கிறாய்
The very first time I saw you,
You transformed into my true friend.
The moment I saw you, I ask what you desire,
And you ask for the spark of my life.
கேட்ட உயிரை உந்தன் பரிசாய்
எடுத்து போக வா நண்பா
ஆ...ஆஹ்...ஆ...ஆ...கம் ஆன் கலாபக்கரா
Take the life you asked for as your gift,
Come and take it away, my friend!

Waiting for the movement of your feet.
என்னோட நெஞ்சுல ட்ரம் இருக்கு
உன்னோட காலுக்கு காதிருக்கு
There is a drum beating inside my chest,
Waiting for the movement of your feet.
வெண்ணிலா கீழொரு ஸ்டேஜ் இருக்கு
நாம் ஆட ராத்திரி காத்திருக்கு
There is a stage beneath the moonlight,
The night is waiting for us to dance.
ஓ...ஓ.....வெண்ணிலா கீழொரு ஸ்டேஜ் இருக்கு
நாம் ஆட ராத்திரி காத்திருக்கு
Oo...oo... there is a stage beneath the moonlight,
The night is waiting for us to dance.
