கண்ண வீசி கண்ண வீசி
கட்டி போடும் காதலி
கண்ணு ரெண்டும்
முத்தம் கேட்க்குதே
Casting glances, casting glances
Lover who ties me down
Both my eyes
Are asking for a kiss
கொஞ்சி பேசி கொஞ்சி பேசி
கூறு போட்டு போறடி
துண்டு துண்டா ஆசை கூடுதே
Speaking affectionately, speaking affectionately
Girl, you cut me into pieces as you go
Desire increases piece by piece
லேசா அழகுல
தானா விழுகுறேன்
நீ பேசி சிரிக்கையில்
உன் உதட்டுல உறையுறேன்
வாழ்க்க வாழத்தான்
உன்னோடு இருக்குறேன்
உன்கூட நடக்கும் போது
மழையில்லாம நினைஞ்சு போகுறேன்
In your subtle beauty
I fall automatically
When you talk and smile
I freeze on your lips
Just to live life
I am with you
When walking with you
I get drenched without rain
கண்ண வீசி கண்ண வீசி
கட்டி போடும் காதலி
கண்ணு ரெண்டும்
முத்தம் கேக்குதே
Casting glances, casting glances
Lover who ties me down
Both my eyes
Are asking for a kiss
கொஞ்சி பேசி கொஞ்சி பேசி
கூறு போட்டு போறடி
துண்டு துண்டா ஆசை கூடுதே
Speaking affectionately, speaking affectionately
Girl, you cut me into pieces as you go
Desire increases piece by piece
அடடா எனகென்ன ஆகுது
தினம் போகும் வழியெல்லாம்
இப்ப மறந்து மறந்து போகுது
தனியா நான் நிக்கும் போதெல்லாம்
உன் எண்ணம் மட்டும்தான்
நிக்காம போதை ஏறுது
Oh my, what is happening to me?
All the paths I daily travel
Are now getting forgotten
Whenever I stand alone
Only thoughts of you
Intoxicate me endlessly
முழுசா உனக்கென நான் வாழுறேன்
புதுசா தினம் தினம் என பாக்குறேன்
அழுதா தோளுல நான் சாஞ்சுப்பேன்
அளவில்லாம ஆசை வெக்குறேன்
I live completely for you
I see myself anew every day
If I cry, I lean on your shoulder
I hold boundless desire for you
ஏனோ தானோ
என்று போன நாளும்
எல்லாம் நீயே
என்று மாறுதே
Casual and aimless
Even the days that passed
Everything is you
It changes into
யாரும் இல்லா
நேரம் வந்த பின்னும்
உனதருகில் காதல் ஒன்று
கண்டேன் பெண்ணே
There is no one else
Even after that time arrives
Near you, love
I found, oh girl
லேசா அழகுல
தான விழுகுறேன்
நீ பேசி சிரிக்கையில்
உன் உதட்டுல உறையுறேன்
வாழ்க்க வாழத்தான்
உன்னோட இருக்குறேன்
உன்கூட நடக்கும் போது
மழையில்லாம நினைஞ்சு போகுறேன்
In your subtle beauty
I fall automatically
When you talk and smile
I freeze on your lips
Just to live life
I am with you
When walking with you
I get drenched without rain
கண்ண வீசி கண்ண வீசி
கட்டி போடும் காதலி
கண்ணு ரெண்டும்
முத்தம் கேக்குதே
Casting glances, casting glances
Lover who ties me down
Both my eyes
Are asking for a kiss
உசுர எழுதி
மடுச்சி உனக்கு தாரேன்
மூச்சு காத்தா
கடைசி வரைக்கும் வாரேன்
உசுர எழுதி
மடுச்சி உனக்கு தாரேன்
Writing down my life
I fold and give it to you
As the breath of life
I will stay until the end
Writing down my life
I fold and give it to you
Kanna veesi kanna veesi
Casting glances, casting glances
Katti podum kaadhali
