Kannaattiye …….
Flirting through your eyes and casting a net,
You lull me like a poem with your gaze.
Holding me close in daily hugs as our lips meet,
The sweet desires in my heart tell love stories.
By the curve of your lips,
I held a rose.
In the gentle shelter of my eyelids,
I will keep you safe.
By your side, with steadfast devotion,
I will pour out my love.
Like the sun from the farthest corner of the world,
I will shine light upon you.
Oh my darling, my lovely girl,
You made me swoon, rolling your playful eyes.
Oh my darling, my lovely girl,
I wandered around, strumming notes of love.
In the pouring rain of your love,
My entire world is drowned.
Whenever I think of you each day,
My heart beats with joy.
Just to hear your sweet voice,
My feet run towards you.
In the tender words of your love,
My whole world drifts along.
My shadow will follow you everywhere,
You fill every corner of my heart.
All our dreams will come true,
As I shine over you like moonlight.
His face shines bright in my eyes,
Openly, with nothing hidden.
I will hold you gently in my hands,
Never parting from your side.
Before the heavy rain pours down,
I will shelter you like an umbrella.
When the scorching heat beats down,
I will shield you like a mountain.
Cherishing you as my very life each day,
I will melt with love and kiss you.
Without you, even for a single moment,
If we part, I would die.
Oh my darling, my lovely girl,
Female: I will lock you safely inside my heart.
Male: Oh my darling, my lovely girl,
Female: Reaching out our hands, we have become one.
Male: Oh my darling girl,
Female: Haa.. aa.. aaaa
Male: Oh my darling, my lovely girl,
Oh my darling girl...
