கரு கரு விழிகளில்
ஒரு காந்தம் தோன்றுதே
சிறு சிறு உதடுகள் என்னை
கவ்வி சென்றதே
In those deep dark eyes,
A magnetic pull seems to appear.
Her delicate small lips,
Seized and captivated me completely.
இதயத்தின்
துடிப்பிலே ஒரு இசை
தான் கேட்குதே ஓ
பெண்ணே பெண்ணே
நீ யாரோ
In the rhythm of my heartbeat,
A sweet melody is being heard.
Oh girl, oh girl,
Who are you really...
ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம்
ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்
ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்
ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்
