கட்டிக்கோடா என்ன கட்டிக்கோடா
சட்ட பையில் பொத்தி வச்சுக்கோடா
ஒத்த வார்த்த மொத்த வாழ்க்க
உனக்காக நான் வாழ்வேனே
Embrace me, hug me tight
Tuck me safe inside your shirt pocket
One single word, a whole lifetime
I will live just for you
கட்டிக்கோடா என்ன கட்டிக்கோடா
சட்ட பையில் பொத்தி வச்சுக்கோடா
ஒத்த வார்த்த மொத்த வாழ்க்க
உனக்காக நான் வாழ்வேனே டா
Embrace me, hug me tight
Tuck me safe inside your shirt pocket
One single word, a whole lifetime
I will live just for you, my dear
பள்ளிகூட பாடம் போலதானே
உன் நெனப்பாதான் படிக்கிறேன்
கண்ணமூடி காதல் கடத்தெரு
கைப்புடிச்சி நானும் நடக்கிறேன்
Just like a school lesson
I am constantly studying your thoughts
Closing my eyes in the street market of love
I am walking along, holding your hand
உப்புமூட்ட என்ன தூக்கி
ஊர சுத்தி காட்ட வேணும்
சப்புக்கொட்டி உன் நெனப்பா தின்னேனடா
Lift me up on a piggyback ride
And show me around the town
Smacking my lips, I savored your memories
இடைகண்ட உடை நீதான்
வாடா நீ வாடா நீ
Ah, you are the comfort amidst all this
Come to me, oh come to me
கட்டிக்கோடா என்ன கட்டிக்கோடா
சட்ட பையில் பொத்தி வச்சுக்கோடா

Embrace me, hug me tight
Tuck me safe inside your shirt pocket
One single word, a whole lifetime
I will live just for you, my dear
பாக்குற பார்வை மட்டும்தானே
முட்டிமோதி என்ன கொல்லுதே
இருக்குற இந்த நொடிகூட
உசுரு உனக்காக துடிக்குதே
Is it just the glance you throw at me?
It strikes hard and slays me inside
Even this very passing second
My heart beats only for you
Thinking of you causes an internal civil war within me
How can I even put it into words, you are everything
உன்ன எண்ணி உள்ளுக்குள்ள
உள்நாட்டு கலவரம்தான்
என்னவென்று நானும் சொல்ல நீதானடா
You are the comfort amidst all this
Come to me, oh come to me
இடைகண்ட உடை நீதான்
வாடா நீ வாடா நீ
Embrace me, hug me tight
Tuck me safe inside your shirt pocket
One single word, a whole lifetime
I will live just for you
கட்டிக்கோடா என்ன கட்டிக்கோடா
சட்ட பையில் பொத்தி வச்சுக்கோடா
ஒத்த வார்த்த மொத்த வாழ்க்க
உனக்காக நான் வாழ்வேனே
Embrace me, hug me tight
Tuck me safe inside your shirt pocket
One single word, a whole lifetime
I will live just for you, my dear
கட்டிக்கோடா என்ன கட்டிக்கோடா
சட்ட பையில் பொத்தி வச்சுக்கோடா
