Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Did I ask you? Did I ask you?
Did I ever ask you to love me?
Wouldn't I? Wouldn't I give?
Wouldn't I give myself to you on my own?
As they touch me, as they touch me,
did your eyes turn into fingers?
As eyes met eyes,
did our words just slip away?
Day by day,
why am I growing so weak, my love?
I put my finger into the fire,
and you were sweet even there!
Are you that Kannamma described
by the turban-wearing poet (Bharathiyar)?
In all the science I have ever studied,
there is no wonder quite like you.
Science itself stands baffled,
my darling.
Am I really that
Einstein,
to study you like an experiment?
It is beyond me!
Are you a newly born star?
Do not leave this earth
and fly away into the sky.
Without water, without roots,
is it the magic of a blooming flower—
this thing called love? Ooh...
Without words, without a melody,
is it a poem sung by the eyes—
this thing called love? Ooh...
When the fruit of ancient lore
was tasted by Adam,
love was born on that very day.
When Omar Khayyam shaped it into verse,
love grew so beautifully.
Like the ripples that form
when a stone is thrown into water,
my love, I felt
ripples rising inside me.
Like throwing a pebble,
my darling, I cast my gaze,
and ripples of love formed
deep inside you!
Did I ask you? Did I ask you?
Did I ever ask you to love me?
Wouldn't I? Wouldn't I give?
Wouldn't I give myself to you on my own?
Mmm... mmm
By striking flint stones together,
a fire is usually made.
Ooh oh oh
Yet with eyes like matchsticks,
how did you spark a fire in me?
Ooh oh oh
Like camphor left out
in the open breeze,
I dissolved completely into you.
What separate address do I have anymore?
I have become your shadow.
Calling your name over and over,
even my saliva turned into sweet Tamil!
Female: Then why not
sing a poem about me?
It can never be captured in a poem,
my darling, this beauty of yours!
Female: Who else in this world
can tell sweet lies like you?
Did I ask you? Did I ask you?
Did I ever ask you to love me?
Wouldn't I? Wouldn't I give?
Wouldn't I give myself to you on my own?
