Without any tuning
She made me sing
Without any control
She made me dance
பேஜாரு பண்ணாத

நீ கீறாத தா தா தா
Don't trouble me
Don't take me for granted
I didn't ask for scissors
So don't scratch or cut me
Give, give, give...

Though I am just an LKG-level simple guy
Ten kilograms of heavy love

Wandering around freely
Making me a love bird
She made me fly

Oh thief-like girl, oh cunning girl
You play with my heart like a ball
I am struggling, I am struggling
From now on, you dwell in my breath, girl

ஹே வெல்வெட்டு

Hey, on my velvet cheek
A kiss etched like a stone inscription
You stamped it directly without any tollgate

You made me scream in waiting

வெட்கப்பட்டேன் உன்
பார்வையில் சிக்கிக்கிட்டேன்
உன் மூச்சுல சொக்கிப்புட்டேன்
உன் ஜோடியா இனி நான் வாரேன்
Only because of you I blushed
I got caught in your gaze
I got intoxicated by your breath
From now on, I will be your partner
