Fish-eyed beauty, just listen

and ask around about me.

I'm going to sweep you up and carry you off,

blindfolding your eyes!

Looking at you inch by inch,

I was left longing for you.

Shredding me to wisps like cotton every day,

aren't you my match?

In passing, you strike at my lock,

and I shattered into pieces!

{Thin thaakku ku thim

Tharikida

Thin thaakku ku thim} (2)

Fish-eyed beauty, just listen

and ask around about me.

I'm going to sweep you up and carry you off,

blindfolding your eyes!

{Thin thaakku ku thim

Tharikida

Thin thaakku ku thim

Tharikida

With your sugary words, you run the whole show,

stepping right into my eyes.

You shake me down to my very roots,

hiding deep inside my heart.

You make me look like a fool when I try to climb a roof,

walking past, granddaughter of Saraswati!

As I strode ahead, you made me stumble,

you made me completely flustered,

you are the very first person to do so!

Wearing a bindi and casting a love spell,

setting off sparks in your eyes and taming me, you enchantress!

Fish-eyed beauty, just listen

and ask around about me.

I'm going to sweep you up and carry you off,

blindfolding your eyes!

....................................

My legs won't move and my hands won't work,

whenever I lie around thinking of you.

For this sickness of love

to be cured, won't you

give me a kiss as medicine?

Giving an intoxicating shot into my breath,

you walk away like an Ilaiyaraaja song!

You swept me off my feet and made me cry out,

blossoming all over

inside the cage of my soul!

You made my heart leap, then left it melting,

pinching and tormenting me, leaving me wandering the streets!

Fish-eyed beauty, just listen

and ask around about me.

I'm going to sweep you up and carry you off,

blindfolding your eyes!

Looking at you inch by inch,

I was left longing for you.

Shredding me to wisps like cotton every day,

aren't you my match?

In passing, you strike at my lock,

and I shattered into pieces!

Fish-eyed beauty, just

listen and ask about me............
