Oh Cupid, you are indeed an artist
Oh Cupid, you are indeed a poet
Oh Cupid, you are indeed a lover
Oh Cupid, you are indeed a protector
என்னை உனக்குள்ளே
தொலைத்தேன் ஏனோ தெரியல
உன்னை கண்ட நொடி ஏனோ
இன்னும் நகரல உந்தன் ரசிகை
நானும் உனக்கேன் புரியவில்லை
I lost myself inside you, I do not know why
The moment I saw you, time hasn't moved since, I don't know why
Why don't you understand that I am your fan?
{ எத்தனை ஆண்கள்
கடந்து வந்தேன் எவனையும்
பிடிக்கவில்லை இருபது வருடம்
உன்னைப்போல் எவனும்
என்னையும் மயக்கவில்லை } (2)
How many men have I passed by across my life
I did not like any single one of them
In twenty years, no one like you
Has ever captivated me like this

நானும் ஓர் பெண்
என பிறந்த பலனை இன்றே
தான் அடைந்தேன் உன்னை
நான் பார்த்த பின் ஆண்கள்
வர்கத்தை நானும் மதித்தேன்
எந்தன் நெஞ்சில் ஊஞ்சல் கட்டி
ஆடிக் கொண்டே இருக்கிறாய்
எனக்குள் புகுந்து எங்கோ நீயும்
ஓடிக்கொண்டே இருக்கிறாய்
Lai lai lai lalaa
Lai lai lai lalaa... lai lai lai lai lalaa
அழகாய் நானும்
மாறுகிறேன் அறிவாய்
நானும் பேசுகிறேன்
சுகமாய் நானும் மலருகிறேன்
உனக்கேதும் தெரிகிறதா
Today I have attained the true purpose of being born as a woman
After seeing you, I started respecting the entire male gender
You tie a swing inside my heart and keep swinging on it
Entering within me, you keep running somewhere inside
{ ஒரு முறை
பார்த்தால் பல முறை
இனிக்கிற என்ன விசித்திரமோ
நண்பனே எனக்கு காதலன்
ஆனால் அது தான்
சரித்திரமோ } (2)
I am transforming to look beautiful
I am speaking with wisdom
I am blossoming pleasantly
Do you notice any of this?
மன்மதனே
உன்னை பார்க்கிறேன்
மன்மதனே உன்னை
ரசிக்கிறேன் மன்மதனே
உன்னை ருசிக்கிறேன்
மன்மதனே உன்னில்
வசிக்கிறேன்
What a wonder it is, looking once brings sweetness multiple times
If a male friend becomes my lover, wouldn't that make history?
உன்னை முழுதாக
நானும் மென்று முழுங்கவோ
உந்தன் முன்னாடி மட்டும்
வெட்கம் மறக்கவோ எந்தன்
படுக்கை அறைக்கு உந்தன்
பேரை வைக்கவோ
Oh Cupid, I look at you
Oh Cupid, I admire you
Oh Cupid, I taste you
Oh Cupid, I live inside you
{ அடிமை சாசனம்
எழுதி தருகிறேன் என்னை
ஏற்று கொள்ள ஆயுள்
வரையில் உன்னுடன்
இருப்பேன் அன்பாய்
பார்த்துக்கொள்ள } (2)
Shall I chew and swallow you completely?
Shall I forget my shyness only in front of you?
Shall I name my bed after you?
