No need for wild passion,
I will lock myself inside the home of the Love God.

Deadly Sura, only Sura.
You are born to rule,
You are too cool.
You are my Sura, brave hero of love,
You are too cool.

காட்சி மாறும்
பூவைக் கண்டாலே போதை ஏறும்
Just a hand's reach away,
The scenery changes,
Just looking at the flower, intoxication rises.

Always behind you,
A cluster of roses,
While I am a puppet dancing in your hands.
