If the girl you love
Doesn't love you back, don't worry
Buddy, don't worry!
Even when the sun is blazing hot
Even when the rain pours down heavily
Don't stay away
Don't step away from her
Let's go... go, go, go!
Hey, if the girl you love
Doesn't love you back, don't worry
Buddy, don't worry!
[Whistling]
Male: Even when the sun is blazing hot
Even when the rain pours down heavily
Don't stay away
Don't step away from her
[Whistling]
Don't give up just because she doesn't look at you
Don't cut off the love inside your heart
Look, there is no rose without thorns here
If it pricks you, don't pull your hand away
Even if she hurts you, don't get angry
Hey, love, love, love
A love with no rivals
No need to put on a fake act
One-sided love... hey!
Hey, love, love, love
A love without words
Life goes by just in dreams
One-sided love
Hey, if the girl you love
Doesn't love you back, don't worry
Buddy, don't worry!
Even when the sun is blazing hot
Even when the rain pours down heavily
Don't stay away
Don't step away from her
What... okva...
Hey, did it touch her hand?
Did it kiss her?
The breeze that brushed past her...
For that very breeze,
Look, one-sided love yearns!
Hey, we will wait for ten whole days
Just for a single glance from her
We will stand starving on the street
Even if she scolds us or spits on us
We don't care at all
We would hold her gently in our palm
We would cherish her deep inside our heart
Hey, love, love, love
A love that waits patiently
Slicing the wrist with a blade
One-sided love
Hey, love, love, love
A love that drowns in drinks
With no shame, with no pride
One-sided love
If the girl you love
Doesn't love you back, don't worry
Buddy, don't worry!
Ey... ahan ey...
As heaps and heaps of
Love gather together,
The courage in your heart grows immense, bro!
Hey, yearning and longing,
Enduring pain after pain,
A love born this way lasts forever, bro!
Ahan... ahan... ahan...
We are not Kamal, Ajith, or Suriya, bro
Nor do we have bundles of cash, bro
Just looking at someone's heart alone
To fall in love,
You have got to give it a little time, bro
The love that comes from that has a special kind of pain, bro
Hey, love, love, love
Telephone booth love
That hangs up just after hearing her voice
One-sided love, hey...
Hey, love, love, love
Pure and sacred love
The very first love that comes to any guy
One-sided love
