நீ......மயக்குற
மடக்குற கடத்துற
நான்.....ஒடையுறேன்
நொடியில மடியுறேன்
சரவெடியா நானும்
உன்னால பீசாகுறேன்
அதிரடியா நீயும்
முன்னால மாசாகுறேன்
You... mesmerize me
You bend me and kidnap me
I... am breaking down
I perish in a second
Like a string of firecrackers, I...
...turn into pieces because of you
Action-packed, you...
...become stylish in front of me
திக்கவச்சி
என் ஸ்பாட்டுகுள்ளர வெயிட் ஆகுற
நிக்கவச்சி என் ஹார்ட்டில்
நீ வந்து சீட் ஆகுற
Stuttering inside my spot...
...you carry immense weight within
Making me stand, in my heart...
...you come and take a seat
பப்பபபார பாக்காத
தத்தத்தார தாக்காத
பார்வை என்னை கொத்தி போகுது
பிப்பீ டும்டும் ஊதாம
பம்பரம்பம் பாடாம
உன்னை சுத்தி நெஞ்சு ஓடுது
Don't look with that catchy rhythm
Don't attack me with that beat
Your glance peckers and takes me away
Without playing trumpets or drums
Without singing 'pamparampam'
My heart runs in circles around you
ஓஒ.....உன் கருப்பு வெள்ளை
கண்ணாலதான்
ஓஒ.....நீ காட்டிப்போற ரங்கோலிதான்
ஓஒ.....நீ பாத்ததால தொலைஞ்சேனடா
ஓஒ.....நீ பாக்கனுன்னு அலைஞ்சேனடா
Ooo... through your black and white...
...eyes
Ooo... you leave behind a colorful rangoli
Ooo... I lost myself because you looked at me
Ooo... I wandered around wishing you would look at me
நீ தொட்ட நொடி மட்டும்
நகராம நீள
மனசிப்ப தித்திக்குது
அலங்காரம் இல்லாம
அழகாகி போறேன்
அச்சம் மெல்ல கூச்சமாகுது
Only the moment you touched me
Stretches endlessly without moving
My heart now tastes sweet
Without any makeup or adornments
I am becoming beautiful
Fear slowly transforms into shyness
ஓஒ....சத்தங்கள் இல்ல
என் பேச்சுல
ஓஒ.....யுத்தங்கள் பாய என் மூச்சுல
ஓஒ......அர்த்தங்கள் இல்ல என் போக்குல
ஓஒ.......ஆராய்ஞ்சு பாக்க ஆசை இல்ல
Ooo... there are no sounds
In my speech
Ooo... wars rage inside my breath
Ooo... there is no logic in my ways
Ooo... I have no desire to analyze it further
உன்னோட நெனைப்பிங்க
மரங்கொத்தி போல
உசுருக்குள் தொளை போடுதே
யாரோடும் தோக்காத
என் பெண்மைகூட
உன்னை பாத்து தோக்க துடிக்குதே
Your thoughts here
Like a woodpecker
Drill a hole into my life and soul
Never defeated by anyone
Even my womanhood
Yearns to surrender upon seeing you
பப்பபபார பாக்காத
தத்தத்தாரா தாக்காத
பார்வை என்னை கொத்தி போகுது
பிப்பீ டும்டும் ஊதாம
பம்பரம்பம் பாடாம
உன்னை சுத்தி நெஞ்சு ஓடுது
Don't look with that catchy rhythm
Don't attack me with that beat
Your glance peckers and takes me away
Without playing trumpets or drums
Without singing 'pamparampam'
My heart runs in circles around you
நன்னா நான நானானா
நான நான நானானா
நான நான நான நான னா
நன்னா நான நானானா
நான நான நானானா
நான நான நான நான னா
