நானே நீயாக தோன்றுவதேன்......
மயக்கத்திலே.....
தோன்றுவதேன் மயக்கத்திலே...
கோலம் போடும் பார்வை இன்று
கொடியில் ஆடும் மலர்கள் மீது
ஜாலம் செய்யும் ஜாடை என்னவோ...
ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ
Why do you appear as yourself

Hoo hoo hoo hoo
போதையோடு ஆசை வந்து சேர்ந்தது
புத்தி இன்று நம்மை விட்டு போனது
போதையோடு ஆசை வந்து சேர்ந்தது

அந்த நேரம் உந்தன் தேவை என்னவோ.....
ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ ......ஹோ ஓஒ ஓ

கட்டி வைத்த மாலை இங்கு வாடுது
தொட்டு தொட்டு பாடும் கண்கள் ஏங்குது
கனியிதழில் கலந்துவிடு......
கனியிதழில் கலந்துவிடு.....
இந்த நேரம் நல்ல நேரமல்லவா.....
ஹா....ஆ....ஆ....ஆ....ஹா....ஆ.....
The woven garland is wilting here
The eyes that touch and sing are yearning
Merge into these sweet, fruit-like lips
Merge into these sweet, fruit-like lips
Isn't this moment the auspicious time?
